Buick Torrent

Almost forgot to do my auto review.

Never heard of a Buick Torrent. It is a cross-over utility vehicle, CUV, that appears to be based on a truck chassis.

It isn't as bad looking as the Aztec which I'm sure is a cousin. It is very comfortable inside except for the driver window. The ledge - I guess that's what you call it - where the glass goes into the door is high. It is actually kind of difficult to reach out to get parking lot tickets and such. And forget putting your elbow up.

It bears repeating again...the transmission is excellent. Since the Torrent is a GM, this one follows the trend of it's siblings.
