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.
best for the money

I have been a sedan or coupe driver all my life, I also build and drive street rods, but this torrent is the most fun vehicle I have ever owned. I always am looking for an excuse to go somewhere. I have looked at other vehicles and it seems to me that this car offers a lot more goodies for the money.

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.
Beautiful car

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!!!!!
