If you can stomach the heavy doses of plastic trim both inside and out, the Montana offers peppy performance and comfortable passenger accommodations in a feature-laden package.
Available eight-passenger seating, folding third-row seat on extended models, optional rear parking sensors, sporty handling, available all-wheel drive, numerous optional entertainment features (MP3, DVD, XM radio).
Weak offset crash test scores, cheap interior materials, unrefined powertrain character.

Versatrak all-wheel drive is now an available option on all models as is a CD/MP3 player and XM Satellite Radio. Front and side impact airbags are now standard. Pontiac has decided not to offer separate Value and base trim levels this year; the lineup now consists of a base model and the highline MontanaVision. Note that ABS and second-row captain's chairs are now optional rather than standard on base models.
