At first I was leery about buying a Pontiac van. However, with all the features, the warranty, and the interior - I could just go on and on. I just couldn't resist. I had to buy it. It runs great. It has a nice smooth ride. It has great pickup and great gas mileage. I love the interior and the way the dashboard is set up. Everything is close and convenient. I have only had this vehicle for almost two years. I can't think of anything negative to say at this time. As time goes on, I'm sure problems will arise. I will have something to say, but as of right now, I have nothing but good things to say about this great van. I made a great choice by purchasing this van, and I am very happy with it.
Story
I was putting groceries in the van, and I was ready to go home. When I shut the side door and went to get in the driver's side, the driver's door was locked. I got upset, and I called my husband, and he said he would come with a spare key. Well, I waited over an hour for him to leave work and drive in traffic to come rescue me. He happened to check the passenger side door before unlocking the ... (more)
Pros
My favorite things about this vehicle are I love the smooth ride, and I love how the van hugs the road. It is a nice quiet ride. It has great pick up. I love the color package I picked out. The interior of the van is so nice and comfortable. Even though it's a good-sized van, it is still easy to maneuver and park due to the style and specifications. It is so easy getting in and out of the van and loading shopping bags in the van. There is so much room for anything I need to take home. It's just so convenient to have this van.
Cons
It would have been nice if the drivers and passengers windows came with that plastic rain guard at the top to keep the rain from coming in when you're driving. The rear window wiper could be longer to get a better swipe on the window. It also would have been nice if there was an option to get the blind spot mirror that goes on the driver's side mirror. That would have been an option that I would have purchased. I think it's a necessity with the van, because there are so many blind spots.

As someone who has owned sedans in the past, I was skeptical about the Montana SV6. However, the SV6 is one of the smoothest rides I have drove. It handles bumps and potholes like a pro. The build is pretty sound as well, having been in a hail storm once or twice, I haven't noticed any dents. It's great for hauling large items as the seats all fold down. There's also built-in storage in the back of the van that doesn't take away from cargo space. I also enjoy the media center during long road trips. It allows me to store movies and cd's, the van has a built-in DVD player. It keeps my three year old very entertained on long drives. I think the interior cloth could be better quality, it stains easily and having a small child it stains often. I do wish the electrical work was better, ther... (more)
Story
During 4th of July we took this van to the reservoir to shoot off fireworks. My son, being 3 years old, was afraid of fireworks. During the first half of lighting them off he stayed hunkered with me, his mom, in the back of the van getting eaten alive by bugs. When he finally got the courage to go out and participate he would jump out of the back of the van and help light a firework and then r... (more)
Pros
The smooth ride and power steering. The storage capacity as it has built in storage in the cargo space, the option to fold down the seats, as well as a media center in the middle aisle. The built-in DVD player is a nice feature on long road trips with small children. The highway gas mileage seems pretty good for a van of it's size, usually getting 22-24mpg. The exterior is built well. It's an affordable mini-van.
Cons
The electrical work seems like it was overlooked or poorly done. The power key entrance stopped working not long after we bought it. The power lock will lock all but one door. The sliding door sometimes does not respond to the power button option. The back windshield wiper motor went out. The in town gas mileage is poor. The interior is very poor quality and stains easily.

2002 Pontiac Montana - Very pleased and happy with this vehicle

The vehicle altogether is a great ride. The quality of the vehicle is exceptional compared to those that I have had in the past. The carpet quality has held up to almost new condition even with two children riding continuously. The van has 174K miles on it and has not caused me any real issues other than basic up keeps. I have had no issues with the radio or key electronics. There is a speaker control system for the back of the van that has never worked since we purchased it, but its never affected the van at all. It definitely doesn't have much horsepower, but it's a van!
Story
Driving it on the beach in the sand to watch fireworks with the kids! We would drive down to the Chesapeake Beach.
Pros
With 174K miles, this van runs like a gem! I haven't had to spend hardly any money into it and its never left me stranded anywhere. I can get almost 400 miles to a full tank of gas! It seats seven and has a nice area in the back for storage and racks on the top for luggage and can hold a rather large load! My kids are always falling asleep wherever we go and love how comfortable it is. The seats are electric and work great! There are 4 back windows that pop out for ventilation in the rear which is also nice. It runs great and still rides smooth. All the seats are removable so that you can ... (more)
Cons
I don't have many negative things to say about this vehicle except that the rear stereo control never worked, but again it didn't affect the van at all. Since my husband is a contractor, it doesn't exactly transport a sheet of drywall to well. The only other issue is the headlights are not very big for the van size. I would like to see these be slightly larger so that the road is a bit more visible.
