Happy with the purchase of my 2008 GXP over all. My wife tells me it's good for grocery shopping. Its comfortable to drive and has a good driving height for visibility. No problems driving in rain. Nice looking vehicle. Lots of room to carry all our stuff.
Locked up steering and ignition

This car has locked up 8 times on us since we bought it in April 2008 I have been told that's the way there designed and that's normal for torrents.

If you're looking for a car that needs a new motor after 240k, then this one's for you! But don't think that a new motor will do you any good. If anything, you'll just be wasting thousands of $$ for a heap of junk that will leave you dead in the middle of an intersection. I had my motor replaced at 240,000km because it just died one morning and never started again. The motor that was put in ($3,700) had under 100,000km, and lasted me 6 months before it died on me in the middle of a highway intersection. The check engine light came on, the car DIED, and all of the lights started flashing: service stabilitrak, low oil, no engine power, no fuel, no abs. If you can think it, the warning sign came up for it. Codes showed up for Throttle Position Sensor, Knock Sensors, Crank Position Sensor We towed it home, replaced all of the sensors and a whole new Throttle Body. Drove the car for half an hour, and it died again. Not accelerating, not driving, and throwing all of the codes for the sensors we JUST REPLACED. The car would turn back on, but wouldn't drive for more than a few feet before dying again. I have no more savings to get this car back up and running and no local shops have a clue in hell what could be wrong with it. I have 2 young children who can't get to school now. I've been without a vehicle for 5 weeks and I have no options. Awesome. I don't understand why there isn't a recall on this vehicle - the amount of people who seem to have experience the same issues is almost comical.
