2008 Pontiac Torrent Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are quite fond of the 2008 Pontiac Torrent, praising its solid performance, quiet interior, and reliability. Many appreciated the all-wheel drive, especially in snow conditions. However, some noted issues with gasketing and water leaks, and a desire for more power in the engine. Some also mentioned a lack of modern convenience features."
I did my research before finally selecting the Torrent. The car is solid and performs beautifully. Interior is quiet. I will truly enjoy owning this car. This is a step above the Saturn Vue with regards to construction and power. It is well worth the time for a test drive.
July 23, 2008For what it is, the vehicle runs and drives very well. This is rated at 185 hp. Could use a few more ponies to really impress. But the two biggest appeals to this vehicle for me was the back seat....and the fuel economy.
July 12, 2012I loved this car. The performance on it was great for a small crossover. For being an american car the build quality was pretty good. I thought the appearance on it looked very good. This was an awesome car to drive and the sound that it made was amazing!

February 8, 2011This new Pontiac is pretty good. It lacks alot or courtesy features like lighting under the dash and doors and its alittle clumsy in turns, but the AWD is awsome. This SUV is very hard to get off its course in the snow. Not bad for under $25,000.
February 14, 2009I really do like this vehicle and it has been fantastically reliable. GM has some owning up to do as far as gasketing and water leaks as well the TPMS sensors that keep corroding. Despite my crummy Dealership and GM frustrations the vehicle is worth it.
