Excellent SUV - Fun to drive

Excellent SUV! Drives well and looks great. Gas mileage is decent, with the engine offering plenty of power and pep. I'm 6'2", and I find the seats very comfortable with plenty of legroom. My Torrent has the "Crystal Lake" paint color, which sometimes looks blue, sometimes green, sometimes purple! GM has definitely improved on their interiors with this car

I fell in love with this car when I first saw it. It had so many great features on the interior (heated seats, dark fabric, easy wheel mounted controls, temp. display etc...). I drove the car off the lot, and 7 days later the check if engine light was on. After numerous "smaller repairs" I noticed a rattling sound and brought it in...the engine needed to be taken out to replace a loose cap inside of it ($3,500) luckily it was covered by warranty. I absolutely love this car, but it is so unreliable I am trading it in after 6 months. Now I am also out the $700 I paid for snow tires because of the extended rim size uncommon to other vehicles.

I love my car. Looks good-sporty-but I have named her Christine. A lot of little problems from sensors that would not allow me to put gas in my car (really!) to a freaked out blower motor that would not turn off. (twice) This summer vacationing at the beach, I was caught in a torrential rainstorm. Noticed a horrible wet smell the next couple of days. Yesterday took Christine to get her washed and water came through the dome lights. From the gearshift. And into the floorboard. Warranty gone! What do I do other than be thankful for the drought in my state.

I've only owned foreign-made cars for the past 20 years, because I felt the domestic vehicles weren't up to overseas standards. This new Torrent has changed my mind: it's a great car, and I just enjoy so very much driving it! In fact, my wife and I argue constantly about who's going to drive. The luggage room is fine, and I just like the feel of being high off the road, with good visibility all around.
