  Nice ride - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Eic - March 12 - 1:23 am

  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.

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

  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.

  What a blast to drive! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

  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 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!

  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!

  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!!

  I have been wanting this car ever since it was shown as a concept in 2002. I put a deposit down 1/17/05 and took delivery 10/17/05. 9 month wait. It is everything I had hoped for and more. Its hard to put it away for the night, I want to keep on driving. 500 miles in the first 3 days of ownership and I have hardly been out of town. This is the best looking and driving automobile I have ever owned. (Ive owned over 30 in my 46 years of driving)
