2002 Pontiac Montana standard review from North America
"An overall reliable van with some minor problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There are some minor quality issues such as the vinyl trim around the windshield coming loose, rust at the bottom of the vehicle where the sliding doors are, cheap plastic dashboard parts etc...
A major problem on these vans is the factory installed XP 2000 GENERALS. Stay away from these tires. Go look for yourself before you buy at a used dealership - most of these tires split on the side walls down to the kevlar within 40,000Kms. This should be a recall by the manufacturer! Insist on different tires before purchase!
General comments?
The motor has excellent performance.
The van has been reliable so far.
It's a comfortable good looking mini van.
It has better gas mileage than most mini vans.
