    Amazing accidentally great American car

    I leased and owned four Montana’s. The last time GM made a vehicle this good it was the Chevy Nova. Pretty obvious the pinheads at GM cancelled both the car and the brand. I drive a Toyota now. Way to go GM!

    Most reliable car I've ever owned

    This car has been excellent. Met all our family's needs from day to day to family vacations. It had held up to the test of time. We still own our 2006 Montana and drive it nearly everyday

    This is the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned!

    I happened to stumble upon this mini van after my husband totaled my SUV. It was previously in an accident and had a salvage title. It had 129,000 miles on it and because of the accident history I got it for less than $2000 (STEAL OF A DEAL!) in 2016...... And, my husband was furious!! Lol. After getting the van and dealing with his temper tantrum we both grew to love it. I've had this van for 2 1/2 years now. I've only ever had to replace the brake pads and a caliper ($150). I haven't had any trouble with anything else on the van. It starts every single time and runs so so so smooth. I love that I never have to worry about how it will drive or if it will be reliable in the wintertime. I've got the AWD version and bought all season tires last winter. Even in the worst Michigan snow storm it handles terrific. I also have 4 kids between the ages of 2 and 13. There is more than enough room for the 6 of us to fit comfortably. The DVD player makes the trips more enjoyable for the entire family. I didn't have any fold down trays in between the seats when I got the van, but I haven't missed them at all since I bought a universal console to put in between the front seats. I rate this van 10/10 and would recommend it to anyone!!!!!

    Great family vehicle. Handles very well.

    AWD will plow through snow very well. Lots of leg room and great for a family road trip. Fits a family of 4 or 5 with plenty of space for luggage or groceries.

    Love it

    Bought it brand new (base model) in 2007. It is 2016, and I have almost 300k on it. I have paid about 3k for repairs after warranty during all years, not including oil change, tires & breaks. No major repair, standard things like rear wiper, cupholder etc. If GM made them still I would've buy it again, only extended version as my family grown.

    Love my van

    I bought my van from University motor mall in Lansing, Mi. The salesman, Tod, found me a vehicle that worked for me. The price was great and the van is amazing. I would def recommend Tod to anyone looking to purchase a good vehicle.

    One of the best cars I have owned

    I purchased the car used with low mileage. The price was reasonable for the van. I never had any problems with it. It was very dependable, comfortable, and very good gas mileage. Usually about 18 mpg over-all and 25-26 on a trip. This is the second Montana I have owned and now am looking for a 2009 Pontiac Montana.

    Overall Happy

    We are no stranger to mini-vans. We have 5 young children (from 2yrs old to 10yrs), so we are rougher than the average buyer. First minivan was a Honda. Have no idea why they get the rep for quality. everything inside fell apart. Turned it in before lease was up to go to a honda pilot. Still not happy with it's quality. Next Minivan to replace the honda was a 2006 chrysler town and country. Boy, Chrylser really let it's quality go down the drain. Numerous drive train problems, numerous electrical problems, and internal plastics kept breaking. Even though it had a very low residual value, I would not buy it for fear of not having the bumper to bumper warrenty on it. I then purchased the Montana SV6 FWD used (2 years old), started with 35k on it. Had to replace the rack and pinion almost right away, and the front wheel bearings. I expect to sink $1k into any used vehicle to bring it up to snuff, and that is what it cost me. The driver side window keeps slipping off the track, and the passenger side door handle trim keeps slipping off, but I can deal with that. Now, at about 77k on it, the rack went again, and the power steering pump is starting to make noise. I'll expect another $1k worth of repairs by next year. Considering it is paid off, I don't think $2k worth of repairs total in 3 years is a bad investment. Things wear out, and this is a heavy beast. Economy is about the same as my old town and country, but it feels like a caddie inside. Rides nice and smooth, kids have lots of room, they love the dvd player and rear air. The wife is happy with it, since it feels like a SUV, and she feels very secure in it. I think I will end up keeping it for several more years. As long as you maintain this correctly, I think it is a excellent value. One word of caution. This is a front wheel drive, not all wheel drive. Get REAL snow tires if you live up north. I am from Western New York, and I got 4 blizzak tires, and it is sure-footed, and nearly unstoppable. Without them, I would not let it on the road in deep snow.
