Car was great. Bought a 2007 with 6000 miles less from the Porsche dealership for $1500 less ; Honda would not deal on price even when they knew I was going to the Porsche dealership to buy.

I have long wished for an affordable English Roadster - 2 seats, impractical, zoomy, fun car. Most of those have left the realm of affordability. So after test driving 5 times, I took a chance on this car. No regrets at all. I love how it drives, I love how zoomy it is. There are so few out there that you don't see many on the road and people think it is WAY more expensive a sports car than it actually is. Heads turn wherever I go and people approach me at the gas station to talk about it. Since it is my 'fun car', I do not worry much about the storage capacity (there is almost none). If you are looking for something to cruise in, run about on a beautiful day or drive to work (and then daydream about leaving for the day) than this is your car. ON THE OTHER HAND - I wish GM had put a little nicer fit and finish in the interior. The hard plastics are a bummer and the leather isn't great. The top is a little wonky to get up and down, but when stowed the car looks fantastic. I have had the car for over a year now and have only had to change the oil.

It is a number 60 in the first year of production

Love the style, very reliable handles great. Stero wonderful the looks of this car is priceless, and I feel like a millionaire driving the car in the Hamptons. People stop to say that I have a beautiful car. I really love it. Never a problem right now I have 8800 miles. Very low. But I intend to use it much more this summer.

I bought my '06 Solstice in 2008, when it had about 15K miles. Upon delivery the top fastening hook was damaged, and the rear end was bad (differential too noisy to be OK). The water pump has a small leak, too. A dealership replaced the rear end as a warrantied item, and I fixed the top. Nearly 85K miles later, the water pump seal was finally passing enough coolant to warrant replacing the pump. I got the car out of the shop Saturday, and today marked 100K miles on the odometer. Overall this car has been a very good car, very satisfying to drive, and has never stranded me.

My Solstice is my first convertible after years of dreaming of owning a convertible; of ANY kind. I have driven and researched many kinds of convertibles. The Solstice turned out to be a real deal on many levels; since Pontiac is no longer in business the 1st year production models became something of a collector's item, it's fun to drive, easy to maintain and affordable. No disappointments. A cool car and I just love it in RED.

i would warn anyone against buying this vehicle. I bought mine a year ago with very low mileage and still in warrenty. recently I noticed the service airbag light coming on and also that i could not get the car into 4th gear. took it to the local GM dealer and was told it would cost $700- $800 to fix the airbad and another $1500 to fix the transmission. I am looking at $2500 or more to get the car back to where i can sell it or trade it. the car has a rough ride and no trunk at all. it is not a very practical car. they said the transmission is made in Taiwan so no telling how long it will be before i get parts or my car back. this is a nightmare. stay away from this car.

Owning the car was fun, obviously it is nice to look at and definitely attracts attention. Before this car I was use to smooth riding coupes or sedans so this was a change in road feel. I realized that I enjoyed driving a smoother ride much better, so am going to trade it in. i also purchased the manual transmission which has become a hassle now that i live in a city with endless red lights. I felt like the engine stuttered a little at times in third. It has never broken down on me or anything like that, but I definitely miss a bigger four door car with a smoother ride.

My Car is 3 1/2 years old, and I do love it. I have 14,000 miles on it now. However the tire rims are chrome plated. I just found out that my front right chrome rim has shredded inside making the interior of the rim like shredded razor blades ruining my tires. It has ruined two front tires which cost about $325.00 each. I would recommend not getting the chrome tires and I am calling Pontiac GM on Monday and I hope they replace the tire rims and check my other three tires for the same problems. My first flat tire I almost had a serious vechicle accident. The entire tire shredded. The dealership would not tell me the reason why this happened. This is a serious danger to Soltice Drivers.

Overall I love the car, however GM should have worked on expanding the leg room for the driver and the passenger. The seven speaker sound system is great to listen to and even though its a four cyclinder, it still has some pickup to it.

I've been driving my car daily for 2 years and am beginning to have problems with it; more problems than I expected for a relatively new car. This is my 5th convertible to drive - one Corvette, a Cabriolet, and 2 Miatas, and this is by far the least reliable car I've ever owned in my life. Yes, it looks great. Yes, driving a roadster is fun. Yes, it's a guy magnet. But I'm even debating to keep my car.

