  Excellent Status - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Notcho - November 12 - 12:13 am

  Wanted a vehicle that would allow some movement in the vehicle while traveling. This one has auto outlets as well as a 110 outlet that can be used for a small plug in fridge. When I need to use the 4 cup coffee pot or microwave I just unplug the fridge for a few minutes and use the micro to pop some popcorn or what ever.. It also has a built in pump for pumping up what ever is needed. Last week I had a flat from a slug I picked up. Instead of having to change the flat tire I just got out the hose for the pump , blew up the tire and drove to the station for repair. Excellent handling and roadability.

  fun & functional - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By SaraE - November 8 - 3:43 am

  The 8-passenger seating with the fold flat seat is the way to go. We have had this van for 3 weeks and Ive used it many times already. We do have a full size truck with an extended cab, but this is much easier to use with also having two small children. Its handling is great. I went from a Prizm to this and dont feel any difference from a manuverablity standpoint. For as big as this is, thats saying something. I love it.

  I LUV IT - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By mom - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I was reluctant to move to a minivan but with two teenage children the time had come. I have been delighted with the space, versatility (8 seats that can be used in many configurations including removal of six to convert to open space)performance and ease of handling. Very comfortable for drivers and passengers.

  Doors dont fit properly. Does not keep its value very well. Although much better than the Dodge Mini Van probably will not buy another.

  Nice Family Vechicle - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By MPiela - October 29 - 2:00 am

  This is a nice family van. The DVD player is great for the kids, especially on longer rides. We have the cordless headsets, so we can listen to the radio while they watch the movie. The dual slding doors are a must.

  Family Van - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Upriver - October 24 - 12:53 pm

  I have owned a Montana for 4 years . it had 112000 klm on it. Now has 141000. All around great vehicle but it has had rear end troubles at a cost of $16000. thankfully under warranty. Now the rear end has gone again. Should it diengage the awd when cornering, Dont know. But they will spend another $ 11000 to fix it under warranty. It runs good just makes a howling noise when turning. I would buy one again.

  Reliable as a Model T - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Poor quality - September 21 - 7:00 am

  First thing the car did was the breaking and snapping off of the plastic parts inside the car. Cupholders, knobs, ect. Then the tail and brake lights. They dont just burn out, they fuse (melt) to the plastic tail lamps. This happens every 10,000 mi or so. Did I mention oil consumption? How about a quart every 2,000 mi. The electric rear windows leak also. Thats why there is huge stain on the rear carpet. A nice rusty color to boot. The radiator began overheating too (83,000 mi). When the van is started warm or cold, it likes to rev to 1500 rpm, so you have to turn it off and restart till it stays at 800 rpm. A mind of its own for sure. Will be buying anything but this, next time around

  bummer - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By rjk - September 19 - 4:56 am

  an example why GM is having trouble selling cars without steep discounts -- a real disappointment. Needed a new manifold gasket at 40,000 miles, trim is falling part, one window wont close, power window grinds, etc., etc.

  ABS Brake System needs work - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Sgt. Crunch - September 12 - 10:00 am

  We bought the Montana AWD "Versatrak" system to give us a little more security on slippery roads.Never had any slipping problems while I owned this van. BUT I did have the ABS front wheel assembly replaced FOUR TIMES in 45,000 mi.(Wheel bearing and ABS sensor are one unit)It cost Pontiac $450.00 a pop under warranty. Hope this dosen,t happen without a warrany.Pontiac extended my warranty to 75000 mi, on the ABS sensor. But I just sold it. Good luck for the next owner. Needs more power.Milage goes from 22 to 12 mpg when towing a 17Boat-not good.
