Love it--had problems

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.

So far so good

I've had my Torrent for a week. I love it! Sure, it's not a Lexus or Infiniti, but it is good value for the money. I happen to like the seats. They're firm, and they don't catch me under the knees like most car seats do. There is very little noise filtering in while on the highway. The back seat legroom is fantastic, as is entry/exit. And if you lower the back seat, you have tons of room. I think GM worked out some of the bugs from the Equinox and has a winner with the Torrent. There are a few things I don't care for, but just about every car has those things we don't like. I'd recommend it to anyone!

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.
