My wife was bent on buying one of these things from the first time she saw one on "Survivor." I was wary, partly because I wasn't thrilled about getting an SUV, and partly because I'm wary of purchasing anything else from GM (or any American auto maker, for that matter). To be honest, I must admit that I'm pleasantly surprised. The ride is comfortable. and it drives quite nicely. The sound system is more than adequate, and we love the sun-roof and leather heated seats. It doesn't feel top-heavy when rounding corners, and rides more like a car than a truck. We've had no problems thus far. And for the record, I don't ever like admitting when I'm wrong. But this was a good choice.

Last winter the heater blend door and actuator broke. $1300- the entire dash has to be removed to fix a $60 part. Leather seat has split. Front right wheel bearing needs replacing.

I have a 2006 AWD Pontiac Torrant SUV. I purchased the Torrant in 2006 with 11000 miles on it. It was a loaner car. Love the Torrant when it's not in the shop. I have only had two problems with it. Right from the start the AC would quit working I live in the south so AC is a must. Had the Torrant to my dealer several times & another and they couldn't find anything wrong. Finally after they replaced parts and worked on several things they thought it was fixed. Well it's still not from time to time. Now Torrant is in the shop again. The suv just quits while I am driving. My dealership is great & really trying to repair. Defective code B2105 com lost with ECM BCM to PCM still problem.

My husband and I purchased our first SUV this past summer, and I chose the Pontiac Torrent. I love this SUV. There is so much room. I have a 6'2" husband and a 6'1" 17 yr old son. This is the reason why I chose the Torrent, the room, great gas mileage, and a reasonable price.

I have had a Torrent for the past 11 months. After driving a Montana Mini van for five years, I found the interior room of the Torrent much smaller, with the floor gear shift lever taking up too much room, especially for the right front passenger. There is not enough leg room for stretching out, even with either front seat all the way back. The exterior gives the impression of a "big" SUV, but the interior does not. The motor is sufficient, but lacks the get up I was use to in the Montana. So far it has been a reliable vehicle, and should remain that way for years to come. It has a comfortable but noisy ride, mostly from the tires. The AWD is great in snow when driven with care.
