2002 Pontiac Montana Sport 3.4 SFI from North America
Faults:
35000kms rear wiper motor died.
Annoying thud from rear of vehicle when stopping or accelerating.
Trim around front windshield poorly made, keeps popping up. Had in to dealer once to fix the problem, but it came back up within one week.
The engine is thankfully free of the dreaded intake gasket problem, however I changed the dexcool at 45000kms as it was cooked.
General Comments:
Nice family van, very comfortable.
Passes well on the highway, gas mileage is good too.
No major problems yet, I drive about 80kms to work one way.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I had a 2003 Dodge Caravan, really its not that great.
Had to have the trans replaced at least twice in the first six months of ownership. The first tranny only 36kms after delivery. That and the fit and finish in side is horrible. the main plastic around the Cd/hvac controls keeps falling off, its held on by 5 little plastic clips. Last, but not least is the engine, when you try and step on the gas to pass a truck on the highway, Don't! you will never make it. Its as if you were driving in a 1970 VW Beetle. Extremely under powered on the torque side. Plain and simple, Dodge is still the worst even though people think its great since they merged with Mercedes.
