Used 1996 Pontiac Trans Sport Consumer Reviews
1994 Transport 3.1
A wonderful mini-van to drive. Works well in cold weather and very dependable. Even thoe I average roughly 15000KM a year. Suspension is kind of weak for this van, maybe the 3.8 has a stronger suspention and better brakes. If I had to buy this mini van all over again, I would.
Put a new engine in
I purchased my van with a cracked block, I can't pass up a deal. It had the 3.8L engine which was easy to replace. Cost of replacing engine and purchasing the van was well under market thanks to my machanic brother. I went from a VW Passat to this. Practical and reasonable to maintain we even use it to tow a pop up trailer with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I'd make the same choise again it's been a good van, but their are times I miss the Passat. We now have 245000Km on it.
Pontiac 1994 Transport
This has been an excellent, very reliable family car, with reasonably good gas mileage for its size. Plenty of power. Drove it from Louisiana to Minnesota, to Canada, west across 5 provinces, and returned through Montana, through the Rockies, including very high elevations, with no problem.
transporter
excellent van ! great power out of the rock solid 3.8L V6. reconfigureable seats are good feature. kids love it. only complaint I have is gas guage is not very linier, it stays near full to 3/4 full but then drops like a rock
Love it
Purchased this vehicle 2 years ago. I have a big family and it's a great family van! Only thing is it doesn't perform too well when gas tank gets down to 1/4 tank. Have had a diagnostic done several times and everyone says there's nothing wrong. Love all the space when seats are removed. Very dependable. No problems starting in cold weather. Love the automatic side door. Two-year daughter was able to get van (while running) in drive without applying brake first. Gas mileage could be better. Do not regret decision to buy. Would buy again. My husband keeps saying he's going to get rid of it so he can buy another vehicle. I won't let him.
