Great vehicle
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.
My Sporty SUV
We've owned many Pontiacs over the years and this one stacks up as another winner for us. I like the feeling of sitting higher up being a shorter person. The interior is roomy with a quiet ride even with the 17" optional wheels. The only thing I would change is the steering. It takes more turns of the wheel to pull into a parking spot, yet on the road it feels fine. The Chevy version is ok but if you want people to notice what you're driving, this sporty Pontiac is the way to go!

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!
Fun to drive
I maybe shouldn't write about the torrent yet bacause I only have a 100 miles on it but my wife and I really love this car. We came from having a BMW 330I which be both felt was a cramps car after awhile so now having the Torrent we both feel that it has so much room inside and places to store things. We live in CA. not that it gets that cold but the heated seats are really great at times. Power seems to be fine and comfort is great too. One other thing that's great about this car is there's not a million others of these on the road.
New Buyer
I just purchased my Torrent 5 days ago. I have had prior Pontiac vehicles, and so far, so good. I do notice more wind noise with the sunroof. I don't know if it's the pop-up wind deflector or the roof rails that I hear the wind noise from. I also agree that the steering feels "loose" and slow to respond. But I'm also used to a Grand Prix GT ! Well, here's hoping that GM is in the market with the oversees competitors.