Great car to drive. Most reviews I've read are on manual transmissions. I ordered an Automatic, hey! I'm getting on in years and manuals are just to difficult for these tired broken limbs. Anyway, I had to wait almost six months for it to come into the dealers. Well worth the wait. I love the sports car feel, it's like you can feel the weather lines that run horizontally across the pavement or the lines where the concrete pieces in the road come together.

Bought this car on an almost-whim. Saw it on the lot and took it for a test drive. Fell in love. Was a low-mileage repo from what I've been told. Major head turner, top up or down.

I got my Solstice in January 06, just after my daughter turned 21 years old. Now, it's just me and the Chihuahuas. Such a fun, fun car to drive. Heads turn all over the place, especially with the top down. Love the sound that she makes. A neighbor once asked if I had made modifications. Nope I told him, she just purrs like that.

I debated between the Solstice, Mazda, and Sky. I had a car on lease, and let the lease buyout sway my decision. I now have a 2006 Solstice, it had 3,300 miles when I bought it. I now have 8,000 miles and am totally happy. My only regret is it has very little space for anything except me a passenger and a couple cups of coffee. I had the opportunity to drive it on a 500 mile trip, and love it. Top is easy to raise and lower, and tight as a drum. I wanted a fun, sporty, stickshift, good handling, quick sports car like the old MG's and Austin Healy and that is what I feel I have. I kid Vette owners it is a halfavette - cylinders, size, and price! But a lot of fun.

I saw the reviews before the car was produced. I knew I had to have one. I waited 8 months and it was worth it. It screams at me to drive it. The most fun car I've ever owned or driven. Car sat for a year in the garage while I went back to Iraq. Now I'm making up for lost time. The perfect weekend toy.

Okay, maybe I was expecting to be somewhat disappointed when I bought this car, well let me tell you, I am still somewhat shocked that it has surpassed my expectations in every way. First off, after 18 months of ownership, it's style and looks still turn heads just about anywhere you go. So don't expect to get lost in traffic. Secondly, it's ease of handling and control, especially on winding roads, makes you want to drive instead of it being a chore. Knowing the only available engine (4 cyl.)I knew it's limitations.All in all, for the price I could not have done better. Sadly, with 3 kids (17-22yrs.), and my wife who feels much younger when she drives it, I must wait my turn. I need 3 more!

I love my Solstice. It looks better than my 99 Corvette hardtop. I have done several things to make it different than others. I am thinking about putting a Hahn Turbo and maybe a hardtop also. Mine has just about ever option. I have not had to take it back for anything up to this point. Very good quality and really fun to drive. The most fun car I have ever owned. Buy one you'll love it!

I have had mine only 1 week now, so some of the above questions couldn't be 10's only cause I haven't owned it long enough to test the gas mileage. But I plan to do so. Loving this car in automatic transmission. I bought it with 8500 miles on it fully loaded for a steal. Mine is an eye catching agressive Victory Red, driving it reminds me of the Pontiac Fiero I once owned. This car far exceeds that car. Maybe next year's vacation will be me and my Solstice making the run from Boston to Phoenix.

This is my 3rd roadster. Bug-eyed Healy and a Sunbeam tiger before this. Both of them beat me to death and I loved them. This car rides well, is comfortable (1100 miles in 2 days to the 1st annual convention) and I was not worn out. Have averaged 26 mpg over the 13,000 miles I have put on in a year, with a high of 30 mpg in the flatlands of the midwest. Lowest was 23 mpg running the dragons tail. This car is a blast on the twisties, and fun around time. Now if people would just quit asking what kind of car it is.

I love sports cars. When this vehicle was on the drawing boards I kept articles on it. When delivered it fully met my expectations. I purchased mine with a convertible acoustic roof (thick). It drives very quite, has a great stereo system, and handles very well. On turns it hugs the road. I have not had any mechnical issues at all with my car. If you need to make an emergency stop, this car stops very quick with no loss of control. This car handles very well and looks like a corvette from the rear, yet has a european sports look from the front. Depending on the color you pick it can look sporty or luxurious. Only change I would recommend is different daytime dashboard lighting on some gauges

This is the most fun car I have ever owned or driven. I drove it half way across the country this past summer and just loved it with the top up or down. Fuel economy was up around 29 when I stayed at 55-60 mph. It dropped to around 25-26 when I went 75 thru Oklahoma on the expressway. What as smooth ride! I'm keeping this car.

