  • Ridiculously good for the money - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    This car blows away some cars in the same class that cost $20,000 more. This car could easily sell for way more and would still be a good deal. For a two door roadster this car is by far the best looking styling I have seen in years. It makes other two door cars look girly in comparison.

  • My American English Roadster - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I have long wished for an affordable English Roadster - 2 seats, impractical, zoomy, fun car. Most of those have left the realm of affordability. So after test driving 5 times, I took a chance on this car. No regrets at all. I love how it drives, I love how zoomy it is. There are so few out there that you dont see many on the road and people think it is WAY more expensive a sports car than it actually is. Heads turn wherever I go and people approach me at the gas station to talk about it. Since it is my fun car, I do not worry much about the storage capacity (there is almost none). If you are looking for something to cruise in, run about on a beautiful day or drive to work (and then daydream about leaving for the day) than this is your car. ON THE OTHER HAND - I wish GM had put a little nicer fit and finish in the interior. The hard plastics are a bummer and the leather isnt great. The top is a little wonky to get up and down, but when stowed the car looks fantastic. I have had the car for over a year now and have only had to change the oil.

  • I just got it - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I have had mine only 1 week now, so some of the above questions couldnt be 10s only cause I havent owned it long enough to test the gas mileage. But I plan to do so. Loving this car in automatic transmission. I bought it with 8500 miles on it fully loaded for a steal. Mine is an eye catching agressive Victory Red, driving it reminds me of the Pontiac Fiero I once owned. This car far exceeds that car. Maybe next years vacation will be me and my Solstice making the run from Boston to Phoenix.

  • Fun, crowed pleaser car. - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    This is a fun car to drive and gets plenty of attention on the road. Top is a bite of a challenge to fit in trunk when new. Glad to hear they have a better engine option now. The car looks like it can go.... but is slow with the base engine.

  • This car is crazy - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    I love this car there is only one down side to it.That is that there are only two seats.

  • Love my Solstice!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    When I first saw the ad for the Solstice I knew I just had to have one. Its Bright Red with the black top, with the two tone interior and leather seats. It really hugs the road and the sound system is awesome. It is a real "head turner" and some people think its a BMW or a new Ferrari design! Now thats a nice thing to hear. :^) Besides hugging the road it has great handling and I find the 2.4L engine has plenty of "get-up and go."

  • The One Year Wait - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    When I first saw the Solstice at the dealership I knew that the disappontments with previous attempts to purchase one were rewarded with my patience. Just walking around the vehicle was a stunning experience. Pontiac outdid itself on the styling of the fantastic car. I had seen many photos of it but when I saw it in person there was no question in my mind that this was the car for me. I call it the poor mans Corvette. After driving it I bought it no matter what it cost. Great Sports Car.

  • BUY THIS CAR! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    Amazing vehicle. It inspires envy everywhere it goes. Its acceleration is impressive, to a point (about 85 km/ h). On the highway its a typically gutless 4 cylinder, but it IS a roadster after all. Loving this car is easy, just drop the top on a warm summer evening and youll understand. One more point! Dont let ANYONE tell you that you cant put groceries or anything else in the trunk. YOU CAN! Besides, if youre worried about fitting cargo in a car like this, go buy a mini van old man.

  • Love this Car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I ordered this car in June, and still have no firm date as to when it will arrive. So being the impatient kind, I started looking for one on E-Bay. I got a great deal on one of the first 1000. This car is all and more than what I expected. Everywhere I go people ask what it is and where they can get one! I bought this as a fun, cruise around every now and then car, but I just cant stand to park it!!! If you are looking for a great looking small car, but dont need much storage space, this car is for you.

  • Best new sportscar in years - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
