Good ride but could have been better
I loved the exterior of my 2007 Torrent AWD and was excited about the interior but after driving it for a while I noticed that the good and the bad:
THE BAD
The outlet is inconveniently located (too low to plug a Bluetooth device and talk), the front seats have no arm rests, the fuel economy is not what they say it is...it takes a full tank for 500 km driving little city and mostly hwy no more than 100-110 km/h. I used to have a '98 FWD Pontiac Trans Sport, amazing minivan, in short...a SPRING CHICKEN...on the same size fuel tank I was driving 600 km...maybe AWD takes up more fuel
Well, the Torrent is more like a Grandma who's really trying....
The GOOD
Plenty of leg room both at the front and back, the back seat is adjustable, which is great, the cargo area is fairly large. It drives nicely but I find it kind of lazy when accelerating, especially up hill. Overall it seems pretty "healthy" for a 5 yr old car
All in all, I think there are better choices for the $$, but if you really want a Torrent, is not bad but you have to put up with these things
