Used 2006 Pontiac Torrent Consumer Reviews
2006 Pontiac Torrent AWD - Da' Big Hoopty.
Named by one of our Grandsons when he was 6 (now 22), we bought Da' Big Hoopty (Our Family's Term of Endearment) brand new in 2006 in Crystal Lake color with all options except the 17" Wheels, and is the best vehicle we have ever owned. Although it is about to turn 67K Miles, it is and has always been a delight to drive, whether around town, AND on trips, in total comfort. Has also proven many times to be very sure-footed in rain, ice or snow with zero issues. It's dependability has also been 100%, never once leaving us stranded. So, do we ever plan to part with (our) Da' Big Hoopty? No. Besides, it still looks and rides like a brand new vehicle because we do take very good care of it, as it should be since vehicles are just way too expensive not to do so.

Love this SUV
Bought in 2009 used with 60K miles. We have taken this car everywhere to include cross country. It has surpassed our expectations. We only had to replace an ignition switch early on but that's it. Rest is normal mx. The 6 CD changer and heated seats still work after a decade for us. The car has a bit of road noise but the car is great. First to offer moving back seat to accommodate whatever you are hauling.

back to GM
Just traded in 2000 MB ML320. Liked styling, financing and colors/options. A little noisy on the some back roads and my boys wish for a center arm rest in back seat. Still breaking-in so performance and mpgs still not really tested. Looking forward to lower maint. and fuel prices, and more self maint. This is my 1st GM in over six years and I'm happy so far.
Very Good SUV
Have had the car for 3+ years. No reliability issues. Still driving on the original tires, brakes and wheel bearings. Just drove from Denver to St Louis with ave mileage of 24-25 mpg. Very good in snow. Peppy around town but not as much fun to drive as my Honda Accord. Love the interior room and cargo capacity. Can haul more than a Jeep Commander.
Sporty/Fun SUV
I fell in love with the Equinox, UNTIL I drove the Torrent. We traded in the mini-van and I could not be happier. It has plenty of room in the back seat for the kids and the interior is great. I am loving this car. It's fun to drive and it looks sporty and fresh. Great vehicle!
