Pontiac Montana. Do you LOVE it ?

by **Guest** on Sat Jul 17, 2010 8:30 pm

Our family is quickly expanding and we like the pontiac montana. However, we have read reviews online and from what we've read they arent good vans. The one we are looking at is a 2007, fully loaded. Reasonable price, under 13,000 and has 70,000 kms.

Whats your take on this ? Advice ? Pros, Cons ?

TIA

I have driven them for 10 yrs and I love them.Hmm but I just bought a 2004 and hmm it is having abs issues, grrrr..
I think 13,000 is a tad high.....
But I do like them... nice ride... lots of space... not sooo van looking IMO. :-D

I like the minivan/SUV-ish look of them.
My girlfriend has one, got it new a few years ago for around 14 I think. Has had no problems with it, loves it, and it's sportier looking than your typical minivan.

I drive a 2001 and LOVE it. It has all the luxuries like dvd, leather, power sliding doors, heated seats and extended length. It is super comfy, lots of room and super easy to drive/park. It has needed some work, but it is older. We had the head gasket go and that was costly, but the other stuff is pretty regular with any vehicle. It also has a clunky tranny after long drives that always worries me but the mehanics always say they just have clunky trannies and nothing is wrong. anyways, I have been looking and looking to get something newer, but nothing compares to my montana

We have the Chevy Uplander- which is the same van- different name. We love our van. My hubby likes that it doesn't look like a van, and the options that it has are great. We just put over 8,000 km on it with the road trip we just took, and it was just great. The kids of course love the dvd player, and it's roomy enough that we didn't need a carrier on top, we simply took a seat out during the trip.

Ours is a 2008, and we're totally happy that we made the decision to purchase it!

2004 here and I certainly like it. We have an Isuzzu Trooper also which I like for different reasons, but mainly always use the Montana when i have DD as it is soo much more convenient and drives quite nicely.
