Worse Car Ever Owned

2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 4dr Minivan w/1SB (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

From the second day I purchased this vehicle, we have had nothing but problems. Our first year alone it was serviced 14 times. I wont even start to describe all the problems. From bumper to bumper , we have had problems. Poorest handling, poorest acceleration, when you hit a bump the doors feel like they are going to fall off. We are on our 3rd set of tires, we cannot keep an alignment on it. Unfortunately for us, we have tried to trade for another mini van of better quality, most car dealers will not accept them on trades and if they do , my kids bicycle is worth more than the van.

Better ride styling ,power ,engine. Not crazy about the 17"wheels.They do nothing but add cost to the van. Safety has been greatly improved.They deleted 8 passenger option.Very useful. Center seats do not fold as well as previous models

We enjoy the Montana SV6. We put on a lot of miles (now 117,000 miles) each year and live in a rural area of Quebec where the winters are harsh and the snow is deep. I have the extended version and have found that it has good control on the road year round. A few problems, which were limited in scope and not serious. Consisted of the following: slight rattle in dash - easily fixed, rear windshield wiper motor has given up - will need to be replaced, paint delamination next to rear center taillight - dealer will fix. I have worked inside an Asian Automotive manufacturing plant and find the quality here relatively close but the value is in the price - probably a third cheap

We went on a 4 hour trip with our 3 children and everyone was comfortable and had their own space. I love all of the features available on my Montana including the XM Satelite radio. I think it is unique looking...it has a more sporty flair than all of the other vans on the market.

Montana Van Review

The 2003 Pontiac Montana Van (long version) is a powerful V6 family vehicle. It has a very pleasing, sporty stylish exterior with all around rocker panel protection, aerodynamic body design, and heavy duty built under body. It has one of the highest gas milage ratings of all the minivans, and lives up to the rating on and off the highway. The interior design with captain chairs second row and split bench in rear is modestly roomy and functional design. The rear seat fold down and easily removable seating is a plus in design capability. There are no mechanical, electical or interior vices after 3 years of usage. The only negative aspect is the uncomfortablness of the front captain seats.
