I have had this vehicle for several month's now, and look for reasons to take it out and play. All of the ponies under the hood are married perfectly with the 6 speed tranny. I think this 3.6 really puts out like Pontiac said it would. Hope I get to keep my license for as long as I own this beauty, which I have the feeling will be a long time.

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.

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!!!!!

Love the car. Getting in and out is great, the interior is very roomy. Hate the cup holders. I dropped my keys in the open space and it took me an hour to get them out between the seat and the open space. Wish I knew something I could get to replace the cup holders.
