I totally enjoy driving this car. I had no problem making the change from a car. The torrent gives you a very secure ride, and handles like a dream

So I had a Honda Civic and was forced to get rid of it for an SUV, not happy to begin with. Now I have 45K and my windshield has a 3+ crack that started from the right lower seal! Nothing hit my car. Now it's in my face. My rotors thump and my car won't crank over sometimes. I live in a snowy area and have driven it in the snow but never ever saw the AWD light kick on. It used to shift rough but now it's OK. I guess it was just because it was new. It's OK though, not happy with it but love the sunroof and definitely the stereo and sound system

I love my new 2006 Torrent. I wish there wre more colors available though. The purple haze almost looks brown in the light instead of purple. We chose the blue metalliac streak. Awesome color. My Torrent handles very well, and the amenities are too many to count. My Dad now has lots of leg room in the back seat. Very stylish. We just love it.

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!

I like the vehicle. I traded in a 2004 Vibe GT. I wasn't expecting handling like the Vibe, but the Torrent rides firm, corners well, and has good performance. I get 21 mpg overall but recently took a 600 mile road trip; 5 people and luggage and got 25 mpg. I could not fit 5 in the Vibe. The steering is a little light at low speeds. I'd like to see GM put their 3.9 litre in this vehicle
