Best Value comes in great quality. This SUV look alike van does not have the "soccer mom" image. Roomy interior and lots of cargo space. Enough power for highway and uphill driving. Fuel economy is better than Mazda 'MPV'. Montana SV6 runs on economical unleaded gas vs Nissan 'Quest' uses only EXPESNIVE premium unleaded gas.
Very Fuel Efficient

I did a combine city/Hwy fuel economy of this van and it is extremely good. 12.1L/100KM. I am not sure what the manufacturer rating is but that is my real mileage experience. Performance is great with lost of power on hwy and uphill. Plenty of cargo space and leg room (spacious).

I have test out many different vans. This is the best I have seen both in quality, value and features. I had bad experience with Caravan and Sienna. Caravan had transmission problem and Sienna broke down after 2 years. Both are EXTREMELY POOR in quality.
Very Pleased

A problem free car and the best riding minivan on the market. What a smooth ride. The DVD player is used constantly and my kids love it. I have the 3.9 Liter engine and the acceleration and power are phenomenal.
I must have a lemon

Have owned GM vechicles for 25 years, so I bought a new SV6 in Jan '06. I started having problems within one week of purchase. Have had it for 17 months. So far has had new alternator, ignition switch, front hub, new radio, sliding door locks, many new wires, rear door handle broke on first cold day, cup holder replaced, OnStar antennae fixed, many electrical adjustments, too numerous to remember. Still only 50,000 kms and troubles still happening- a real lemon. Had difficulty finding 17 inch winter tires when purchased.

Our SV6 has room for grandkids dogs, and all supplies needed for vacation or everyday driving! The DVD with wireless head phones is a must for trips with 5, 6, + 7 year olds.

Had this van only a short time but it used with only 11K on it. Had driven a '96 Dodge Grand Caravan for the past 6 years and the Montana is a nice ride! Feels beefier and is feels roomier inside. We opted away from stow-and-go seating of the other newer vans because although they do fold away nicely- they aren't really comfortable for long trips. The Montana back seats are sturdy and comfortable and we love the cargo area very functional with the tray installed and the built-in air pump is handy. So far this gets my recommendation!

The interior design is very poor. The second row seats won't fold down because the head rests are so big they hit the front seats. Also, they don't flip up like my Chevvy Venture's seats did to make more room temporarily for cargo. They also have slippery rounded backs, so you can't carry anything on them when they are in the down position. They are too heavy for me to carry alone, whereas I could carry 2 of the Ventures seats at the same time. The third row seats are even heavier, requiring two people to move them. Further on the headrests, they are so large as to render rear vision very limited. You have to use the mirrors to back up. The dealership has been great though.
Disappointed

I really thought this would be a great family vehicle. I bought it used with only 9000 miles on it.The front end needed many things replaced. The ride....very rough in the driver seat. Rode in the back with children, it was the most uncomfortable seat I ever sat in. The bucket seats..cheap..material leaves terrible ring stains from even water....those seats were uncomfortable too. The rode noise was horrible. We always had to turn radio up or dvd player up louder to hear it. I have always been a dedicated gm buyer..........no more pontiac vehicles for me.
Ripped off

I am very disappointed in this minivan. I bought only 4 months ago, have had it in the service dept 8 times with sliding door problems, overhead console breakage, bounce in front end, starter is messing up, and got a message "service due soon". I have 1800 miles on vehicle. I got ripped off royally, being a woman they took advantage and dumped a bad car on me. I was talked into buying it before I knew it was a 2006, 2 year old van being sold as new. I was given a phony story by the salesman. I think they saw me coming with "Sucker" written on my forehead! I am thoroughly disappointed in it and the dealership attitude about it. Service dept helpful & nice, but I wish I had my Dodge van back!
Water leaks

I purchased a 2006 SV6 AWD. It was a used lease van with 12,500 miles.The dealer prepped it for sale after purchase agreement. I have been a GM owner and mechanic for 30 years.I wanted the AWD version for safety in winter. It handles,brakes and has more comfort than the Astro AWD it replaced.The 3.5liter engine power per weight ratio is too low, but the 3.9 liter has too much torque for the AWD unit! The van had a major flaw that may have been unique to this one or a problem on the assembly line.It had a chronic water leak from the wheelwells and all the seams.The rug was always wet. The dealer had to completely strip out the interior and found multiple leaks from improper sealant at all seams
Best first vehicle!

Bought my 05 Montana SV6 in late February, was put on the road in August. has been extremely reliable, i love the notifications it gives me when it needs servicing. It is the short wheel base model. FWD. I myself had put over 20,000 kms on it since its been on the road and have had minor issues.

it's not the smoothest ride but we live in Florida in the country our 2006 montana now has 200k and is still running like a tank thru mud roads it's roomie has all kinds of secret storage compartments plus power everything the only major repairs I've had to do to it is change the linkage cable the rear shocks and ignition switch granted I take care of my cars and she gets an oil change every 1500 miles I don't really go far there is rusting on the frame but all in all it has out lived 2 trucks 1 ford 1 Chevy and a BMW I think if well taken care of a Montana well give you and your family many enjoyable miles for many years to come
