  • Fun on the cheap - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    Great Styling, low cost sport car. Fun, but unrefined. Noisy Ride

  • Fun, crowed pleaser car. - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    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 made my mans head turn like I have never before witnessed, he actually turned around in the middle of the street to go to the dealership and look at it, and 30 minutes later he was kissing his car good bye and vibrating with the excitment of driving this car...and I am not kidding!!!! He has not gotten out of it except to sleep, the first few days I think he actually spent 36 hours in the seat, incredible!!!! now all I know is there is another woman to contend with...this car is his baby, he gets stopped EVERYWHERE.....even at the Nissan dealership where his son was looking at a Z...the people all asked about HIS car fabulous!!!! I am a Solstice widow now!!

  • Love my Solstice!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

    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.

  • Top Down Fun! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    Fun is the name of the game. You spend all your driving time looking for roads with curves. Of course "Top Down" is the way to go. The interior suffers from a lack of nooks and crannies to put stuff but it is driver fiendly as far as visibility and reach goes. Dont expect off the line screams but the wieght distribution gives you G- force thrills. Have fun!

  • Best new sportscar in years - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -
