Cold --- even in a mild climate, you freeze if the temp gets below 10. Windows frost over at any temp below 40, defrost doesn't help. Why RED dash display?? We've known since 1970 when watches with red led displays came out... YOU CAN'T SEE RED LED DISPLAYS IN SUNLIGHT!.... RED DISPLAY IS USELESS IN SUN LIGHT. Seats do not fold out of the way. Front windshield needs to be made thicker, first hit with a peace of flying gravel, good buy window. Headgasket leaks, wheel bearing out at 80000 miles. I would expect this from a CHRYSLER product. And not last or least.... what it the engine thermostat doing imbeeded so far down in the engine it takes 3 hours repair time and a $250.00 bill to replace it?

The price is very affordable, the insurance is great also. It's great on gas. My children love it, my 3 year old gets in and out herself, the power slider door is wonderful when dropping off or picking up at school, no need to get out anymore. I love driving it.. it sure beats the suv I used to drive... so take it for a test drive... just make sure you get a sales persons that's right for you, and take the time and check out the dealership first.. ask around if anyone has dealt with that dealership. (I had a bad experience)

The 2003 Pontiac Montana Van (long version) is a powerful V6 family vehicle. It has a very pleasing, sporty stylish exterior with all around rocker panel protection, aerodynamic body design, and heavy duty built under body. It has one of the highest gas milage ratings of all the minivans, and lives up to the rating on and off the highway. The interior design with captain chairs second row and split bench in rear is modestly roomy and functional design. The rear seat fold down and easily removable seating is a plus in design capability. There are no mechanical, electical or interior vices after 3 years of usage. The only negative aspect is the uncomfortablness of the front captain seats.

I knew as soon as I saw this coming
attraction that I would have to hold
off purchasing a new minivan until it
arrived. I bought a Montana in 98 and
knew that I didn't want another minivan
unless it was another Montana. I was
not disappointed by the look and style -
It's the only truly sporty minivan as
far as I'm concerned. I didn't plan on
buying leather this time but I felt the
cloth interior just looked too cheap.
It seems to handle fine but even though
the engine is 3.5 instead of 3.4, I'm
not convinced it performs better than
my old one.
There are little things I miss such
as a light in the glove compartment,
aux pwr outlet up front, dash space,
reclining rear seats, see below

I just bought a new Montana and would
not buy anything else. The ease the
handling and the style of the montana
compare to no other min van
classification. To top it off all the
repair bills I had on the other one was
oil changes no major repairs that is
reliability. Thanks Pontiac for making
such a great car!

We went on a 4 hour trip with our 3
children and everyone was comfortable
and had their own space. I love all of
the features available on my Montana
including the XM Satelite radio. I
think it is unique looking...it has a
more sporty flair than all of the other
vans on the market.

COULD HAVE USED MORE SOUND DAMPERING

This is my first mini van and I
absolutely love it. We have taken it on
several long distance road trips and
the comfort and accessibility to the
second and third rows is wonderful. I
don't know who enjoys driving it more,
me or my husband! It is very
comfortable.
