Cons: None so far. I love it!
The Bottom Line: Great car, great handling, a true pleasure to drive.

Pros: Handling under 70mph, performance, cargo room
Cons: Handling over 70mph, boring looks, so-so ergonomics
The Bottom Line: Its not a vehicle to get excited over, it's average.
Background: We needed a rental car at the Long Beach Airport and thanks to a special being run by Alamo were able to get a small SUV for less than a mid-sized car. The Alamo site said it could be a Chevy Avalanche or similar. I was hoping it ...

Pros: the exterior design, rear seat room, mileage, handling, 3.4L V6 185hp engine
Cons: check options before buying, rear hatch, gas tank opening useability
The Bottom Line: I would recommend to anyone who is in the market for a smaller SUV to look at the Torrent. Pontiac built excitement in an SUV!

Pros: Nice looking small SUV
Cons: Some usability complaints, cheesy trim/interior details, sloppy steering...
The Bottom Line: The Pontiac Torrent is a fairly average vehicle overall. I'm not sure I'd want to buy one, but it's an okay rental ride...

Pros: Nice to look at and fairly comfortable.
Cons: Nothing but problems, will get rid of it as soon as I can .
Bought brand new one year and 12K miles ago. It's a beautiful vehicle to look at. Too bad that's only skin deep. The entire interior is made of substandard materials. the materials used on the Pontiac G5 is by far superior, and it costs 10K less. Apprx
