I have a 1992 Pontiac Transsport. Despite all the dustbuster comments and the mediocre Consumer Reports reviews, I am really happy with the van and have had virtually no costs except for routine maintenance. The van has 67k miles and now I'm in the market for a new one. I really like the 34 pound seats for easy removal when I need to take them out so I am first focussing in GM minivans. Has nayone made the switch from the pre-1997 GMs to the redisgn? Any experience, comments?

Hi wlh! Welcome! Glad to see that you've joined us in the Vans conference. I'm Peggy, your host in this area. Although I don't have the personal experience that you're looking for, I'm sure that someone will come along who has. Be sure to check in for an update.

I am in the process of buying an 1997 Pontiac Transsport 4 door extended minivan. I like to hear from the current owners' comments regarding the reliability and performance. Thank you very much.

Welcome Juliuslaw! It is nice to hear such a positive comment on the '92 Transport's reliability from wlh. It would be great to find out if more recent purchasers of that van have had the same experience on good reliability and performance.

Hi everyone! I'm in the market for a mini-van and have always owned pontiac's. Can anyone tell me about the new Montana's vs the Pontiac transport. Is the only difference the all weather traction? I haven't had much of an opportunity to get feedback from other mini-van owners. I'm only 27 with a husband and 20 month old and it seems a little yuppyish but we travel to the in-laws and turning around to take care of the baby gets really old for three hours. Please give me some feed back about the pontiac transport & montana. We also are considering a Plymouth or Dodge grand caravan. Info is appreciated on any thanks Replies to this message: hbbbnme (Jun 20, 2005 5:16 pm) armes (Oct 11, 2008 5:25 pm)

We are considering the 97 or 98 Pontiac Trans Sport and would be interested to hear from any current owners. Replies to this message: richardp2 (Jul 25, 2007 1:38 pm)

Hi, I am in trying to decide between a used Pontiac TransSport and a Ford Windstar. If anyone has any opinions about how the two cars compare, I would be grateful. Reliability, comfort, power, handling, are important to me. Thanks.

My family had a Transsport for 5 years now. We travelled with two kids (now 7 and 10). The individual seats allows for real convenient seating arrangements, especially if you bring a lot of kid supplies. I would recommend the individual seat arrangement,

I'm looking at minivans now, in particular the Pontiac Transport Montana. On visuals alone, it has the best looks, Chyrslers are blobs, and the Ford is just vanilla looking. Test drove it and the Astro/Safari - what a huge difference. The Safari bounced us all over the road while the Pontiac handled the rough smoothly. I still havn't driven the Chrysler's or Ford's and would be interested in other's handling comparisons. One complaint on the Montana, why the heck do they require dark-tint windows with some options. The whole purpose of a window is to be able to see out, not feel like your inside a panel van!

I am looking at the Chevrolet counterpart, the Venture. The Venture, Oldsmobile Silouhette and the Pontiac Transport are all made at the same factory (I believe I am correct on that. Please let me know if you know different). Please realize that the 97 Transport and Silouheete are completely difference cars/vans than the year models before this. I don't think it would be wise to compare.