Amazing vehicle. It inspires envy everywhere it goes. It's acceleration is impressive, to a point (about 85 km/ h). On the highway it's a typically gutless 4 cylinder, but it IS a roadster after all. Loving this car is easy, just drop the top on a warm summer evening and you'll understand. One more point! Don't let ANYONE tell you that you can't put groceries or anything else in the trunk. YOU CAN! Besides, if you're worried about fitting cargo in a car like this, go buy a mini van old man.

It's a sharp looking car and I did really love it. But, it's been in the shop three times ( its there now). Its just stopped running when I was going down the road. Wouldn't start the next time and the last time all the light started flashing and it died. Next time it will be a lemon and I'll get an attorney. It just cant be trusted. I'm a women and I don't want to be stranded.

My wife and I were looking for an exotic car without breaking the bank. Corvette, BMW, and another Mercedes were considered. We rode by our local dealership the other evening and WOW, check that out. A Solstice. A friend of mine let me drive his the first day he got it and I wanted one. OK, now I got one and am quite happy with it. The only thing I can say to the GM R&D folks is "do you think you could shoe- horn in a Hi-Po V6? Overall the car is a blast to drive and handles like a dream. I would much rather own this than a Miata. (I'm an American) The dealership is great to deal with and I am pleased.

I loved this car the first second I laid eyes on it. My first problem began at 3500 miles and the latest just started at 22,000 miles. The list of items that have required service on the car: radio, leaky trunk, frayed convertible top, noisy top after replacement, a/c (3x), rear differential (still makes a LOT of noise), stuck accelerator. This car is beautiful but the engine, transmission and basic build are EXTREMELY problematic. Pontiac will NOT stand behind their product and have given me nothing but grief. Please think twice before buying!

This Car is still a head turner 1 yr after purchase, great styling, although the front end of the car is cute (not aggressive). Fun car on open roads, performance is good, would like a little more zip. Comfortable for a 2 hour drive, nothing more. Interior styling is average with cheap looking dash and door materials. Overall the concern to buyers is (practical). You cannot even haul a load of groceries. The car is always fun to drive and I anticipate this to be a body style that time does not dull. The aftermarket parts are becoming more prevalent and you can easily customize engine and styling to your liking. Rear wheel drive is always fun.

This is the most fun car I've ever driven. It gets looks left and right, everyone wants to know what kind of car it is. Since there are so few in my city, (around 7) it's like belonging in a secret club. The solstice gets excellent gas mileage, has enough pep to forget its only a 4 cylinder and is so fun to drive that I get excited to drive anywhere.

This car blows away some cars in the same class that cost $20,000 more. This car could easily sell for way more and would still be a good deal. For a two door roadster this car is by far the best looking styling I have seen in years. It makes other two door cars look girly in comparison.

A lot has been said about this car's downfalls. All I know is, when I drive this car, I get excited. I haven't met anyone who hasn't fallen in love with it's looks. Why else would you buy a 2 seat convertible? This car is more fun than when I used to ride a motorcycle. Compare the Solstice to its competitors. For looks, you'll need to compare it to a car nearly three times the price. I love my Solstice!

Bought car 02/06.Good driver but very uncomfortable after 2 hrs.Headrest too forward.No leg room. Computer controls on steering wheel very awkward to use. Must take eyes off road to check instruments. LED's hard to see in sun. No storage for cellphone, garage opener, sunglasses, etc. cup holders useless! Very hard to fall into and out of. Not having cushioned arm rest, my elbow gets sore pretty quick. Great looking car. Handles very good and good performing but needs more power. I dislike mine enough to have only 3370 miles on it.

I have driven the car since 06-06-06. I like the way it handles ice, cornering, passing, and the feel of the road. I was surprised at the power of the 4 banger, without the super-charger. For the price, it is a great buy. I like the way the top folds down and the cleanness of the design with the top down. I wish there was room for more misc. storage, but this is a small thing. I am planning on driving it to Florida in Dec. this will be a good test of the drivability and gas mileage.

