Excellent Van
We have had this van since 2007, and never had a major problem with it.
Always kept it service regularly, and clean
Great in snow, and always started even on the coldest days.

Great family van
I have been driving this van for last 9 years.. never had any issues every. Recently changed the tie rods. Minor tuneups should get you going for another few years without any problems.

A good solid van
This is the second 2003 Montana I've owned. I find it's a dream on gas, comfortable to drive/ride in and it has a ton of space. Things I didn't like are the fact that the CD player is not MP3 compatible, and removing the 3rd row seating is a pain. (I remove them a lot - I have 4 kids, and also use the van to carry my band's gear to gigs)

Only minor problems over 4 years.
The biggest problems I've had have been with the driver's side window -- when closing, it catches on something inside the door momentarily, but then closes normally. Had it checked, and found the drive arm was bent. Was replaced, but lately it has started to doing it again. Gas economy leaves something to be desired, but otherwise it is pretty good for a van. I drive occasionally between Toronto and Buffalo, and recently between Toronto and Kingston. Handles very well on the highway, but is a little heavy for just two people, now. But I'll keep it until I can get a respectable value for it in trade. Dealers want you to give it away to them because GM no longer makes Pontiacs. It has given me more reliable service than any previous van I've had, including my previous Town & Country.

2003 Pontiac Montana
I bought this car used, Have owned and operated it for 3 years now during which this time it seems as though there is always something else going wrond with it. I have heard many people tell me it is notorious for the head gaskets going. I had to replace head gaskets, rad, starter relay, spark plug wires among other things. Heated seats don't work.

Great family van
Great family van, seating capacity is great and fuel consumption is great on long trips but only so-so for city, but I think that's pretty normal for a larger car.
Seats 8 comfortably and first thing to go was the breaks, but that was because I left it still for a few months in the snow.
Very decent car.

Pontiac Montana
We have 2 of these vehicles and both have been very reliable. They require little maintenance and have a smooth ride.Neither have required any major/costly repairs since purchased. Very roomy and comfortable, lots of cargo space. Rear seats can be removed easily if necessary. The only complaints are that some iof the sensors can be a little sensitive and the gas mileage is not that great. They are older vehicles, but if you keep up with the regular maintenance- they are very reliable.

Basic Van
Not fancy, very reliable. Cheap to own, very practcal.
Good for hauling kids around, very safe-good for highway travel.
This is the third one that I have owned, and I would probably get another.

Great reliable van with plenty of room for everyone
I bought this car used this year and it has been wonderful. I previously owned a town and country and while the town and country offered a smoother ride this van has been far more reliable. It has reasonable fuel economy for a larger vehicle and it seats four car seats easily. Space between the front and back seats could be greater but there is plenty of cargo space for strollers and wagons for day trips. I am very impressed with this van thus far.

Plenty of room
I've had this vehicle since new and have been happy with it. It is coming up 10 years now and other than replacing shocks and having a tune up, I've had care free driving for 230k. The one thing I really like about the vehicle is the amount of room for just about everything. I've taken it across country with the kids and it was wonderful.

It's a great vehicle
The 2003 Pontiac Montana is a great vehicle. In my experience, it is extremely comfortable, fuel efficient mini van. I have taken it on a few long distance drives and have no problems. It handles really well. I would consider buying another one.

It's a vehicle that i would purchase again
It rides like a car and it has enough room that you are not cramped. The only problem with the vehicle is the cargo space is too small. When you build the next one could you make the cargo space a little bigger so you don't have to take out the seats.
