  • On my third battery in shop now - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    Its a sharp looking car and I did really love it. But, its been in the shop three times ( its there now). Its just stopped running when I was going down the road. Wouldnt start the next time and the last time all the light started flashing and it died. Next time it will be a lemon and Ill get an attorney. It just cant be trusted. Im a women and I dont want to be stranded.

    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 Ive been told. Major head turner, top up or down.

    Dont let anyone find out bout this car. Aint 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. Its 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 dont need this. My job already slaps too much attention and pressure on me. I dont 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 its an American car... Please help us.... Trash it... O.K.......Please....

  • 1 after purchase thoughts - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    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.

  • One Awesome Ride - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I cant 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.

  • My Perfect Little Baby - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    My dad first introduced me to this car- he works for General Motors in Detroit, MI. I am so in love with it, and it is such a great price for what you get!!! I would tell everyone to get one!

  • Nice ride - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    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 collectors item, its fun to drive, easy to maintain and affordable. No disappointments. A cool car and I just love it in RED.

  • Love it!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    A fun to drive, timelessly styled 2 seater roadster. Nothing else like it on the road, and it turns heads wherever I go.

  • Solstice Rocks for the Price - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    This car is so fun to drive. I had to wait 7 months to get the car, but was worth it. EVERYWHERE I go, I get stopped and asked about the car. Sometimes I pretend I am on my phone because the attention is endless!