I have had this car for 9 months and enjoyed every minute of it. The car drives as well as it looks, the power is adequate, responsiveness is excellent, and the feel of the car to the road is as a sports car should be. I have driven German cars for decades, and am extremely pleased with this automobile, much more so than I expected. I thought it would be a very attractive car that looked good, but drove like any other car. Quite the contary....it is spirited and exciting to own and drive.

This Car was designed for people who love the look of 1950 and early 1960 coupes brought over from Europe. The look says "Lets go out and find a road with curves and hills and see what I can do" as this is not a Corvette and does not claim to be one, but the price should tell you that immediately. The front has the little whisper of the first Corvettes made with the round curves and grille area. I know that almost al are built as manual transmissions, but I live near the city and shifts become laborous in that atmosphere. For a new design and the first year of build GM deserves all the salutes from the buying public. The first Corvettes were beautiful, but road like trucks and rattled.

I bought the Solstice because of its looks -- not because it is a high performance car. I needed a reward for myself -- and it's surpassed my expectations. It is a lot of fun to drive -- very enjoyable. And it evokes great comments. When I'm stopped at a light or getting in and out when parking, many people stop to ask me about the car or to just admire it and tell me that they like it; I've even had several who asked if they could take pictures of the car. One guy, as a stop light light, couldn't stop raving about what it looked like, and said: "If I'd seen this before I ordered my RX-7, I'd never have gotten that." I do enjoy it!!

There are dozens of sport cars on the market, but none come close to offering the most bang for the buck that a Solstice does. GMC has a real winner in the Solstice. Every place that I go, people want to take a closer look at this stylish engineering marval. Having driven a Triumph (TR3) as a young man, the Solstice brings back old memories. The sound of the exhaust, the increase in G's with every shift of the gears, and best of all the 30.7 mpg that I averaged on my last 200 mile road trip. This car is going to be a classic. While some might stash it away as an investment for the future, I bought my Solstice for fun!

For those thinking that this car isn't practical haven't used it as a car to go to/from work. It fits the bill perfectly. And those that are looking for the door lock button, go to the Solstice site and look up a cat named Tweety-he has figured it out. Good guess that GM will be doing this in later machines.

We received our Solstice 12/21/06,1st day of winter Solstice! We love this car.It is bright red and beautiful, handles like a dream, takes curves,etc. with great stability.The radio is great with 6 speakers and XM radio.Everywhere we go, kids from 4 to 80 yrs. old yell "Nice car" or "I like your car" as we are driving down the road. People ask us if we like our car because they are thinking of getting one. Of course, we tell them we love it,and they add "Then we are getting one, too!" These cars sell themselves.The only disadvantage is the small trunk space, but who cares! We have managed just fine! Thanks, Pontiac for a WONDERFUL ride! It makes us smile just getting into it! YAHOO!!

I waited almost a full year, and the wait was well worth it. A great car to drive. Not real practical, but great looks, design, a real roadster. There are some quality issues, poor design of trunkspace, window bottons, some skeekiness with the top down, and wind noise from the windows driving on the highway, but i dont even care. I take my blue solstice for a sat am drive every week, to open her up and enjoy driving and shifting gears. I am now even starting to rev past 4000 rpms, to push the car , and it purrs like a car that cost over $40,000. my only complaint is that the dealer raised the msrp, even though i had a contract priced agreed to last year. Everyone will enjoy this car!!!

When I first saw the ad for the Solstice I knew I just had to have one. It's Bright Red with the black top, with the two tone interior and leather seats. It really hugs the road and the sound system is awesome. It is a real "head turner" and some people think it's a BMW or a new Ferrari design! Now that's a nice thing to hear. :^) Besides hugging the road it has great handling and I find the 2.4L engine has plenty of "get-up and go."

