Water leak in the spare tire tub of 2006 Pontiac Torrent?
I purchased a 2006 Pontiac Torrent about a week ago with only 12,000 miles on it. I just discovered that there was aprox 2" of water in the spare tire tub.

As outfitted, the Torrent GXP will handily run circles around a Hyundai Santa Fe, Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, or 2009 Dodge Journey.
