  Love my Sol - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By rosebud - November 27 - 8:50 am

  I know, Miata keeps winning the performance tests. Well, theyve 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.

  A real head turner - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Jim - November 22 - 2:06 pm

  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.

  the car my wife does not let me drive - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By L.BROUSSARD - October 5 - 9:06 am

  Very proud owner of this fine looking car. The car gets a lot of stares male and female. Its the type of car that is new to the eye. Owned the car for three days and already someone was wanting to use it for a Mardi Gras parade.

  Early Solstice Review - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Billdaman - September 13 - 11:03 pm

  This Convertible has it all. To view this beauty from a distance with its flowing lines and growling grill tells you in your first glance that this car is destined to be a classic. Enough cannot be said about this car as an embodiment of a "has it all" modern roadster. Its interior is a beautifuly trimed cockpit with high quality fit finish and materials. This is a car that is the fulfullment of my dream to own a true performance roadster, that is most importantly American through and through. At just under 20 K there is NOTHING that can come even close. I have driven the Solstices competition from Honda, Mazda and BMW. They cant match this cars looks or performace at the price

  What a blast to drive! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By ilovmysolstice - August 27 - 9:33 pm

  Got the Solstice about 2 weeks ago and love it! I was going to sell it, but have decided that its not worth the extra cash to wait until next year to get another. The car handles as well as much more expensive sports cars, looks much better than most costing far more, turns heads like you wouldnt believe. I have had a few people follow me home to ask about it! The shifting is smooth and the throttle response is immediate. It could use a little more umph, but all in all is plenty quick. The people that havent heard about it cant believe what I paid. They usually guess in the low to mid 30s. Buy one!

  I love it! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Jen - August 25 - 10:23 pm

  I absolutely love this car! Everyone stops dead in their tracks and just stares! Everyone thinks its a Porsche...I think its a lot sexier than a Porsche personally! I get harrassed at stop lights, the gas station, you name it. I hope nobody else buys this car Im having too much fun showing it off to virgin eyes. :)

  Its so cute! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By CJ - August 16 - 5:30 am

  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 Im 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 hasnt stopped me from Costco runs! Youd be surprised how much it can actually hold! To sum it up, GREAT car, much better than the Miata!

  Fun and style - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Ray Phillips - July 17 - 5:40 pm

  Yes I dont have many miles yet. But what a beauty.She has the lines that have other more costly sports car drivers looking. A police chief while we both were getting gas stopped over and marveled at the design. Im not hoping to see him soon under differant conditions. However the state side boys finally have an American made car we can all appreciate. I think the automatic is fine. This feature helped me sell the better half on the absolute need to aquire this work of art.

  Better than I imagined - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By pmack - July 16 - 1:23 am

  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, its style and looks still turn heads just about anywhere you go. So dont expect to get lost in traffic. Secondly, its 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 its 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!

  Nice Ride - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Two Dice - July 15 - 12:03 pm

  What a fun car to drive. If youre going to use the Solstice as an every day car, think twice. If its for weekends only, go for it!! Great to hit the open road with the top down and music up. If you dont like attention, dont buy it. Turns heads everywhere you go!! Ive always wanted a two seater and this is my first. Im glad I waited!!
