1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Montana- Extended review from North America
"The BEST minivan on the market!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have had to change the intake manifold (common with this vehicle).
Changed the water pump at 103,000.
Traction control is acting up, but does not affect driving or handling of vehicle, only when rolling from a parked position do I need to give it a little gas to kick off the traction control.
Volume control on radio screwed up, must use steering wheel control. Also cannot read radio screen from time to time, especially when hot.
The marker lights getting constant condesation and blowing out bulbs!
General comments?
The best minivan out there!! Have been on numerous cross-country trips with this van and was so comfortable.
Has air level/ air ride feature which makes it ride like a Cadillac.
Built in air pump and hose accessory makes filling tires/ balls/ beach toys really easy and conveinent!
Take care of the van and it will happily take car of you and your family!