This car is one of the best looking caras on the street right now. It's that eye candy and WOW car that arises every 2 or 3 years, like the PT Cruiser, or the New Bettle or the Mini Cooper. This car is anything but flat. In South Beach at several valet parkings they park this car in front with the ferraris and lamborghinis. This is a bold move and not from ford, this time from GM/ Pontiac. Looks 3 or 4 times it's actual price, girls love it and it's fun to drive, under powered but the fuel economy is awesome. Let's see if the GXP turbo version later 2006 will handle the performance issues. This car is a solid 9.

The Solstice draws stares and starts conversations everywhere I drive. The motor is loud on acceleration with the top up, but with the top down you just hear a nice rumble. The cockpit is small with low access. Comfort is very good. People over six feet tall will have trouble stretching their legs. I find myself looking for reasons to take the Solstice for a spin. The onboard computer rated 20MPG over 4200 mostly city miles. I just took an 800 mile trip through the mountains of New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. The Solstice handled the twisty mountain roads with ease. The Solstice averaged 30 MPG on this mostly highway trip with the top down the whole way.

Fun, crowed pleaser car.

It was hard waiting the 13 weeks to get my 'Deep Blue Baby', but the wait was worth it. I have the most fun driving with the top down...and I don't mind traffic (sometimes) since it gives others the chance to check 'her' out. Love the attention 'she' garners. Hope they keep the production numbers down so that I own something more 'unique' ... and keeps the value up. Just wish there was a door lock button inside the car... that would make much easier access to unlock the passenger door instead of stretching over or fumbling for the remote. Other than that, everything else about the car is an absolute THRILL!!!

However the state side boys finally have an American made car we can all appreciate. I think the automatic is fine.

My wife wanted the Solstice. However, she likes me to drive. Quite frankly, it is a lot more fun to drive than I had anticipated. I'm a longtime motorcycle rider and didn't think a car could be so much fun until now. It's a beautiful car! It's so much fun to drive and it works well. As we had to wait two months longer than expected for delivery, we were becoming impatient and were seriously thinking of the much more expensive BMW Z4. We're sure glad that we waited for the Solstice. The power is enough to be fun but a little more grunt (e.g., a V6) would draw even more excitement for this vehicle. Fuel mileage (29 hwy, 22- 23 town). It's an American company making a great car!

My wife and I love the Solstice. It is a great looking car but NOT an everyday car. Great for weekends and nice days. Automatic transmisions are sorta rare--but we found one and it is nice to have. The car handles extremely well and like all the other reviews state--it gets TONS of looks and stares. Upgraded rims are well worth it becuase it makes it look even sportier. Indeed, they are hard to find, but orders for 2007 can be placed--and I have heard that will have an extra 60 horse. For the price--loaded and upgraded rims, I beleive the car is well worth it.

I've never had more fun driving a car, more complements or looks. Handles awsome,could use more torque for starts slow until you reach about 4k rpm. Information center is nice, make sure to get upgraded stereo if you want any bass, there isnt really much room to put a small sub anywhere. The tranny is a little clunky, but short shifts are fun. The MPG is more like 18/24.5 on the freeway, I don't think I've ever gotten more than 25 except going downhill. Cheap plastic int. and rubber seals. Turns and handles like a champ. Biggest drawback is absolutley not room for anything, so don't pick anyone up from the airport or have more than one friend!!

I could not be more pleased with my Solstice. Now, I am not a car nut, knowing all the tech jargon, but I can tell you this is a fun car to drive, and the style, design and grace are over the top. I have people straining their necks to see what I am driving. I have perfect strangers stop me and ask about the car. I parked next to a Boxster, and someone came up to me and said he would take the solstice over the Box any day. The handling is great, you are the road. OK, It doesn't have the zip of those costing $15,000- $20,000 more, and the cup holders set behind you are stupid. But the non auto top is easy to put down and back up. Best car for the money I have ever bought.

I know, Miata keeps winning the performance tests. Well, they've also had 10-12 years to get it right. the Solstice is the most highly tested new vehicle in recent years. if the 2006 was up against the '05 mazda, Sol would win hands down. Mazda knew Pontiac was putting this baby out, so Mazda beefed up the engine. Pontiac is doing that next year. Mazda hired the guy who designed the Solstice.. body change for Miata in the near future? This is becoming a true rivalry.

