2006 Pontiac Torrent Review:
A pretty Ute (black). Ride is nice and I think it handles fine. Powertrain is too small, and considering the mileage is realistically 16-18 a bigger motor is in order. Overall I like it.

Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Torrent?
Heated, power seats, sunroof, red instrument display, sterio/sound system, exterior look-sporty, but classy, especially the white with black leather interior,

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Torrent?
Heated and softer rear seats, power window controls on door, gas tank on driver's side, center console a little too high, bin would be better, window washer lever not visible & awkward to operate. More heating to floor NE winters are cold. Insulate to reduce road noise. Sunroof control tricky.

2006 Pontiac Torrent Review:
Its a little too new to know everything aout my new Torrent, but am looking forwrd to learning more. Only have 450 miles, but have already driven in snow and ice and Torrent appears to handle well. Had a 98 AWD Astro minivan and loved the AWD feature. I also like sitting up a little higher than in a car. There does seem to be a bit of road noise, but that could be the 17" tires. Also, noticing little less visibility to the side and rear than I am used to and the gas mileage so far hasn't been as good as expected, but maybe that's just the break in period. Like I said, its too new to know everything.

Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Torrent?
Climate controls, slick and intuitive; rear seat leg room!!; folding front passenger seat; rear shelves/table; AWD; cargo capacity good for a woodworker; style inside & out, two tone leather interior; rear view mirror compass/temp;

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Torrent?
Steering could be more precise for a "performance" vehicle; radio controls good, intuitive but, the display is hard to read, too small fonts and poor contrast; similarily at night the dark red of the instrument panel is hard to read; auto up on the window too along with auto up/down on other windows

2006 Pontiac Torrent Review:
Have had the AWD with all the goodies for 850 miles now and am pleased. The AWD has performed well in the little snow and slush we've had. Nice power, ride and handling for such a vehicle. Good looking inside and out. Hauls long pieces of lumber well. I've owned 5 BMWs and largely avoided US vehicles until I got a GMC Canyon to go 4x4ing. Had a good experience with that, so when I discovered that crew cabs don't fit into the 80 year old garage in the house I just got decided to give GM another chance and on paper the Torrent fit my needs better than anything else. Have been turned off by the recent quality problems with Euro cars. So far so good, and, my teenage daugter likes it too!
