  2004 Ponitac Montana - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By Kayla C. - February 27 - 10:00 am

  This car was purchased new in 2004. It currently has 172,000 miles on the odometer and it still runs great. I have kept the oil changed every 3,000 miles and Dealer recommended services performed. The only problems I have had with the car is the wheel bearings had to be replaced and the air conditioner has problems cooling as it should.

  Save your Money - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By unhappy buyer - February 15 - 7:13 pm

  I have had to alternators installed, both front stabilizer bars installed, power rear window bracket installed, does not have a lot of power to get onto the freeways. The air conditioning does not work all the time, it cuts in and out ( more out than in ) in traffic, better to open the windows. I have been a GM buyer for a long time but after this one I think I will change.

  We love our Montana Mini Van - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By grisswalds - January 10 - 9:23 am

  We bought our Montana minivan new in 2003. It is now 2013 and were putting it up for sale. It has 260,000 miles on it and has been the best reliable vehicle weve ever bought. The only thing we had to replace was two hub assemblies and the alternator just went out last week. 260,000 miles on the same alternator.. Unheard of.. Just crazy. Weve been from New York to Texas to Florida and all parts in between. Its been a great family car. Thank you GM for making a reliable vehicle. Its been a great ride:)

  Roomy, comfortable, problematic - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By unsolicitedadvice - January 7 - 5:56 pm

  Purchased 1 yr old with 25K miles. Put 20K on it during ownership. Tons of room, with a comfortable-for-adults, fold-flat third row. Fits 5 adult passengers with 2nd row bench seating and 6+ full-sized luggage pieces with third row folded. Much storage. Engine was powerful to begin with, but definitely had lost noticeable "punch" after one year. CD stereo radio sound was adequate but not great. Questionable build quality created worrisome driving @ 42K miles with a loud, metallic "clanking" sound when riding over bumps (dealer attempted to fix, but sound resurfaced within 5K); "ghost" power door that closed on command but opened by itself when parked; "chirping" noises when I turned right.

  Pontiac Montana - 2005 Pontiac Montana

  The Montana is an excellent value. Our van was completely loaded and was purchased for thousands less than comparable vans. Reliabilty and quality have been very good, with no issues to date.

  This is crap from a lemon! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Mike - December 16 - 1:36 am

  We bought it with 50,000 km on it and in the first month the brakes had to be done and the heater fan went. Very uncomfortable if your over 6. Cloth seats stain badly, nice whistle sound at freeway speed, 20,000 km later brakes are gone again, tranny hesitates, slider doors dont close properly, center fold up consul was thrown out the first day, ext. trim falling off, electronics malfunctioning on a regular basis.

  2003 Montana Ext. minivan in Illinois - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By Rich Leverton - December 1 - 12:00 pm

  We love our 2003 Montana. It has been excellent in all aspects. We have never had any problems - mechanical or otherwise. This is our second Pontiac Minivan and we will be purchasing our third very shortly. We recommend this year and model to everyone!

  like it...but - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By traveler - November 28 - 10:00 am

  The general tires suck...34,000 miles and I already need new set. Rack & pinion is being replaced due to a leak also. Like the styling overall, but the uneven floor creates loading problems; everything slides or and tips forward.

  Love this - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By jbjq - November 12 - 8:53 pm

  I bought my dark red Montana from eBay in December 2003 for $11,700 and it had 42,130 miles on it. It has lots of extras including OnStar but I dont use OnStar. Mine is not the extended version. This vehicle is the perfect size. Not too large and not too small. It is the perfect height for getting into and out of. My kids would rather I drive a Cadillac CTS but too bad. But anyway I have just had regular maintenance done and a few minor glitches which I had fixed at Firestone. I have 90,750 miles on it now. Love this van. Oh and it gets 23 mpg. For what I paid I consider this vehicle to be a great value.
