2004 Pontiac Montana LX review from North America
"I love this van, very nice looking and runs well."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Changed Tires at 80,000 KMS and van was not even 2 years old.
Plastic side panels squeak.
Transmission seems to be slipping - it only happens slightly when the van is accelerating at low speeds after van has sat over night.
Drivers window button for passengers window doesn't work well - its hit or miss.
General comments?
The van has good acceleration and drives like a car.
Seats are very comfortable for long trips. (Like our Edmonton to New York Trip - 10,000kms in 12 days!) The DVD came in handy then!
Lots of room in the back for people and cargo. Love the 3rd row fold down seat for more cargo room.
Reliable van, gets you where you need to go and back.
Overall, the van has treated us well, so far. I hope we don't have problems with the head gasket, as it seems to be a hot button issue! Nothing yet, but I will definitely keep an eye on it.
