  A Minivan Im not embarrased by - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By JohnB - February 25 - 12:33 am

  My wife and I always vowed we would never buy a minivan, however when our SUV was starting to die we couldnt deny the mileage advantages of a minivan. The Montana has been great, 2 tone black with leather, lots of options and fun to drive. Plus it has been rock solid reliable.

  Room for growing family - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By momof2 - December 14 - 2:00 am

  All and all a good van so far (21,000 miles). Need a few changes in the design. First the windsheild wipers suck. Snow and ice accumulate where they are suppose to go down under the hood. Second:the heating system for the second row of seats is not good. If your third row is folded and tipped the 2nd row doesnt get much heat. The dome light blinds the person driving when turned on. Rear wiper is great especially when you live on gravel, but they need to move the washer sprayer to the center of the window and make it an actual sprayer. Now it just runs out.

  So far-so good - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Shangshang - December 3 - 10:00 am

  This is the first review of our (new to us) 1999 Pontiac Montana. We have a huge extended family and a total of 5 so far in ours. We are a softball/ baseball family as well and travel to tournaments. I will report our findings both good and bad as this seems to be a very solid van. By the way I am 62" @ 235lbs and I FIT IN THIS VAN! Woo-hoo..

  So far so good - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By larryrbenson - November 19 - 3:50 pm

  I picked this minivan up at an auction a week ago and so far I need to get some front end work done (shocks or struts, it drives well but with the FWD and weight in the front it rides hard and you can feel most the bumps). There are a few issues, Gas Gauge is not working properly, Passenger side sliding door motor does not work, you can hear it click but never engages. Other than that.. Its roomy, engine and transmission still feel very strong and smooth at 187K miles and overall I am very happy with the purchase. Ill update this once I get my front end looked at and find out what the cost of getting the ride a bit smoother is and if any new bugs pop up but so far, good buy!

  IVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 2 YRS AND IT HAS 40,000 MILES.THE ONE IRRITATING FLAW IS THE FRONT WIPERS.EVERYTHING GETS CAUGHT UNDER THE WIPERS AND DOWN INTO THE HOOD.IN THE WINTER IVE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND CLEAR UNDER THE WIPERS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK RIGHT,BUT I LOVE MY VAN.I WISH REAR A/C AND HEAT WAS STANDARD ON EXTENDED VERSION,BECAUSE THE PASSENGERS IN THE WAY BACK DONT GET AS COOL.KNOCK ON WOOD I HAVE HAD NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS EXCEPT THAT MY A/C WENT AND I NEED TO BRING THE VAN IN.GREAT VAN.WOULD BUY AGAIN.

  It is what it is - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By enduran - September 24 - 10:00 am

  Has been a decent vehicle for our family. My Grandmother owned one that was plowed into a tree at about 30+ mph and I liked how the vehicle withstood the crash so we bought one. My wife loves it and I have had to make quite a few repairs lately because she doesnt want to let it go. If your Montana is overheating, without getting oil in your antifreeze, and antifeeze is being pushed out of your holding tank its the head gasket. I learned that the hard/expensive way. Currently has 151,000 miles hope it gives me plenty more.

  Great family minivan - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Steve from Philly - September 12 - 6:00 am

  The extended model is the way to go for larger families - plenty of cargo space. After 5 months and several ski trips we are still very pleased with this car. The GM Buypower purchasing experience was great - all the dickering by email, came in to sign the papers and the deal was EXACTLY as represented. No typical car dealer bull****. Try that with Hondas "You can test drive it if you buy it first" approach.

  Love the SV6! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Shell0995 - July 27 - 7:36 am

  I had did comparisons between the Uplander and SV6. Found the SV6 to be a better deal. We purchased a 2005 in 2/06, so it was one of the last of the previous year to be sold off the lot. Had pretty much all options on it, which is great. The standard DVD system is great for our 2 yr old.

  Montana 99 - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Wendy Kihl - May 27 - 10:00 am

  Weve been so pleased with our Montana we are considering a 2003. We have driven Plymouth and GMC and this has been our favorite so far. The ride and gas mileage are terrific. There have been no major repairs in 4+ years. The overhead console, power seat, steering wheel controls, front and rear air, to name a few, have all been excellent options. The only down side to the vehilce is that is doesnt seem to retain much of a trade in value, which is disappointing.