Picked up in Wisconsin and immediately left for Georgia. Not designed for a long trip, but FUN anyway. I tried the Mazda and this one has a LOT more leg room for me personally. Also, there is a ton more head room than the Mazda. This car is a load of fun to drive. Especially with the top down. I'd agree that the interior is a little cheesy and clumsy. Exterior is great. This is the first GM vehicle that I've ever bought (Currently own 4) that met the EPA rating as listed on the window. Got about 32 on the long trip from Wisconsin. For daily cummuting in Atlanta traffic, I've averaged just shy of 21.

I bought this car in January and have enjoyed it more every time I drive it. It handles very well and has sufficient power. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN store some things in the trunk...small soft things. My only slight complaint is that there is no hole big enough to hold a cell phone or ipod near the center console. Overall and excellent car though.

This car is a blast to drive. It handles beautifully, as if you are driving on rails. The ride is not too harsh as in a Porche - this is a daily driver.

When I first saw the Solstice at the dealership I knew that the disappontments with previous attempts to purchase one were rewarded with my patience. Just walking around the vehicle was a stunning experience. Pontiac outdid itself on the styling of the fantastic car. I had seen many photos of it but when I saw it in person there was no question in my mind that this was the car for me. I call it the poor mans Corvette. After driving it I bought it no matter what it cost. Great Sports Car.

This has been a great car to drive so far and turns a lot of heads. Handling is great & very tight, but gas mileage is worse than I expected. The convertible is easy to operate. The stick is not smooth to shift at times but OK otherwise (don't expect a Porsche feel). I'm glad I bought it and I've had a Corvette before. This is more fun and looks even better.

Also asked what it is, which is disappointing because I have worked for GM for 33 yrs & GM has not advertised this car at all, no one knows what it is. The body design is beautiful, GM has done a Good Thing with the design of this. The ride is excellent for the small size, I attribute to the large 18 In. wheels on it.

I may have been the first to take one of these beauties on a long distance road trip. No matter what anyone says, this is NOT a vehicle for such an excursion. MI-FL-MI was the selected loop. While in FL, it was the perfect ride. Top down, high sun, friendly girls....it was all good. Exiting the car at rest areas & having my legs spaz around like I was having a seizure might have been amusing to onlookers, but not to me. Am I glad I bought this "Child of Lutz"? You bet I am!

The Pontiac Soltice is the most fun I have had, driving a car. I didn't know how to drive stick shift when I got it, but it was so easy to learn, took me a couple of days. I like the fact that the red line for the rpms is high (7,000). I previously owned a Pontiac Grand Am GT which was a 3.1 V6 engine and it doesnt hold a candle to the Soltice performance wise. The bigger wheels and tight suspension makes you feel like your in a race car, and for the price you can't beat it.

We got a Solstice for my wife, She totally loves it. The dealership called as soon as they had one the color she wanted. Picked it up that evening, rode home with the heat on and the top down. I took it in for its first service today, the car is great, a lot of fun to drive and people stop and look when we go by. Amazingly quiet with the top down, I was expecting way more noise. Hug's the road, just a fun car to drive on a curvy road or in and out of traffic.

It was worth the wait.....

This car outshines anything I've driven or even seen on the market,GM really went above, and why to even compare to the others is silly. It handles as close and my 1981 corvette,easier to park than a vette, and the gas hand seems to never move. The innovative features are so easy to operate and storage is just enough for a road trip. This car is Blows away any other car in my book! The seats are so comfty and plenty of leg room and head room, it's just a stylish beauty and I predict it will hold its value,we will look back on it like people look at Corvettes now in 10 to 20 yrs--and WHAT a GREAT price--I just LOVE mine.

I just love this car! I just turned 40 and this car is turning heads daily! Someone stops me to ask about it all the time. Nobody knows what it is; a Porsche, BMW, Jag? It looks much more expensive than it is. Love the styling, the way the interior just wraps around you and the when the top is down I'm in heaven! My husband is so jealous, but hey, he has his Harley, and now I have mine! Hair in the wind, seats two and has just about as much cargo space! It is so much fun to drive! My only complaint is the lack of trunk space, but that hasn't stopped me from Costco runs! You'd be surprised how much it can actually hold! To sum it up, GREAT car, much better than the Miata!

