  • We love our solstice! Fun and awesome!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    We received our Solstice 12/21/06,1st day of winter Solstice! We love this car.It is bright red and beautiful, handles like a dream, takes curves,etc. with great stability.The radio is great with 6 speakers and XM radio.Everywhere we go, kids from 4 to 80 yrs. old yell "Nice car" or "I like your car" as we are driving down the road. People ask us if we like our car because they are thinking of getting one. Of course, we tell them we love it,and they add "Then we are getting one, too!" These cars sell themselves.The only disadvantage is the small trunk space, but who cares! We have managed just fine! Thanks, Pontiac for a WONDERFUL ride! It makes us smile just getting into it! YAHOO!!

    The Solstice draws stares and starts conversations everywhere I drive. The motor is loud on acceleration with the top up, but with the top down you just hear a nice rumble. The cockpit is small with low access. Comfort is very good. People over six feet tall will have trouble stretching their legs. I find myself looking for reasons to take the Solstice for a spin. The onboard computer rated 20MPG over 4200 mostly city miles. I just took an 800 mile trip through the mountains of New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. The Solstice handled the twisty mountain roads with ease. The Solstice averaged 30 MPG on this mostly highway trip with the top down the whole way.

  • Roadster Fun!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    This is the most fun car I have ever owned or driven. I drove it half way across the country this past summer and just loved it with the top up or down. Fuel economy was up around 29 when I stayed at 55-60 mph. It dropped to around 25-26 when I went 75 thru Oklahoma on the expressway. What as smooth ride! Im keeping this car.

    This is the perfect vehicle to be used for exactly the target of its designers & engineers. A weekend fun car. Not a long distance tourer (trust me, I drove round trip from the Detroit area to Orlando - NOT recommended), not a daily commuter in the Rust Belt.) But for a top down weekend get-away, its GREAT.

  • What a fun automobile with style!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    The car is more than everything Io expected in a roadster. I looked at several, all ore expensive, while they may have had a few more features, the all laked in overall appearance. The interior layut is superb. easy to use and reach controls.

    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....

    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 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!
