  07 GXP - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By ¿spoom - November 22 - 5:10 pm

  Too early to tell, as I dropped it off at the dealer last week after 11 days because of an intermittent "no starter when you turn the key" problem. Ill test it some more when I get the car back ;) Overall, this is a fun car to drive. The 2.0 turbo took care of the weak performance that kept me from buying the first years model. Handling is on par with cars costing $10k+ more (Ive driven a Crossfire some). Even with cold tires & road on a 11 °F day this thing road like it was on rails-the suspension set-up is perfect,IMHO. I constantly found myself wishing I could reach the seat angle knob while driving but that would take a skinny-armed contortionist.

  Reliability needs to be #1 for USA!! - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By Hauss - January 17 - 3:40 am

  Well weve had this car for 17 months and the darn thing has visited the dealership 22 times. Weve had the window seals replaced, ring and pinion seal replaced, axle seals replaced, steering wheel controls replaced, top worked on countless times, and now the transmission is making noise. This is ONE fun car to drive, get many comments on it. People are always asking what is this? Do you like it? I have a hard time telling them. This is the last American made car I will purchase. We had 3 Infinitis prior to this, never had a problem. Now this, due to me wife just had to have it. I wish they would take it back and put it where the sun doesnt shine. Its just not worth the hassle.

  Too much fun - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By Onefunponcho - August 24 - 2:30 pm

  Pros: The car is the best bang for the buck!! Grips the road like its on rails. Flashes right to whatever speed you need. the small turbo engine makes great power yet still great on gas. The best of everything. The auto tranny shifts like clock work.The premium sound upgrade is dandy with tune you can feel! Cons: A bit less hard plastic in the interior would be great. The exhaust is just way to quiet. And the trunk space it tiny. Hints: Two soft sided plain 24 inch duffels are ideal for the storage compartment. You must pack thrifty on long trips.

  7/8-Scale Corvette - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By jdII - January 23 - 6:56 pm

  Ridiculous good looks attract a crowd everywhere I go. Flip off the traction control and make Corvette-like tire smoke. Enduraflex panels make parking lots non-scary. The Eco-Tech Turbo motor is impressive and pulls hard at virtually all RPMs. Very neutral handling posture especially at the limits, impressive brakes. In the final analysis, think of this car as a 7/8-scale Corvette. Its sexy, overt, a little louder and ready to eat GT Mustangs at the next stoplight. Despite the bravado, it is civil enough my wife can drive it and enjoy the cars appeal. Would like to see a few more exterior visual cues to differentiate the GXP from the normally aspirated model.

  More than a navy blue toy - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By Ben Painter - June 7 - 11:40 am

  We purchased car new with the notion it would a toy for us retired folk. We live mid-way between the Carolina coast and Blue Ridge and soon learned that, despite small size, it is a competent and comfortable. The GXP is equally at home going up steep, curvy grades or cruising flat interstates. It is short on luggage space but, carrying only essentials is a worth- while trade for the fun. First gear is a bit short and abrupt for stop-go traffic. Third is wonderfully long which makes city driving easy. Fourth is good to 65 MPH. The car communicates. Dont look at the tach; listen to engine, feel with the seat of your pants and feet. It will tell you what it likes.

  By garync - April 29 - 8:20 pm

  I drove my GXP very conservatively for the first 500 miles, but after that I opened her up. I am amazed at the power and handling for a car in this price range. I have owned several Corvettes and a big-block SS Camaro. Obviously the GXP is a different type of can, but it is a blast to drive.

  Lots of fun - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By J - March 5 - 8:10 am

  The car is outstanding and lots of fun to drive. This is definitely a roadster true to its sportscar heart. It feels like and drives like the experience you are looking for. If you want something to turn heads and zip around town, this is the best bet for your money. Dont be looking for a daily driver or a traveling vehichle. You can squeeze golfclubs in if you buy a small bag, but dont expect to be carrying luggage or moving large items from home.

  Solstice - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By Dale Devol - July 12 - 12:26 am

  Have been driving for the past 11 months and love it. Really turns heads when you drive down the road, top up or down! Handles beautifully but not happy with shift from 2nd to third. Only wish I had waited until the turbo came out.
