Used 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6 Minivan Consumer Reviews
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.

mud tank
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
