  Could be better - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By chestnuts - January 12 - 5:36 pm

  Having driven my new Torrent for about 4 months now, I do find a few annoying shortcomings. The controls on the Steering Wheel are terribly designed. The 3 cruise control buttons (and those for the radio too) are much too small for a mans finger! I must take off my eyes off the road and actually look to find the right button, then use my fingernails to activate the control button.In short, a terrible design. I now have 12,000 Miles on it and I am ready to replace the tires. Especially in rainy weather, a little acceleration and the wheels start to spin! No traction whatsoever -very disappointing. I feel car should have more power. In normal overtaking maneuvers,car moans and groans.

  Torrent Love - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By janson - January 10 - 7:40 am

  Love the size. Bigger then the competition, but not huge, and doesnt feel big while driving. It can actually fit in parking spots, but still has tons of leg room in the rear. Plenty of engine for what it supposed to do, and lots of features to keep the driver informed.

  Im Happy - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Happy - August 27 - 10:03 pm

  My 2007 Torrent is the first brand new vehicle I have ever purchased. I was used to driving a Camaro, but wanted something roomier and better in bad weather. I haver been very pleased with my Torrent. I get approx 22 to 23 mpg which I am happy with. I agree with everybody else in saying that the parking break and cup holders should be restructured so they could be used at the same time, and also the location of the cigarette lighter is hard to get to when you are using the cup holders. Everything else is GREAT! I would definitely suggest a Pontiac Torrent to anyone.

  2007 torrent - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Teresa - August 5 - 11:53 pm

  I love the look of the Pontiac Torrent very roomy for a smaller suv. I have had my torrent in the shop at least 8 times for ignition problems. The key will not turn. Its like in a lock position and all they would do is spray and lube the ignition. At 30,000 miles now my rotors are warped and they say they just do that sometimes. They just replaced the ignition cylinder hoping this fixes the problem!

  Poor Mans BMW - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Road Trip Warrior - July 26 - 2:33 pm

  Looking for a fun vehicle that is very good on gas economy and has a lot of bells and whistles for the money? The Torrent has a responsive feel and very good handling for a crossover type car. Although the horsepower could be slightly higher to create better response, there is plenty of pickup to nudge your way into highway merges. Extensive leg room and flat floor space makes for better comfort than our previous Envoy in the back seat area. Fully equipped with everything but the navigator, my wife seems to marvel at the remote start and sunroof features which add more enjoyment. Better feel than the Equinox, easy to drive, the Torrent makes for a great alternative to pricier crossovers.

  Not a great Vechile - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Frank Weir - April 17 - 12:23 pm

  Bought it used last year. First rain storm found out how poor it handles in the rain. Traction control is scary when it comes on. It came with four good snow tires but is total useless in the snow. When on ling trip this summer and had reasonable trip except when it rained. Found that the spare tire compartment fills with water when it rains. Lost right side from stereo and the turn signal has no sound. First and last GM product.

  Like the Torrent - 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  By Mark D - January 13 - 7:46 am

  I owned a Dodge Caravan for 12 years and wanted something smaller but still roomy. Im about 6 tall so I like the leg room & headroom of SUVs. I test drove a Mariner, too, but chose the Torrent. Its more comfortable because its wider and the seats are very cushiony.
