I leased my 2006 on Christmas Eve 2005. I am very impressed at the amount of interior room the vehicle has. I am a tall individual so I drive with the seat all the way back and reclined. Not one complaint from passengers seated directly behind me. Reliability so far has been top notch. I like the way the dashboard is situated. Only complaint I have is, I think the manufacturer could have made the vehicle more powerful. 185 horsepower is just not enough for this sized vehicle. A sufficient amount would be about 215 horsepower.

2006 Pontiac Torrent AWD - Da' Big Hoopty.

Named by one of our Grandsons when he was 6 (now 22), we bought Da' Big Hoopty (Our Family's Term of Endearment) brand new in 2006 in Crystal Lake color with all options except the 17" Wheels, and is the best vehicle we have ever owned. Although it is about to turn 67K Miles, it is and has always been a delight to drive, whether around town, AND on trips, in total comfort. Has also proven many times to be very sure-footed in rain, ice or snow with zero issues. It's dependability has also been 100%, never once leaving us stranded. So, do we ever plan to part with (our) Da' Big Hoopty? No. Besides, it still looks and rides like a brand new vehicle because we do take very good care of it, as it should be since vehicles are just way too expensive not to do so.

The torrent has a smooth ride. The controls are easy to use. The only things that are not easy are the cup holders and ash tray. They are in an awkward position. The torrent is very comfortable on long trips. The sound system is terrific.

I must have a good one. In 4 years I haven't had any major issues. The one thing I didn't like was the standard equipment tires wore out very quickly. I was lucky to get 15,000 miles out of them. Other than that, it's been a good vehicle.

I purchased this vehicle from a family friend who runs the hummer dealership, he said even though Pontiac is out of bus, their cars are still reliable. relatively low miles when purchased, and i've had no problems with this vehicle. Just turned 18, my first car, paying for it myself. want to eventually buy a torrent GXP and bump up to a 263 hp engine. I LOVE MY TORRENT.
