  A Fun Car - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Frank Siebke - August 12 - 5:03 pm

  I drive to the extreme and my Solstice makes that driving fun. It maneuvers great in traffic. It has the pick-up I need when moving into traffic and handles like a true roadster. There is some wind noise, but that makes it a roadster, I want to hear and feel the space around me. It is just a fun car to drive, and I love the looks I get when we are on the road.

  most fun to drive in years - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By m brock - June 28 - 3:13 pm

  I waited almost a full year, and the wait was well worth it. A great car to drive. Not real practical, but great looks, design, a real roadster. There are some quality issues, poor design of trunkspace, window bottons, some skeekiness with the top down, and wind noise from the windows driving on the highway, but i dont even care. I take my blue solstice for a sat am drive every week, to open her up and enjoy driving and shifting gears. I am now even starting to rev past 4000 rpms, to push the car , and it purrs like a car that cost over $40,000. my only complaint is that the dealer raised the msrp, even though i had a contract priced agreed to last year. Everyone will enjoy this car!!!

  I love it!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Saul Cohen - June 25 - 10:03 am

  I bought the Solstice because of its looks -- not because it is a high performance car. I needed a reward for myself -- and its surpassed my expectations. It is a lot of fun to drive -- very enjoyable. And it evokes great comments. When Im stopped at a light or getting in and out when parking, many people stop to ask me about the car or to just admire it and tell me that they like it; Ive even had several who asked if they could take pictures of the car. One guy, as a stop light light, couldnt stop raving about what it looked like, and said: "If Id seen this before I ordered my RX-7, Id never have gotten that." I do enjoy it!!

  Great Style Well Built - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Mike Torres - May 30 - 1:13 am

  I love sports cars. When this vehicle was on the drawing boards I kept articles on it. When delivered it fully met my expectations. I purchased mine with a convertible acoustic roof (thick). It drives very quite, has a great stereo system, and handles very well. On turns it hugs the road. I have not had any mechnical issues at all with my car. If you need to make an emergency stop, this car stops very quick with no loss of control. This car handles very well and looks like a corvette from the rear, yet has a european sports look from the front. Depending on the color you pick it can look sporty or luxurious. Only change I would recommend is different daytime dashboard lighting on some gauges

  #937 - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Drex - April 7 - 2:26 pm

  Had my car a little over a week, already have 800 miles on it. Lots of fun on back roads, very little body roll. The monsoon sound system is definitely a worth while option, gives enough kick.

  Pontiac home run - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Bert - March 25 - 5:16 am

  Picked up in Wisconsin and immediately left for Georgia. Not designed for a long trip, but FUN anyway. I tried the Mazda and this one has a LOT more leg room for me personally. Also, there is a ton more head room than the Mazda. This car is a load of fun to drive. Especially with the top down. Id agree that the interior is a little cheesy and clumsy. Exterior is great. This is the first GM vehicle that Ive ever bought (Currently own 4) that met the EPA rating as listed on the window. Got about 32 on the long trip from Wisconsin. For daily cummuting in Atlanta traffic, Ive averaged just shy of 21.

  Really New - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Mike - January 22 - 6:20 pm

  Everyone loves the styling. It is not a blow your head off performance, but it is really fun to drive. I am sure the newer twin turbo would be a barn burner, but I do not need that any more.