I fell in love with the boby style then when i got the car, i fell in love with it even more. It handles great. Stops on a dime and the looks i get from other people is well worth everything. If you haven't bought one yet then shame on you, but good for me.

This car is hot.... She turns heads everywhere she goes. She has better curves than alot of models. My wife took it to wash and a guy stopped to ask her what kind of car it was and said he had never seen one. She said it was his lucky day. While still trying to dry the car off a girl and guy apologized for staring and she that was ok because 3 fellas across the street were doing the same. Great Car!!!!

I bought my Soltice in Mexico City. It was one of only 5 to be sold at the Pontic Dealership there. I own the only black Soltice imported here. Visually it is probably the most spectacular and popular vehicle in Acapulco today. Other exotic cars pull up to me on the street inquiring as to where they can purchase one. It has good takeoff speed, I find it comfortable to drive. But more than this I find my Soltice to a blast to drive. I bought it two weeks before my 53rd birthday and feel like I did when I owned a 1967 sunbeam tiger back in the days when i was a kid. Thank you Pontiac. I am looking forward to the 2007 Solstice coming up.

This car made my man's head turn like I have never before witnessed, he actually turned around in the middle of the street to go to the dealership and look at it, and 30 minutes later he was kissing his car good bye and vibrating with the excitment of driving this car...and I am not kidding!!!! He has not gotten out of it except to sleep, the first few days I think he actually spent 36 hours in the seat, incredible!!!! now all I know is there is another woman to contend with...this car is his baby, he gets stopped EVERYWHERE.....even at the Nissan dealership where his son was looking at a Z...the people all asked about HIS car fabulous!!!!

OH MY GOD. In 2002 I was devastated when Pontiac stopped making the Trans Am, but HELLLLOOOO Solstice. Sure it doesn't have the muscle power of the TA but so what. There is not a better way to feel as one with your car and the road then this sporty little roadster. I'm hooked.

Forget the small storage space and all the other minor complaints...it's not a $35,000 sports car! What it is, is a car that is beautiful to look at and fun to drive. I've had the car for about a month and put about 1000 miles on it. The pick-up is ample the ride is what you'd expect in a roadster...the handling is great. You can't beat it for about $24,000 with most options. The only thing I wish...is for the weather to get warm, so the top can come down. It's a fantastic car!!

Had the car for a month, average 24 mpg driving in mix conditions. Very happy with it. Handles great. Seating is very comfortable especially compared to other 2 seater convertibles. Monsoon sound rocks. Power is plenty for my type of driving. Raising/lowering the top is easy and takes about 30 seconds. I have been able to carry groceries, just not Costco shopping.

This is one outstanding car with fantastic handling. Currently getting 28 MPG on the road with around 20 MPG in town with an average of 24.5 MPG overall. I have found out that the car runs better using 93 octane gasoline. Have a total of 900 miles after 3 weeks of driving. Seats are very comfortable but as reported the trunk has limited space. With top up I am able to get 3 large duffel type bags and one large soft sided hanging bag, enough for my wife and I to have a long weekend. With top down, there is enough space for 2 small duffel bags. I am using the car as a daily driver and regardless of weather it handles great.

Just brought it home. At 6' tall and 184 lbs it's a bit tight in the driver seat, but there is plenty of headroom with the top up. Engine is a bit buzzy and the shifter vibrates when in gear but shifts smoothly. Drove it conservatively for the 250 mile trip home and got 29 mpg! Handles like a go kart. Stopped for gas and two women came up and talked to me about the car. The first insisted that it was a Porsche. Talk about a chick magnet!!

I have had my Solstice for 4 weeks, my first manual car and I love it. The car completely wraps around you when you are in it. Completely comfortable, the suspension is unbeatable. After test driving Mini's and other small cars this one definatly passed the test for comfortable driving. I love the looks I get driving down the freeway, people slow down so you can pass them and then speed up so they can see what your driving!! Excellent roadster, I can't wait till summer so I can put the top down and really test her out!

