2003 Pontiac Montana Review
Price Estimate: $951 - $1,511

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Available eight-passenger seating, folding third-row seat (extended-length models), optional rear parking aid sensor, spunky V6, sporty handling, available all-wheel drive, optional DVD video player.
Cons
- Weak offset crash test scores, cheap interior materials, unrefined powertrain character.
What’s new
The Montana gets only a few minor upgrades for 2003. The most notable change is the addition of an extended-length version of the Special Value van with a 60/40-split bench second-row seat as standard. More available free flow options also give the Value van a greater range of equipment.
Edmunds says
If you can stomach the heavy doses of plastic trim both inside and out, the Montana offers peppy performance and comfortable passenger accommodations in a feature-laden package.

We love our Montana Mini Van

2003 Pontiac Montana MontanaVision Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
We bought our Montana minivan new in 2003.
It is now 2013 and we're putting it up for sale.
It has 260,000 miles on it and has been the best reliable vehicle we've ever bought.
The only thing we had to replace was two hub assemblies and the alternator just went out last week.
260,000 miles on the same alternator.. Unheard of.. Just crazy.
We've been from New York to Texas to Florida and … all parts in between.
It's been a great family car.
Thank you GM for making a reliable vehicle.
It's been a great ride:)
Great Van

2003 Pontiac Montana Value Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
The best used car.. We bought this car used with 90k+ miles on it. Now it is 140k++. And its still
running fine, without any issues. Just oil changes and brakepad changes. Very stable car and great pickup. Hwy
MPG can go as high as 27-28, better than any sedan of the same time frame. Excellent car.
Not bad for a van

2003 Pontiac Montana Value Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Not a bad van. It's good on fuel, change oil every 5000 or so, and a tuneup 120,000 km runs great. I drive this 4 hour round trip. The inside is good to lots space for what I need it for and the kid's like for the dvd part.
