2006 pontiac torrent review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Pontiac introduces car-based, compact suv. introductionthe all-new 2006 pontiac torrent is the biggest of the compact suvs. It's built on the platform of the chevy equinox. Unlike most pontiacs, torrent's styling is restrained, clean and pleasing. lineupthe 2006 pontiac torrent comes with a choice of front-wheel drive 22,400) or all-wheel drive 24,300). Torrent is powered by gm's 3. 4-liter v6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. Only one trim level is offered, but with a variety of options. standard equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, am/fm/cd with six speakers, remote entry and automatic door locks, fog lamps, roof rails, daytime running lights, a rear window wiper, and 16-inch aluminum wheels. options include a premium package 795) with leather interior and heated front seats. The preferred package 1555) includes primarily a six-way power driver's seat, tinted glass, cruise control, crossbars for the roof rails, and leather-wrapped steering wheel to accent the cloth interior. The sun and sound package 1285) includes a sunroof and six-disc pioneer sound system with seven speakers and a subwoofer and amplifier. Stand-alone options include xm satellite radio 325) and 17-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires 295). safety features that come standard include abs, a rear child-seat latch system, and the mandated front airbags. An optional security package 1090) includes side curtain airbags and one year of onstar service. Electronic stability control isn't available. walkaroundthe pontiac torrent is relatively large for the class, with a wheelbase that's 13 inches longer than that of the ford escape. The torrent is based on a car platform. It shares its basic structure with the chevy equinox and saturn vue. Torrent is the same shape as the equinox, but torrent's split kidney grille announces it's a pontiac and gives it some distinction. Distinction is in fairly short supply in this class, however, and the torrent looks similar to most suvs in this category. all in all, it's a pleasing, subtle design, with clean lines and a forward wedge shape to the sides. The trapezoidal twin-beam headlamps are strong, reminiscent of a saab, and so is the pseudo skid-plate that wraps up onto the front fascia, coming from under the car. The b-pillar is flat black, so it's barely visible between the tinted glass of the front and rear doors; this accentuates the thick c-pillar, and the pleasant tall rectangular shape of the rear side window. Thick aluminum roof rails are suggestive of those on the nissan xterra and help give this car-based suv a more rugged appearance. The outside door handles are the big grab variety, making it easy to open the doors and climb in without breaking fingernails. interiorgetting in the pontiac torrent is easy. The seats are comfortable, though we'd prefer more side bolstering. the cabin looks nice, though the materials vary in quality. The standard cloth upholstery, used on the seats and door trim is attractive. The available leather seats are also nice. The instruments are uncluttered and easy to read, despite the red lighting. The dashboard is low, affording good forward visibility. Big side mirrors make more good rearward visibility. The inside door handles are easy to operate. On the floor is a single cupholder that works well for cans and water bottles; just aft of this, also on the floor, are slots for cds angled forward for easy access. A pair of cupholders can be popped out of the end of the console, but they're flimsy and obstruct the floor-mounted handbrake lever; we avoided using them, preferring the floor-mounted cupholder. The door pockets are narrow, though there are map pockets on the sides of the center tunnel. There's room for a cell phone on each side of the gear lever, which is surrounded by a grippy rubber pad. the optional pioneer sound system is deep and rich, something we discovered while listening to xm satellite radio's cinemagic station, with movie soundtracks. the rear seat slides forward or back eight inches, a nice feature. Sliding it forward and adds five cubic feet of cargo space. The rear seat is split 60/40 for cargo versatility, and the seatbacks recline, so passengers back there can really lie back. The front passenger seat folds flat, turning it into a tray or allowing long items, like a surfboard, to stretch from the tailgate to dashboard. the cargo compartment features a clever polycarbonate tray that pulls out of the floor and can be slotted into one of three height levels, so it can be used for different things, including concealment. It allows two levels of grocery boxes or bags, for example. The tailgate lifts high enough that all but the tallest owners can stand fully upright beneath it. driving impressionthe pontiac torrent gets good acceleration out of its 185-horsepower v6 engine. It uses an older, overhead-valve design, however, so it's not as smooth and quiet as, say, an overhead-cam engine from toyota. Epa rates it 19/24 city/highway miles per gallon. The upshifts are nice and tight. There's good engine torque, with 210 pound-feet, and the transmission ratios and electronically variable shift points are well matched. We drive two steep hills every day in all kinds of vehicles, including those far more powerful than the torrent; many other transmissions have to kick down, but the torrent did not. The longest wheelbase and widest track in the class surely add to this capability. The ride was good, including over some rough gravel roads, and. It's not hard to spin the front wheels when taking off quickly, and the front-drive torrent comes standard with traction control to mitigate that. We haven't driven an all-wheel-drive version. It's a competent vehicle with some nice convenience features, such as a sliding rear seat. In terms of refinement it's about average for the class. newcartestdrive.

