| I am considering a used 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Montana with all the bells and whisles.I want to get an Edmunds report on it, but the years only go up to 1997. What should I do? | |

The 97s are the same as the 98s except for new side air bags and and improved back seat design. You can also check out other sites: www.intellichoice.com carpoint.msn.com www.autosite.com www.consumerreports.org Good luck. (Rebates on TransSport are now up to $1500!) wes |

TO ALL 1998 PONTIAC TRANS SPORT OWNERS RECALL!! I just received a recall notice for my 1998 Trans Sport, problems with transmission. It may not be in park even if it indicates it on the shift. I also read that GM is recalling the Venture and Silhouette for seat problems(Pontiac was not mentioned). However, I will follow up to find out why Pontiac seats were not included. Has anyone else received a recall notice pls let me know! |

| I'm considering the GM and Ford minivans. Both have good features. The Ford 3.8l engine seems smoother and more responsive than the GM 3.4 and the fronts seats of the Windstar are more comfortable. The Venture's front seats seem a bit short. Are the front seats in the Trans Sport the same as the Venture? I haven't had time to test one out yet. The Venture has many features that I like as well.

Does anyone have the 8 passenger seating? If so do you like it or would the split bench middle seats be okay? We have 4 kids and always seem to have a handful more with our group. The availability of the 8 passenger is really poor now with the strike and some of the dealers in the area have the split bench or captains chairs but not the 8 passenger models.. Do I wait until the strike is over and order the 8 passenger or just jump for what is out there now? The transmission went out in the Grand Caravan for the third time outside of warranty (of course), so I would like to jump quickly.Does anyone know how the strike i |

I have the 8 passanger seating (in a trans sport). We will be a family of four in another few months, and know many other family of fours, so the 8 seats works out well for 2 family events. With your normal 'payload' of 6, it may not be as big a deal. I do like the center buckets because they are so easy to remove and handle once they are out. It does not take me more then 10 seconds from the time to open the door until the time the seat is out of the van. The one minor downside I have experienced with the center buckets is the seat belt buckles are buried kinda deep in the seat and are hard to buckle (at least with a booster seat in them). |

| I boingys around the road and it 's UGLY!!! Get the Silhouette! | |

2345, Thanks for info, just to let you know my van checked out ok in regards to recall. However, they replaced my master cylinder. My brake peddle was going all the way to the floor. I have only 2,900 miles on my van. The dealer said that the part was defected from the factory. It's a good thing the the part was available. The strike is starting to take effect regarding parts for GM cars. |

| We're thinking about buying the '98 Trans Sport Montana. Does anybody have any opinions good our bad about htis model? | |
