Pontiac Montana 2003

Divertissement inclus ?

Par : Amyot Bachand

Ancestral du point de vue mécanique, mais à la page du point de vue aménagement, la Pontiac Montana tient toujours sa place au sein du marché des fourgonnettes.

Carrosserie

Disponible en deux versions, courte et allongée, et en 5 variantes, la Montana se distingue des ses jumelles et des autres fourgonnettes sur le marché par ses panneaux de polymère en bas de sa coque, trait distinctif de la marque Pontiac.

Habitacle

C'est à ce chapitre que se distingue la MontanaVision. De 6 à 8 passagers pourront y prendre place selon la version et les options d'aménagement. Sur la route la version allongée offre un meilleur confort à vide grâce évidemment à son empattement allongé. Mais une fois chargées, les deux versions ont le propre de vous assurer un confort routier agréable. Imaginez faire Montréal – Québec – Chicoutimi et même la Floride en toute quiétude, sans chicane ou si peu, les enfants écoutant leur film (DVD) et vous savourant votre musique préférée…Cela se peut : avec la MontanaVision et son système audio/vidéo avec écran rétractable et casque sans fil.

Mécanique

Ancestral, disions-nous ? Oui au niveau conception du vaillant et vénérable V6 accouplé de sa boîte automatique à 4 rapports. Toujours dans le coup et encore économe en carburant, il commence à se faire vieux.

Comportement

Tout comme le groupe motopropulseur, la suspension gagnerait à être revue pour diminuer le tangage et le rebondissement lorsque à vide et en circulation urbaine. La Montana, comme ses jumelles Venture et Silhouette, a une propension au roulis et demande qu'on ne la pousse pas dans une courbe serrée. Tout doux comme disait ma mère…

Conclusion

Encore utile, bon gagne-pain pour Pontiac et la General Motors, les fourgonnettes Montana en variante MontanaVision s'avèrent de très bons alliées en vacances et aussi au quotidien grâce à la polyvalence de leur habitacle.

Informations

Recall Number Involved: 133,221

Models Involved: LeSabre, Rendezvous, Deville, Trailblazer, Impala, Monte Carlo,
Venture, Envoy, Bravada, Aurora, Silhouette, Bonneville, Montana

Dates of Manufacture: May - July 2002

[NHTSA Recall No. 02V222/GM Recall No. 02032]

Defect: Certain passenger cars, minivans, and sport utility vehicles have an air
bag inflator on the driver's side that could fracture at a weld during a
deployment. Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants,
and the air bag cushion would not inflate fully, reducing the capability of the
bag to protect the driver.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace, if necessary, the air bag module
assembly on the driver's side. The manufacturer reported that owner notification
was expected to begin during September 2002. Owners who do not receive the free
remedy within a reasonable time should contact Buick at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac
at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at 1-800-462-8782,
Oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537, or Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737.
