  One of 3 Roadsters I have owned - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Critter - May 14 - 6:16 am

  This is my 3rd roadster. Bug-eyed Healy and a Sunbeam tiger before this. Both of them beat me to death and I loved them. This car rides well, is comfortable (1100 miles in 2 days to the 1st annual convention) and I was not worn out. Have averaged 26 mpg over the 13,000 miles I have put on in a year, with a high of 30 mpg in the flatlands of the midwest. Lowest was 23 mpg running the dragons tail. This car is a blast on the twisties, and fun around time. Now if people would just quit asking what kind of car it is.

  I love my Solstice! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Jeff - May 12 - 12:53 am

  A lot has been said about this cars downfalls. All I know is, when I drive this car, I get excited. I havent met anyone who hasnt fallen in love with its looks. Why else would you buy a 2 seat convertible? This car is more fun than when I used to ride a motorcycle. Compare the Solstice to its competitors. For looks, youll need to compare it to a car nearly three times the price. I love my Solstice!

  It is a number 60 in the first year of production - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Rich - April 21 - 12:21 am

  Love the style, very reliable handles great. Stero wonderful the looks of this car is priceless, and I feel like a millionaire driving the car in the Hamptons. People stop to say that I have a beautiful car. I really love it. Never a problem right now I have 8800 miles. Very low. But I intend to use it much more this summer.

  Toy Fun Car - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Chuck - April 7 - 12:00 am

  I picked up my Sly Solstice last week. It is all that I expected. It is fun to drive and handles fantistic. It certainly gets the looks . It is a head turner. It gives the appearance of an exotic expensive sports car at a bargain price. Very happy with this product. Why is GM in trouble when you have models like this coming out.

  Solstice - Great Design, Good Performnce - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Don R - March 7 - 7:06 pm

  This car is an excellent value. At about $23,000 loaded its got the looks, the performance and the styling that made GM great in the sixties and seventies. Its fun to drive. Excellent pick-up and acceleration. The steering is tight. Love the 18" wheels. At 63" tall, I was very comfortable in the drivers seat. Lots of room for a small car. Very little wind noise due to the aerodynamics of the hood, the higher door height, and the rear truck lid design. Top plus is the clamshell design of the rear trucklid. All controls are within easy reach with great visibility. Above average sound system with XM radio for the long trips.

  Solstice ex - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Kokomo - February 15 - 3:56 pm

  I have driven the car since 06-06-06. I like the way it handles ice, cornering, passing, and the feel of the road. I was surprised at the power of the 4 banger, without the super-charger. For the price, it is a great buy. I like the way the top folds down and the cleanness of the design with the top down. I wish there was room for more misc. storage, but this is a small thing. I am planning on driving it to Florida in Dec. this will be a good test of the drivability and gas mileage.

  What a beauty! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Shawn - December 18 - 3:30 pm

  My wife and I love the Solstice. It is a great looking car but NOT an everyday car. Great for weekends and nice days. Automatic transmisions are sorta rare--but we found one and it is nice to have. The car handles extremely well and like all the other reviews state--it gets TONS of looks and stares. Upgraded rims are well worth it becuase it makes it look even sportier. Indeed, they are hard to find, but orders for 2007 can be placed--and I have heard that will have an extra 60 horse. For the price--loaded and upgraded rims, I beleive the car is well worth it.

  Great new car - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By CG - October 7 - 5:06 pm

  Had the car for a month, average 24 mpg driving in mix conditions. Very happy with it. Handles great. Seating is very comfortable especially compared to other 2 seater convertibles. Monsoon sound rocks. Power is plenty for my type of driving. Raising/lowering the top is easy and takes about 30 seconds. I have been able to carry groceries, just not Costco shopping.

  Iraqi reward - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By CavalryScott - July 28 - 3:06 am

  I saw the reviews before the car was produced. I knew I had to have one. I waited 8 months and it was worth it. It screams at me to drive it. The most fun car Ive ever owned or driven. Car sat for a year in the garage while I went back to Iraq. Now Im making up for lost time. The perfect weekend toy.

  best car out of 160 - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By jonna - July 15 - 6:16 am

  My husband and I have owned 160 cars in the 30 yrs that we have been married. The Solstice is BY FAR our favorite. We still have a Mercedes 560SL and and Infinite QX4, but I will NEVER let go of my little Solstice. Best fun for your bucks, well built and so far 10k miles worth of reliablilty. Good move Pontiac!!!! Nice to buy American again!!