Don't let anyone find out 'bout this car. Ain't got any trunk space. People slide up to you at a red light and whip out their cell phone cameras to capture images of the svelt lines she shows. It's a real pain. People even get out of their cars when you gas up to take a tour of the machine. I mean leave me alone. I don't need this. My job already slaps too much attention and pressure on me. I don't need this when I drive down to the local 7/11. Other owners say the same thing. Help us. Bad mouth this car. Please... Please... I mean it's an American car... Please help us.... Trash it... O.K.......Please....

I've had my Solstice one month today and I have over 2100 miles on the odometer. The best 2100 miles I've ever driven. I love my car, all my friends love my car and my wife likes my car. I'm also meeting a lot of new people because of my car. This car does not drive like you would expect a small car to drive. The stability is great and it sure does hold those curves. There is not much trunk storage space but who cares! I just love to drive those back roads and stay off the freeways. I thought that it would bother me to have to drive my new car so much but I'm having trouble staying out of it! I look forward to those warm, sunny winter days so that I can put the top down and cruise!

I have driven Pontiac for over 15 years. I think the Solstice is one of the sexy car they made. She smooth, she hugs the curves, and I love the way drive and all the looks I get from men as well as women when I put up or stop at a red light. I like fast sexy cars, at first I was a little hesitant about the speed being that it was 4 cyl, but after her for a spin around the block, I realize the speed she had and I love this car. The way she looks and the way she drive.

This is a fantastic little car...Body style blows all others off the road. Performance ... great thru 4th gear .. (to 85). 5th gear to 105 might take a few miles ... LOL ... but I am not in it for the speed (I am 65) I have had people follow me to a stop to find out about this car ... many thumbs up on it on the highway ... I it the MG of the future..To grocery shop you need to leave the top up .. NO TRUNK space ... or put groceries in the other seat. Now I am still trying to figure how you get the battery out of this car someday..needs more speakers...I love this car.

I have had my Solstice for several weeks and truly enjoy it. The car's build quality is the best I've seen in an American car. It handles extremely well and has more than adequate power. I test drove a Porshe Boxster, Mini Cooper S convertible, Mustang convertible, but decided to buy the Solstice instead. I'm not sorry. The car is gorgeous, particularly with the top down and is very fun to drive, especially on twisty roads. It is a bargain at the list price, but many dealers are charging much more.

I got one by checking all the dealerships. Mine was pretty much fully loaded with options. What a car!! Forget all the other brands, you'd have to pay twice as much to get this anywhere else - way to go GM!!! It drives and feels like a sports car, yet comfortable for tall drivers (I'm 6'1). People stop in awe, others drive closely to check out the brand and even a police officer stopped to ask me about that car. Take all options if possible, it's definitely worth it.

This car is just plain FUN! While the interior is by no means luxury...it is very comfortable, exterior lines are outstanding! Handling is phenomenal ... just a slight movement on the wheel gives instant response on the road. It feels that you are glued to the road with the 18" tires. Great car for an even greater price!

Everyone has been in a daze about the Solstice. It's not nearly as good as the 2006 MX-5, but my daughter wanted one. I will probably be getting myself a MX-5 when they get the one in i want. Anyway, the only things the Solstice has is great looks. It's a little softer in suspension than the MX- 5, but it is comfortable. The worst thing about the Solstice, in my opinion, is the wind with the top down. Oh, trying to take the top down and then putting it back up is just to technical. Solstice 6 - MX-5 10. I wish i would have bought a MX-5.

Truly a significant vehicle. It is tops in design. I loved the original Corvette, Mustang,T-Bird, and Cougar Convertible design and this is the most significant since then. It is a pleasure to drive. There is no perfect vehicle, but with the styling this one is a knockout. I am 6'6" and I fit decently in it. I tried the Miata when they first came out and there was no way I could fit in it. I bought the vehicle in Red at no extra cost. I had originally set myu eyes on a basic PT cruiser Conv. in Red, but they don't make it in Red, you have to pay an extra $6000 to get it in the tourning class. Hats off to Bob Lutz and Pontiac for a fabulous and resonably priced Roadster.

I can't say enough about this car. When I walked into the detail bay to pick him up I almost fell to my knees when I first saw him. It is plainly one of the most beautiful cars I have seen. The fit and finish were excellent. Handling was great and response was good. Definitely a 10 in my book.
