  • The best car since the 65 cobra - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    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 -

    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.

    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!

    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 -

    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 -

    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.

  • Great car!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    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.

  • My new toy - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    I debated whether to go with the Solstice or new MX5. Now that I have received the Solstice Im so glad I decided on it. The car is exceptional in every aspect.

    This is one fun car and it is a definite attention getter. It takes the boredom out of driving. This car takes you back to the grass roots of driving, unlike some of those big "boats". You actually drive this car.
