  So far so good - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By G Miller - October 23 - 5:10 pm

  Ive had my Torrent for a week. I love it! Sure, its not a Lexus or Infiniti, but it is good value for the money. I happen to like the seats. Theyre firm, and they dont catch me under the knees like most car seats do. There is very little noise filtering in while on the highway. The back seat legroom is fantastic, as is entry/exit. And if you lower the back seat, you have tons of room. I think GM worked out some of the bugs from the Equinox and has a winner with the Torrent. There are a few things I dont care for, but just about every car has those things we dont like. Id recommend it to anyone!

  Great Mid Size SUV - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Jessica Evilsizor - June 1 - 5:03 am

  I have owned my Pontiac Torrent for 6 weeks and love to drive it! The interior is amazing with the sun and sand package, 6 disc cd changer, numerous speakers, and of course sun roof, and the gas mileage is not too bad either. I drive in downtown Indianapolis everyday and still get 22 miles to the gallon.

  I have driven in the Ozarks and with all the hills and turns the Torrent handles the curves well!

  Enjoying New Torrent - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By JohnV - March 3 - 4:36 am

  I wasnt interested in an SUV until I test drove a Torrent. I was very impressed on how it handled,and how enjoyable it was to drive. The interior also caught my eye with the great amount of leg room in the back.

  Great Little ute - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Great little SUV - February 12 - 8:46 am

  I researched and then some in my attempt to buy a small to midsize SUV, looked at the VUE and wasnt impressed, Envoy and Trailblazer are too overpriced, I saw the Torrent and took her for a drive and all i can say is that it I enjoy it thoroughly, nice get up and go, and roomy as hell interior, and price was great, i paid $21,000 for 2wd with the 17 in wheel package, I recommend it to anyone in the market for a small to midsize SUV

  Excellent SUV - Fun to drive - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Stan - February 10 - 9:13 am

  Excellent SUV! Drives well and looks great. Gas mileage is decent, with the engine offering plenty of power and pep. Im 62", and I find the seats very comfortable with plenty of legroom. My Torrent has the "Crystal Lake" paint color, which sometimes looks blue, sometimes green, sometimes purple! GM has definitely improved on their interiors with this car

  Get to know your mechanic! - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By callaann27 - January 9 - 12:30 am

  I bought my Torrent used with 70,000. Around 80K I replaced a wheel bearing and it stopped heating. By 90K I had blown head gaskets twice and made the decision to put a new motor in it with 44K. This motor is running much smoother but my engine light stays on at all times. Going on 95K on the body and my struts need to be replaced and another set of tires. I need to get this car paid off and move on from GM.

  Pleasant vehicle with easy handling, very responsive, and fun to drive. Adequate amount of space in rear and moveable rear seat to add more storage space is excellent. Tail gate raises high to clear ones head when open. Nice hand holds for bringing it down. Should NEVER put black interior in a SUV - as it shows every bit of dust/dirt, and a SUV is for working~!
