Absolutely horrible and because you now must deal with GM they don't want to recall these vehicles because that would cause them to fix a problem that Pontiac created.I have owned one for almost 2 years and I have had nothing but problems,within a month of owning it the radio didn't work, the lock on the drivers door costs 300 to fix because unless you actually try to open it while it is locked you would of never known it doesn't lock, the rear windshield wiper motor went, the wheel bearings are 300 a piece, and because of how they are made it is common for rocks and sticks to get into the cv shaft and cause 200 in damage.Stabilitrak & ABS light constantly on & off.

This vehicle is fun to drive for my wife, much easier than our previous '03 Explorer. Great ride. The only complaint is the short turning radius.
Beautiful car

2008 Pontiac Torrent GXP 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I bought it with 82,000 on it. I love the looks, how it rides, plenty of power, and comfort. Had it a year now and its been a huge headache. December I put a transmission in it that cost me $3000 dollars being AWD. Had some hiccups for a short time after with check engine lights and ended up changing the battery and all was good till now. Took it to the dealership about a month ago and with a crank sensor being bad.... now all kinds of issues are coming up and the dealership has officially given up on it with no explanation. JUNK!!!!!

Every Torrent owner I have talked to really likes their vehicle. This GXP is really fast and handles like a sports car. It is so neutral in the corners. When you expect the front end to push, it just digs in & goes round. I am at over 22 mpg now. It has great utility to boot. If you are looking for a vehicle like this, you really owe it to yourself to give it a try. I know of Honda owners who don't get but a 1mpg more in their smaller CR-V and no fun factor at all. Even Scions only get about 23.5 & are slower than molasses.
Never buy a GM vehicle again!

Has same issue with the blend door actuator as the 06 model for which there is a recall. GM won't do anything for the same issue in the 08. My son is n active duty member of the US Army and can not afford the over $1000.00 repair Bill. Ridiculous!!
