  do not buy this car - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By barefoot67 - March 2 - 12:06 pm

  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.

  Driving excitement? - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Darkshadow - February 15 - 9:03 am

  Ive 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 dont think Ive 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 dont pick anyone up from the airport or have more than one friend!!

  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. Despite being a small vehicle, it is very solid and safe feeling. My sister bought a new Mazda MX-5; I have driven it and prefer the feel of the Solstice.

  The best car since the 65 cobra - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Linda - January 30 - 10:23 am

  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 havent bought one yet then shame on you, but good for me.

  The only Soltice in Acapulco, Mexico - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Joseph Lewis - December 7 - 10:10 am

  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.

  Solstice Rocks! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Solticeman42 - November 29 - 8:10 pm

  The soltice is by far in a class by itself sure to become a classic. I have taken it down Califronias highway 1 and people love it! The car is cool with the top up or down. Truly a fun car to drive and the fact that its American Rocks!

  Midnight Blue Solstice - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By DavenJacey - November 4 - 11:20 am

  Great car...no complaints. Its our reset button on weekends. Only gripe is some wind noise around the seals at the windows when traveling over 55. Otherwise, this car is amazing, and it turns heads! No regrets, especially for the price.

  Have had my solstice for one year as of yesterday. A blast to drive and a very fun car. A great hit with girls. Seems to be a chick magnet. Get stopped wherever I am at and ask about the car. It is unit 000085 and love it. Would never sell it.

  Awesome Car!!! Unmatched deal! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Dan - September 22 - 12:30 pm

  I got one by checking all the dealerships. Mine was pretty much fully loaded with options. What a car!! Forget all the other brands, youd 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 (Im 61). 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, its definitely worth it.

  I love this car!!!!! It is awesome!!!!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By iluvmysolstice - August 29 - 4:30 am

  Just received my vehicle a few days ago. i pre-ordered the solstice having only seen and heard about it. now having driven it, i am definitely not disappointed. the solstice handles like a dream. Having been an owner of a few miatas, the solstice has converted me to the Pontiac name brand. Comparing the two, the solstice outperforms the miata in acceleration and handling while having much more interior shoulder and hip room. I am planning on purchasing another for my wife when they become more available.
