Awesome leg room in the front and back seats. Comfortable ride. Excellent power and fuel economy. No problems. Reliable and fun to drive. I've owned GM vehicles for years and this is the best one yet.

I purchased this Crossover vehicle last February. I have been very happy. It is very fun to drive has a lot of power. Almost as much as my 2000 Grand Am which I loved!! I have only one complaint in design. I am about 5'8" but when i have to clean snow off the windshield, the way the windshield is kinda of recessed its hard to get the snow off the windshield. I love the self dimming mirrors, I got my car at night and when I was driving home from the dealer I discovered these. Nice stereo system I have the 6 cd changer. I get more compliments on the color of my Torrent, I have the Crystal Lake color. All in all I love my Torrent!!

I missed a stop sign, hopped over some water,went downward to the landing of a grass field, hit some little trees and still was able to drive it home. I never crashed before by the landing was like a Cushion. I love my Torrent!

I've had the car for about 6 months. I loved it at first, put 3000 miles on it in two weeks on a trip to florida. The car was tight at first, but is turning into a rattletrap. I have 10,000 miles on it and cannot get rid of the noises despite numerous trips to the dealer.

Until now, I had been very happy with my Torrent which I had purchased less than a year ago. Although, my recent experience has left me terrified of the vehicle. I been driving for four hours in the middle of the summer when without any warning whatsoever my car had died. I lost all steering and veered to the side of the road. A bad alternator had caused the car to die. Because of this, the power lock doors and windows would not open. I was trapped inside my Pontiac Torrent midsummer in 37 degree Celsius sun unable to open any doors or windows. I had learned the hard way there is no emergency release within the vehicle to unlock the doors and car windows.
