  4th Pontiac MiniVan - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By EEEVan - July 28 - 2:00 am

  This is my 4th Pontiac Mini Van. My first was bought in 1990. Pontaic has continued to remove feature from previous years vechicle model. There are no longer pouches on the back of the front seats for storage and no storage compartment below the front passenger seat. The adjustor for tilt in the front seats is now a lever vs. the more user friendly knob adjuster. Dealership unaware of the fact that Anit-lock brakes are no longer a standard feature with the vechicle.

  5 years old and no out of pocket repairs - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Garch - June 28 - 10:00 am

  We bought our 7 passenger Transport with the Montana package 10/98 for family vacations. We have had no unexpected repairs, but it has been recalled twice. We maintain it by the book. After 3 trips from the midwest to Orlando and numerous 1000 mile, or more, trips we are still confident in the van. We just used an Expedition for a trip with 8 people to San Antonio. It was a surprise that the Pontiac has more driver, passenger and cargo room than the SUV (not to mention 7 mpg better economy and half the insurance costs). We will either replace the present Minivan with another or perhaps a Yukon XL. But will not even consider the cramped Expedition.

  Love My Van - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By B C Harvey - June 6 - 1:36 am

  I purchased this van and immediately was impressed with the comfort since I have 4 major disabilities with my lower back. Secondly, it was fun to drive and felt like a solid (no rattles)automobile. Being a 7 passenger is handy at times as I live in Sr. housing and often transport my friends to and from their appointments. And, they are also impressed with the can and the comfort.

  Great van - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By apd124 - May 30 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Montana. It is a 2003 currently. Our previous Montana was a 1999 with the same problems as usualy reported (blown head gaskets, manifold gaskets). This was due to Pontiac using the new long life coolent and paper gaskets which the long life coolent rapidly deteriorates. All was replaced under warranty with no problems and the van drove great throughout. They have apparently fixed this problem on the newer years which is great.

  nice van - poor quality - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Randy P - April 25 - 4:03 am

  I have owned the Montana for about 4 years. I purchased it used with 40K miles. I like the ride, the comfort and the features. I do not like the poor quality and the continual repairs. Engine gasket leak, fuel gauge went out requiring replacement of whole fuel system at hundreds of dollars. Even a simple brake job is expensive because the rotors have to be replaced the first time because they were built with no room to turn them even once. Electrical problems with water leakage into lights caused the whole system to act up costing hundreds to diagnose and fix.... etc etc etc.