2005 pontiac grand prix review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Comfort and utility with fun and flair. introductionsince 1962, the pontiac grand prix has been a family-size car with custom-car styling and a performance-car attitude. The first two generations of grand prix were big cars, too, even by 1960s standards. For 2004, pontiac released the ninth-generation grand prix, and it's better than ever. the previous pontiac grand prix had been known as a fine mover, a good stopper, a fair looker and a reasonable handler. The current car brings improvements in all those categories, and a real revolution in interior design, not only in eye-appeal and ergonomics but in versatility, flexibility and utility. Model and trim designations have been rationalized, while the comp g option package still stokes excitement at the top end of the range. lineupthe 2005 pontiac grand prix is offered in three primary trim levels: base, gt and gtp, with an additional ultimate-handling competition group available on the gtp. Abs 600) is optional and comes with electronic brake-force distribution (ebd), advanced traction control, and a tire inflation monitor. A driver's package 500) combines a power driver's seat, front and rear floor mats and 16-inch polished aluminum wheels. gt 24,800) adds abs with brake-based traction control, electronic (rather than hydraulic) power steering, power front seats, upgraded interior appointments, aluminum wheels, and mp3 capability for the stereo. gtp 26,560) gets a supercharged version of the same v6 engine that generates 260 horsepower at 5400 rpm and 280 pound-feet of torque at 3600 rpm. Goodrich comp t/a performance tires, stabilitrak sport, tapshift, and a more aggressive 3. 29:1 final drive gear (instead of the standard gtp's 2. 93). Stabilitrak sport is a vehicle-stability system tuned to provide maximum hands-on control during cornering. Tapshift (touch activated power) provides a set of small paddles on the steering wheel allowing semi-manual shifting of the automatic transmission. options for gt and gtp models include dual-zone automatic climate control 275); xm satellite radio 325); a 235-watt monsoon audio system 695); dvd-based navigation with monsoon audio 2,390), trip computer with head-up display and dual-zone automatic climate control 875); leather upholstery 795). side-impact and curtain airbags 395) are available on all models. So is a remote starter 150) and engine-block heater 35). walkarounda commitment to style separates the grand prix from other mid-size transportation pods. The rear end is as muscular as a speed skater's. Pronounced, enlarged taillights are mounted at the corners. A discreet spoiler finishes the deck lid. through the taillights and extended into the sheet metal are two horizontal bulges, like cladding segments escaped from the sides of a grand am. If this were a fashion story i would say they were 'to add eye interest' to the rear. Anyway, following a grand prix down the highway is a pleasant occupation. The rear is important in appearance and certainly distinguishable from its road mates. appearance is the most subjective aspect of any automobile. Suffice it to say i would rather follow this grand prix than spot it in the rearview mirror: i'm not delighted with the front end. The slightly sculptured hood is a good beginning, but when shaping lines come off the hood swooping down to trace around the grille something goes wrong for me. The resulting grille with its trademark pontiac division is straight across on top with bowl-shaped curving sides. It appears to me like a tight smirk, ungenerous and simpering. The headlights are even more slanted and attenuated than on the previous grand prix. the so-called coke-bottle sides are marked (marred i would say) by two parallel character lines through the two doors about a hand's span below the door handles. Gratefully, there's no cladding, but these lines bother me. I think one reason the new grand prix looks best in black is because black hides these creases. the black grand prix at the press introduction also had a solution for some of my objections to the new grille: a heavier, more important optional chrome surround. (now if a black grand prix came with a crew armed with california dusters i'd consider it in a heartbeat.) the aerodynamic door handles are hard to grab and hold onto. interiorinside is where the grand prix absolutely shines. Leather and satin nickel set the tone for the interior style of the grand prix, and materials pleasant to both eye and fingertips continue the experience. the seats are supportive and comfortable. The leather-wrapped steering wheel fills the hand just right. The outside mirrors are remarkably large for a sedan. That's a feature suv drivers often mention as a reason they like suvs. The large center speedometer stands out from and overlaps the tachometer (on the left) and the circle containing the fuel and temperature gauges (on the right). No cluttering inner-ring of numbers. Below an organized cluster of white icons on simple black buttons and dials keep the driver tuned in, warm or cool, etc. Pleasing to look at and nothing bewildering. as comfortable as the seating, as pleasant to look at and feel as the interior is, what is really special is its functionality and flexibility. Not only do the back seats fold down in pairs or singly (with a 60/40 split) to effectively increase cargo capacity, the back of the front passenger seat folds forward (on gt and gtp), table flat. all this flat and nearly flat space can be accessed through the trunk (with a particularly low lift-over height.) thus it's easy to fold the appropriate seats and load long objects into the vehicle: a roll of carpet or a ladder or skis or italian market umbrellas. That trunk opening besides being lower is also about ten inches wider. The products had to be stripped of their packing to manipulate them through car doors. Cognizant of that problem, grand prix designers played dentist: 'open wider, please.' and now the doors swing out 82 degrees, improving ingress and egress for people and.
