  2007 Torrent - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Mark - March 15 - 4:13 am

  Seating comfort was the biggest factor in my choosing the Torrent, but it is fun to drive and Ive been impressed by the fuel economy. I like the exterior styling better than the Jeep or Mariner or even the Torrents twin the Chevy Equinox. The front grille looks like the twin-kindey of a BMW X3, and I like that.

  I Think We Have a Winner - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Gail - September 19 - 11:10 pm

  Had my heart set on a Rav 4 for over a year. Spent about that much time researching all similar vehicles for everything from MPG to TCO My husband recommended I look at this and Im glad I did. It is beautiful, stylish, has longer power train warranty, rides well has better peripheral vision area. The Crystal Lake is an awesome teal color. Rich looking and a little different than your standard blue or green. The best part was the price. Leather, Onstar, XM radio, side curtain airbags and still about $2500 less out the door than the RAV4. Would recommend this to anyone. Mileage is a little less than expected but my husband insists its because the engine is new

  We have had this vehicle for almost a year now and have not had a problem with it. It drives very smooth, very appealing exterior which is hard to find right now.

  Excellent Features/Fun to Drive - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Dan - February 1 - 1:16 am

  We Love our 2007 Torrent. The new interior layout with the Driver info Center is excellent. The New Onstar Nav feature is just as good or better than a screen nav, and it comes included with onstar. The info center gives fuel econ which is important to us. We have averaged about 21-22mpg mixed City/Hwy. The radio functionality is great, with XM built in, and a aux jack for ipods, etc. Would highly recommend this car to anyone wanting alot of space, a solid quite ride, and many features, for a great value.

  Sporty Look Family Vehicle - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Adam - October 21 - 7:00 pm

  The car drives great and has better fuel economy then I expected. I think the biggest surprise was the leg room in the back seat, all of our passengers said they were very comfortable riding in the back.

  Long Time Toyota Owner/Purchaser - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By BtCaptiva - October 9 - 8:46 pm

  I am truly impressed with this vehicle. Styling is "eye catching" and performance with the 184 HP engine is remarkably strong, handling is much like a sports car feel. Highway is a smooth ride. Instrumentation is easily viewed and accessible. There is plenty of room for driver and passengers. The back seat adusts as well which is unique. As a mid-size it is comparable to other, more expensive makes, as far as hauling capacity. The sound system is wonderful. During hot summer months the A/C cools quickly. I looked at other makes comparable in size priced in the $30,000s that I would normally purchase but for the money I choice this Torrent and have been pleased. Time will tell.

  Awesome SUV - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Carlos - September 9 - 3:13 am

  Like many of you, I was doing some research last year trying to buy a comfortable, spacious and low price SUV. In conclusion the Torrent beat all the other suv I researched (Patriot,compass, Escape, Mercury). You get more of what you pay for. I bought the Bugg shield, window visor and mud guard. Wish it make it look cooler. Gas Mileage is decent compared to other cars or SUVs, cant complain.

  Best all-around SUV - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By JeremyH - February 18 - 4:06 pm

  Looking for an SUV I wanted something that was a) all wheel/4 wheel drive b) could pull at least 3,500 lbs c) get decent gas mileage, d) have “cool-wow” features e) have above average build quality & f) not cost me $30-K. I found that the CRV & Rav4 can’t pull a boat & looked “toyish”. The Escape is smaller & gets worse gas mileage. Likewise, the Dodge Nitro/Jeep Liberty twins have lower MPG’s, & they just didn’t have a quality feel. The Torrent feels roomier inside than any of the other SUV’s, & it’s reliability ratings are good. Overall feel is that of a more expensive import. Gas mileage has been what I expected too: 17 city & up to 25 highway.

  Torrent kept us safe - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By azalea25 - January 30 - 2:56 pm

  After much research for a safe but affordable SUV, we purchased a Torrent in August. Unfortunately, after only a month of ownership, a teenage driver rear-ended us and pushed us into a school bus. Thank God no one was hurt, but the Torrent was totaled. I credit the Torrent for keeping my son and me safe inside even though the outside was badly mangled. I shudder to think what would have happened had we been in a different vehicle.
