  Montana is very solid! - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By mitsos16 - September 9 - 10:00 am

  We purchased our Montana (Thunder Edition) with Montana vision and the sports package that came with the Thunder badging a month before the birth of our second son. I can say that it was a wise decision and although deep down I wanted the Odyssey I am very happy with our Montana. I have had no major problems with it at 18k miles and the little ones love the dvd system (as do mom and dad)! I think the controls are functional, but have the cheap feel that all GM vehicles have. The location of the dvd player is a bit inconvenient (by the floor on the front center console) and the controls for the DVD player are not laid out well.

  A - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By headhound - August 22 - 2:00 am

  We wanted to replace our 1995 Suburban. My wife didnt want another SUV but did want/need AWD. We were pleased with the price/performance of the Montana. It came with a misaligned front and rear parking assist problem. The dealership has been good about adressing the issues. The rear window washer does not spray enough volume. They dont know if the problem can corrected or if it is a design issue. The van is safe, easy to drive, inexpensive to operate, excellent in bad weather, and holds a lot. Overall, it is a tough little "Tony" Montana that can handle what is thrown at it.

  Very Disappointed - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By mad@gm - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Purchased vehicle new in Dec 03 from Conkle pontiac. Problems with interior features from day 1. Winshield leaked damaging the headliner. In the first month of ownership the van was in the shop 20 days. The dealership has never fixed the problems and are now refusing to work on it. My audio controls and all my interior lights are hanging down. Windows do not operate properly. it has a continuing popping noise that is very loud and now my engine has developed a knock. Would not recommend this vehice to anyone.

  junk van - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By DRat - February 13 - 2:00 am

  At 36,700 miles had to replace the manifold intake gasket. Had to fight with GM to get them to pay for the 1,000 dollar repair. At 37,400 had to replace a head gasket. GM automatically paid for this expensive repair. I was hoping to pay it off and drive it for many years but I think I might have to trade it in on a toyota or honda. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE. DO NOT BUY A MONTANA MINI-VAN.

  First Purchase of GMC Vehicle - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By bridjon - December 27 - 9:36 pm

  This vehicle gives a very comfortable ride, unfortunately the interior display is awful, dials are difficult to read. We have had no mechanical problems in 18 months and she starts first time every time (whatever the weather). The paint finish has chipped in a couple of places (without any rough treatment on our part!)we never had this problem with our previous van (Mitshbishi). We are very happy overall and accept that every vehicle has a drawback of some sort, those on the Montana are easy to live with as they have nothing to with reliability and that for us is number one.

  Previous Car was a Bonneville - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By RonBliss - November 3 - 10:00 am

  Having recently expanded the family, we wanted something that could handle an extended ride with two kids and two dogs. The Montana had the best styling on the market and having owned a Bonneville with 200,000 miles on it I knew the Pontiac would hold up! The leather interior and DVD system make the vehicle fund to drive. The big surprise was the 3.4L V6 has more than enough performance!

  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.
