  A very nice surprise! - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Adam McEntee - August 12 - 9:56 am

  Great daily drive. Didnt even know Pontiac had a small suv, went to get an Envoy. Very nice ride most people think it is an import suv. Real nice ride, very agile.

  LAST CHOICE WAS MY 1ST CHOICE! - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By SUNSHINE - June 18 - 2:20 am

  I researched & drove so many different auto & in the end, I bought the 06 Torrent!I had originally put it on the top of my list; but dismissed it prior to seeing one. After looking at so many vehicles, it was the Torrent that made me excited when I saw it & drove it! Mine is silver with black heated leather; sun/moonroof, 6cd changer; and many other features that I love.The 06 Torrent rose to the top of my list above the 100s of autos that I had saw.Ive owned it for 2 mths & love it! I get 20mpg city driving. Its comfy; easy access to everything; so far so good! I did buy an extended warrantee for piece of mind.

  Sporty/Fun SUV - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Angie - May 21 - 9:23 pm

  I fell in love with the Equinox, UNTIL I drove the Torrent. We traded in the mini-van and I could not be happier. It has plenty of room in the back seat for the kids and the interior is great. I am loving this car. Its fun to drive and it looks sporty and fresh. Great vehicle!

  So Much Fun - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Laura - April 12 - 8:53 am

  I love my Torrent. I have had it for over a year now. With its sporty look and get up and go, it is so much fun to drive. My major reason for buying this vehicle was for its looks and the price for all the features you get.

  My new Torrent! - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Jim Knox - February 17 - 2:33 pm

  After a great ownership experience with a Saturn Vue (which my son now has), the torrent has much more torque, great five speed tranny, leather, luxury features like heated seats, XM radio, six disc cd, and its bigger for more cargo too. The ride is more controlled, quieter and less stressful on the highway - well worth the extra cost. The fit and finish are exemplary, just cant imagine what the buyers of German and Japanese fail too see in this fine GM product (Im a former foreign car only owner). GMs got it now, just hope its not too late for the General.

  Worst SUV, lots of REPAIRS - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By rocky - January 30 - 2:23 am

  We purchased this vehicle because we wanted a SUV that had better gas mileage than our Envoy. But wish we had just purchased another Envoy!! Have had car in shop numerous times, check engine light repeatly comes on, had front wheel bearings replaced. Now the drivers side heated seat BURNED UP, it even melted my husbands belt!!! I think they(Pontiac) should think about the issue!! Would not buy another TORRENT.

  I enjoy my ride - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Keith - January 21 - 4:06 am

  Back cargo on the torrent we test drove had cargo cover/table. Very nice feature. The Torrent we drove off the lot in did not have the same feature. Sad.

  Good Vehicle - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Steven & Stacy - October 4 - 7:30 pm

  We just purchased our Torrent and so far we love almost everything about it. I have lower back problems so the front seats arent 100% comfortable for me. (We didnt get power seats, but that would solve my problem.) We had a Vibe before and after the baby, too small. This is perfect, not too big.

  As good as Honda Pilot or Rav4 - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Jay - August 28 - 6:23 pm

  Very nice fit and finish and exceptional features for money. Handles freeway and in-town driving very well smooths out the bumps in Southern California freeways. Comfortable seats (couldnt believe they were in a GM product), very good ergonomics and a loud sound system to boot. Bravo GM, you have a repeat customer in me and won my wife away from buying another Toyota.

  Love my Torrent - 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  By Linda - August 21 - 1:43 am

  I purchased this Crossover vehicle last February. I have been very happy. It is very fun to drive has a lot of power. Almost as much as my 2000 Grand Am which I loved!! I have only one complaint in design. I am about 58" but when i have to clean snow off the windshield, the way the windshield is kinda of recessed its hard to get the snow off the windshield. I love the self dimming mirrors, I got my car at night and when I was driving home from the dealer I discovered these. Nice stereo system I have the 6 cd changer. I get more compliments on the color of my Torrent, I have the Crystal Lake color. All in all I love my Torrent!!
