  Excellent SUV - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By doucon - June 5 - 12:43 am

  This is our first SUV and it is wonderful. It does have a bigger blindspot than the other cars we have had but that is the only bad thing. We love the amount of space you can have with the seats folded down. The rear seat leg room is excellent.

  Worth the wait - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By AverageGuy - April 21 - 5:26 am

  Our 1998 Chevy Tracker fit in the garage allright, ran without any problems for many years; but was always a SUV wanna-be. We needed an SUV that was small enough for the garage but big enough for comfotable trips to and from our daughters college; 450 miles return. The Torrent exceeds our expectations.

  No complaints - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Christine - April 9 - 1:40 am

  So far I think the car is great. A few minor modifications to interior set up could be made but otherwise all around its a fine car.

  love the torrent - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By juanita hammersley - April 5 - 11:30 pm

  The torrent has a smooth ride. The controls are easy to use. The only things that are not easy are the cup holders and ash tray. They are in an awkward position. The torrent is very comfortable on long trips. The sound system is terrific.

  Plugged Heater Core - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Robin - February 11 - 6:30 pm

  Ive loved my Torrent. It drives great and looks great. But, Ive had it almost exactly 2 years and the heater stopped working. Per the dealership, Ive got a plugged heater core wich is $400-500 to fix. They also have another Torrent in the shop right now with the same problem. This seems a bit odd to me that 2006 Torrents would start having this problem. Wished it had a 5 year/100,000 warranty. I dont think the 3 year/36,000 covers long enough.

  New Buyer - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By B. Puthoff - January 28 - 1:40 am

  I just purchased my Torrent 5 days ago. I have had prior Pontiac vehicles, and so far, so good. I do notice more wind noise with the sunroof. I dont know if its the pop-up wind deflector or the roof rails that I hear the wind noise from. I also agree that the steering feels "loose" and slow to respond. But Im also used to a Grand Prix GT ! Well, heres hoping that GM is in the market with the oversees competitors.
