Mobile Alabama isn't the kind of place you can get around in without your own wheels, so the good folks over at Alamo Car Rental were kind enough to rent me a nice, barely broken in (4500 on the odo), deep dark blue 2006 Pontiac Torrent to handle my cheap luxury travelin' needs. Over 3 days I... Read full review »

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 would actually be the Pontiac and as it turned... Read full review »

A better-handling alternative to the Chevrolet Equinox?

Pros Styling, interior versatility, rear legroom
Cons Steering feel, handling could be sportier, interior materials
Recommended it? Yes

The Chevrolet Equinox, though very late to the compact car-based SUV party, has done well for Chevrolet. Unlike most GM products, this one has met its sales goals without large rebates.

At the same time, the Equinox hasn't been well-received by the automotive press, and perhaps as a... Read full review »

Cons None so far. I love it!

I purchased a 2006 Pontiac Torrent AWD about 8 months ago. I bought it slightly used with about 8000 miles on it, but it drives like brand-new. The Torrent has been my first "new" car that I got to pick out and pay for myself, so I have been very proud to own it. I got the AWD edition with leather... Read full review »

Pros Nice to look at and fairly comfortable.
Cons Nothing but problems, will get rid of it as soon as I can .
Recommended it? No

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 ten trips to the dealer so far and the...

My wife and I bought a new Torrent on Valentines day of this year for her to drive. Living in Alaska our 2 main concerns were winter driving and fuel economy. I liked the all wheel drive aspect the most. It handles very good on snow and ice! As far as fuel economy it has been pretty much what the... Read full review »
