First van

This is the first time I've owned a van and I love it. The handling and performance is much better than the other brands I tested. The Chrysler version worked too hard to shift and was not comfortable even though it had more features. It is so much easier to get in and out of than a low car. Visibility is improved because of the higher profile, especially for night time driving. I am concerned about the handling in winter driving as this one is not equipped with the traction control.

Montana Vans are worth the money

This has been a reliable van. We have not had any trouble with it mechanically or with things breaking off such as knobs, etc. We are in our van almost as much as our house. We are a family of six involved in soccer, baseball, school activities, etc. We have put a lot of miles on this vehicle and it is in great shape.

All and all a good van so far (21,000 miles). Need a few changes in the design. First the windsheild wipers suck. Snow and ice accumulate where they are suppose to go down under the hood. Second:the heating system for the second row of seats is not good. If your third row is folded and tipped the 2nd row doesn't get much heat. The dome light blinds the person driving when turned on. Rear wiper is great especially when you live on gravel, but they need to move the washer sprayer to the center of the window and make it an actual sprayer. Now it just runs out.

This stopped me from ever trusting GM

I've owned it for 3 months and the intake gasket was done when I bought it but now it's my problem. Head gasket just went and I pretty sure it's going for scrap, as I'm not rich! I had better luck with my rusty 91 Astro. All it needed was a y pipe. I would have been better to go with a Ford Taurus wagon for the family, oh well live and learn. I always wanted a Pontiac ever since I was little cause I new they were built better and stronger than GM but now they're garbage and I will never buy Chevy or Pontiac again!

I like this car very comfortable and convenient. It fits all the kids and dogs without a problem. I have found out however lots of mechanical problems with the Engine after lots of $$$$ and many days in the shop just after the warranty expiration I have decided to dump it and go back to gas guzzling SUV's.
