16 year old car; I didn't put a ton of miles on it, had the remote start. I live this car and still drive it. I'm tall and needed to be able to sit comfortably and upright (have spinal stenosis). Loved the remote start so much. It's my zip zip around car. Longer wheelbase made it a little harder to park in those tiny parking spaces at strip malls. Enjoyed immensely taking this car in day trips and weekend get aways. Fam still borrow it for trips. So much room for the passengers, never complaints from passengers. Lots of room to pack what you need. I've had to replace a wheel bearing. The paint is chopping off now {it sits outside in all weather}. The chrome plated wheels started peeling fairly early on but didn't bother me much. They do now have to be sanded when getting new tires to ensure proper seal (they do that at the tire installation shop) otherwise you have a slow leak. I now have to manually turn off the blinkers, but cld pay to have that fixed, just haven't. Speakers still make me happy. I can plug in a phone and listen to my music, but of course too old for a screen or other conveniences. I love my torrent will be sad when it it done and gone.

I have owned this car for almost 3 years. Within this time, I have had the timing chain, fuel pump replaced twice and replaced the shocks and struts, battery and transmission rebuilt. Still it makes a lot of road noise when driving. My husband changed the oil and was almost shocked by open wires that the mechanic had told us Pontiac had made a short cut on when manufacturing it. The engine light will not go off and has been on for 6 months. When the heat is turned on, the air conditioner comes on instead. On it way back to the mechanic as I write this review. Don't buy this suv. Not a reliable vehicle and with high maintenance, not worth buying.

Recently purchased a Pontiac Torrent 2008. The purchase price was $2900 and was worth every penny. It is an AWD as well. There are some minor issues that need attention at some point. It runs fantastic. Plenty of power and very comfortable. I am an Aztek fan as well. I own a 2005 and have had the same experience with this car. Would definitively recommend either of these cars. Pontiac made superior automobiles, in my humble opinion.
