2003 Pontiac Montana Consumer Reviews

Satisfying to own

Vehicle

2003 Pontiac Montana Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

Review

We've had a good ownership experience with our Montana. It's been quite reliable, with few major breakdowns in our eight years of ownership. While the vehicle isn't luxuriously equipped, it is comfortably appointed and feels luxurious in a Pontiacian sort of way. Haling the seats in and out is a pain...even worse than the Pontiac TransPort we had before it...but it has been one of the more satisfying cars I've owned.

AVOID!

Vehicle

2003 Pontiac Montana AWD 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Bought the AWD because we were moving out to the country. It was a company lease return, impeccably maintained. As soon as the warranty expired, we IMMEDIATELY suffered the infamous GMC intake manifold gasket debaucle. Since then, nothing but problems, mostly with the wheel hubs, bearings, and ABS/AWD sensors. Turns out a vehicle named "MONTANA" with AWD can't handle a bumpy gravel road. Worst vehicle we've ever owned... period.

Not bad for a van

Vehicle

2003 Pontiac Montana Value Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Not a bad van. It's good on fuel, change oil every 5000 or so, and a tuneup 120,000 km runs great. I drive this 4 hour round trip. The inside is good to lots space for what I need it for and the kid's like for the dvd part.

If You Think So

Vehicle

2003 Pontiac Montana Value Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I think they tried to lure people in with the looks of the van more than the quality of it. This vehicle has never been wrecked. Yet a lot of the seams don't match or some are wider than others. Real poor quality control I would say. Sliding door hits the the driver door. You have to open the driver door so you can shut the sliding door. I haven't owned this vehicle very long so I can't say about the long term. If you buy one look at all the seams of the vehicle. With gas prices going up the fuel effeciency is fading fast on this one. It does ride smooth however.

2003 Pontiac Montana

Vehicle

2003 Pontiac Montana Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I have had my montana for almost 3 years and now have 70,000 miles on it. I have not had any trouble with my van.It handles and runs great. I just wish it had a built in DVD center. I have rear air and rear audio controls which has been a lifesaver for me and the kids on long trips. The kids love the van. I like it too just wish it had better gas mileage. From the sounds of some reviews I am lucky. Also it would be nice if there were more cupholders

Review

As much as I didn't want to get a van, I finally got a Montana. Wow, am I happy I did. Not only is this van extremely versatile, but the fuel mileage is fantastic.

Excellent

Review

This is my first van. I usually had trucks and am so impressed with this car that I would buy another one. I can haul my pets and the animals that I rescue in comfort and I have plenty of space.

First Purchase of GMC Vehicle

Vehicle

2003 Pontiac Montana Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

Review

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.
