  Two years and love my Solstice - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Mafasa - October 24 - 11:03 pm

  Great car to drive. Most reviews Ive read are on manual transmissions. I ordered an Automatic, hey! Im 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, its 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.

  Simply Put...FUN!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Claudia - August 4 - 7:46 am

  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 dont 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!!!

  Initial impressions - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Mikesan - July 7 - 9:46 am

  Just brought it home. At 6 tall and 184 lbs its 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!!

  The Solstice is an outstanding investment that is REALLY fun to drive. The Solstice is a lot more than I expected and a far better car than the Miata, S200 or even the Z3. Everwhere we go we are stopped by people telling us how beautiful the car is, and its even more fun to drive!

  Phat Girl By Rob - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Rob Laughlin - June 8 - 1:23 pm

  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!!!!

  Here is how I see my car - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By my soul - April 11 - 4:10 am

  OH MY GOD. In 2002 I was devastated when Pontiac stopped making the Trans Am, but HELLLLOOOO Solstice. Sure it doesnt 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. Im hooked.

  SOLSTICE - FUN, FUN, FUN!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By HSFX31A - December 11 - 2:50 am

  The only other sports car (if one can call it that) Ive had was a Lexus SC430. The Solstice is much more fun to drive, much better looking design and gives you the pleasure of driving a vehicle that is one with the road ... a GREAT feel!

  Great car for price - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By John Swanson - November 23 - 9:16 am

  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 doesnt 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.
