A Perfect Fit for Our Family

Our second leased Montana. The last, a '99, had some problems with the power sliding door but was otherwise well- designed and very convenient. Our new '03 keeps the convenience and builds on it with new features and very impressive fit & finish. This van seems tighter and very responsive. (My 16-year old son drove it and pronounced it "Cool!" -- not the usual teenage response to a minivan.) The remote lock/power door is a great feature if your hands are full of stuff to put into the car or if you're ferrying kids or grandparents who might otherwise fumble with a sliding door.

I'm not sure what the other reviews are talking about, but I love this van! It is beautiful and stylish, and the amenities are awesome. Great ride, very comfortable back seat, etc.

Do not feel like I am in a minivan in this thing. Second Montana we own. Went with Thunder package and is worth it. AWD was unbelievably solid on recent icy roads we had. DVD sound is awesome.

At 36,700 miles had to replace the manifold intake gasket. Had to fight with GM to get them to pay for the 1,000 dollar repair. At 37,400 had to replace a head gasket. GM automatically paid for this expensive repair. I was hoping to pay it off and drive it for many years but I think I might have to trade it in on a toyota or honda. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE. DO NOT BUY A MONTANA MINI-VAN.

Ours is a 2001, has 22000 miles on it. What has gone wrong? Where do I begin. The oil pan leaked and needed repair after 4500 miles; the power slider was recalled - "repaired" and then had to be repaired again at 6000 miles; the engine leaked antifreeze around 9000, needing new hoses; the transmission overheated while towing an ALUMINUM fishing boat (oh yeah, we have the "towing" package), and the thing squeaks and rattles so bad we sometimes think some of the structural welds have failed. We will never return to a GM minivan. The Odyssey or new Quest look good for us.
