Review

The torrent has a smooth ride. The controls are easy to use. The only things that are not easy are the cup holders and ash tray. They are in an awkward position. The torrent is very comfortable on long trips. The sound system is terrific.

Review

Until Torrent came along I was not satisfied with any small suv. They were either sluggish 4-cylinders, too small, had poor gas mileage, or were too plain on the inside (Equinox/CRV). This one had everything I was looking for and more. I commute more than 80 miles per day and I love every minute of the drive. I test drove the base model and steering felt awkward. I purchased the top of the line model and steering is much tighter.

Favorite Features

Leather trim with heated seats, side curtain air bags, large space under flip console for storing purse, roomy backseat, head room, 22 mpg average fuel economy, folding rear and front passenger seat

Suggested Improvements

Clearer speedometer readings, gas tank on driver's side of the car rather than passenger.

Review

Great daily drive. Didn't even know Pontiac had a small suv, went to get an Envoy. Very nice ride most people think it is an import suv. Real nice ride, very agile.

Favorite Features

The suspension and power it has.

Suggested Improvements

Move the window switches, in a different location than any other car I have owned.

Review

Very nice fit and finish and exceptional features for money. Handles freeway and in-town driving very well smooths out the bumps in Southern California freeways. Comfortable seats (couldn't believe they were in a GM product), very good ergonomics and a loud sound system to boot. Bravo GM, you have a repeat customer in me and won my wife away from buying another Toyota.

Favorite Features

Great looks, styled much like the BMW X5.

Suggested Improvements

Better mileage. - GM could have added Displacement On Demand to this vehicle and improved FWY economy by 10-15%. Optional navigation system. Quieter exhaust note under exceleration, this is not a GTO and does not need to sound like one.

The torrent is great for Canadian winters. It has no difficulty with snowy or icy streets while at the same time providing a comfortable car- like ride.

Review

I have driven my Torrent up to 9950' in Rocky Mountain National Park partially on ice and snow. The AWD worked great with no slips or skids! The transmission worked fine ascending and descending the steep mountain roads. It was fun motoring up and down the tight roads with a positive feel of the road in such a nicely equipped SUV.(It operates fine here on the level in town, too.) I now have 2500 miles on my Torrent with no problems.

Favorite Features

Overall versitility, roomy rear seat, comfortable drivers seat, sun roof, XM radio, OnStar, positive handling, good visability.

Suggested Improvements

Rear wiper switch is hard to locate and operate. Center console is awkward to gain access, and space underneath is wasted. Clock and radio displays are too small.

06 Torrent AWD

Review

Overall impression: Rides excellent, feels closer to a sedan than to a truck . Handles suprisingly well for an SUV but is still a 3700 pound vehicle so it's no sports car. One of the best looking SUVs on the road in my opinion, similar to a Lexus RX330 (but not as smooth as the Nissan Murano). It would be nice to see a sporty version with a bigger engine and dual exhaust but overall this is a great value SUV.

Favorite Features

Beautiful exterior design, sharp interior, easy package options and pricing plans, rides like a car with sporty characteristics, seamless AWD.

Suggested Improvements

Plastic door trim feels cheap, could use 20 more HP, not too different than Equinox sister.

This really puts the ball in the opponents court. This vehicle has been very reliable and has been nothing short of what I need in a family vehicle.
