  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.

  After 1 year and 12,000 miles car runs, feels and looks great. Not one Problem to date. Still as much fun to drive as the first time. Great handling and driveablity.

  My Wifes Solstice - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Thomas Meyer - November 9 - 2:40 pm

  My wife wanted the Solstice. However, she likes me to drive. Quite frankly, it is a lot more fun to drive than I had anticipated. Im a longtime motorcycle rider and didnt think a car could be so much fun until now. Its a beautiful car! Its so much fun to drive and it works well. As we had to wait two months longer than expected for delivery, we were becoming impatient and were seriously thinking of the much more expensive BMW Z4. Were sure glad that we waited for the Solstice. The power is enough to be fun but a little more grunt (e.g., a V6) would draw even more excitement for this vehicle. Fuel mileage (29 hwy, 22- 23 town). Its an American company making a great car!

  puts the fun back in driving - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By nick stratso - October 29 - 3:03 pm

  The US auto industry has finally designed and manufactured an automobile that is fun to drive and is affordable. I cut my teeth on TR3’s and this has the same feel with reliability. I can slide around corners again.

  The Solstice Rocks - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By kevin - September 1 - 7:10 am

  Overall I love the car, however GM should have worked on expanding the leg room for the driver and the passenger. The seven speaker sound system is great to listen to and even though its a four cyclinder, it still has some pickup to it.

  Fun Car - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Jack - August 30 - 9:26 pm

  It is a great car to drive. People ask questions about it all the time. They are always saying how good looking the car is. It has plenty of power, and it handles very nicely.

  Pontiac Solstice - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

  Truly a significant vehicle. It is tops in design. I loved the original Corvette, Mustang,T-Bird, and Cougar Convertible design and this is the most significant since then. It is a pleasure to drive. There is no perfect vehicle, but with the styling this one is a knockout. I am 66" and I fit decently in it. I tried the Miata when they first came out and there was no way I could fit in it. I bought the vehicle in Red at no extra cost. I had originally set myu eyes on a basic PT cruiser Conv. in Red, but they dont make it in Red, you have to pay an extra $6000 to get it in the tourning class. Hats off to Bob Lutz and Pontiac for a fabulous and resonably priced Roadster.

  Whoa! Pontiac hit a home run with this! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Jeff - August 8 - 10:30 pm

  Im not one that likes to attract attention with the car I drive, so its a little tough answering all the questions and turning down the offers people make to buy my car in the grocery store parking lot! Fun car, Im looking forward to the summer!

  Could be better !! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By John - August 6 - 6:26 am

  I purchased this car not long ago and let me tell you it did NOT completely satisfy me. It has good handling and it looks impressive but it has too many details I didnt like. It has bad wind control,very small trunk, poor turn performance, bad steering wheel, interior is plastic, a hard-to- understand top. It also has just a few of the standard features and even those features are very common and basic. The car has good brakes though and it seems reliable on that. I also found the engine to kind of shake when i shifted gears. As my last comment i would advice that you also try others before buying it never hurts to stay informed. I would rate this car at a 7.7 out of 10.

  I love the drive, very fun. It looks much more expensive than it is. I get asked all the time how much it was. Also asked what it is, which is disappointing because I have worked for GM for 33 yrs & GM has not advertised this car at all, no one knows what it is. The body design is beautiful, GM has done a Good Thing with the design of this. The ride is excellent for the small size, I attribute to the large 18 In. wheels on it.
