Montana Taxi
I bought the Pontiac Montana Ext. AWD used back in Feb of 07 with 52,345 mi and using it as a taxi. I've had great luck with the Montana and never had any major problems with it except normal ware and tear. It runs constantly for 24 hous a day. It now has 159,789 mi on it and runs like brand new. It has plenty of room and is very very comfortable for seating of 6. The AWD system is exceptional.It goes through anything. If anyone needs to by a mini van, this is the one to buy! I would buy another one in a heartbeat with no question.
Will never buy it again
We drive a lot and buy a new vehicle every three years. Own this van for more than two years. Went through three major repairs: engine head gasket, cooliing system(Condensor) and now ABS module. Each repair costs more than thousand dollar. So what ever GM rebate is, don't be lured to think to buy it, because eventually you will use the saving from rebate to pay for the repair.

Feed up with GM lack of quality
GM builds crap and wonders why they have problems. Our van has been in the shop way too much for big items. The van has 87,000 miles on it and we have to replace the whole gasket system and front wheel hub at 65,000 miles ($1,600 fix). The battery has gone bad twice. The DVD player barely works and the heated seats have been replaced twice and continue to short out. Now the Fuel pump has gone bad at 87,000 miles another $1,000 fix. This makes the little items like rubber stripping on the sliding doors falling off way to annoying. Do not buy GM you will regret it.
Rust, Rust, Rust!!!!
This vehicle has turned into a rust bucket. It started with the rocker panels on both sided from wheel to wheel where rust was eating away. I spent $1,000 to have them replaced at a nearby body shop. Next, the windshield cracked. The folks replacing my windshield said it cracked due to the frame rusting and bubbling, creating pressure on the windshield and cracking it. When I steam cleaned the carpet, rust comes up through the floor of the van. I'm all for buying American made products, but after spending over $33,000 on this vehicle, I just can not afford to go out and buy another Pontiac. I'll look elsewhere.
Great for the Family
We made a trip to DC in December and it was a wonderful experience. Our kids were content the entire drive. I loved the amount of options that this vehicle has. The ride and feel of the vehicle was confortable and crisp. The gas mileage was as good as the mileage we got in our '99 Bravada and this is a bigger vehicle. I drove this vehicle all winter and NEVER felt it slip or mishandle. I swapped the tires that came on the vehicle for Goodyear tires. They are fantastic! Ricardo Leamon of Cleveland Heights Motorcars did an outstanding job of finding just the vehicle we wanted. I could not be happier with my Montana.
