  Vroom Vroom - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By GRNNSXE n Cali - July 6 - 2:43 am

  I got my Solstice in January 06, just after my daughter turned 21 years old. Now, its just me and the Chihuahuas. Such a fun, fun car to drive. Heads turn all over the place, especially with the top down. Love the sound that she makes. A neighbor once asked if I had made modifications. Nope I told him, she just purrs like that. Vroom, vroom.

  my baby - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By convertible nut - July 4 - 2:23 am

  Ive been driving my car daily for 2 years and am beginning to have problems with it; more problems than I expected for a relatively new car. This is my 5th convertible to drive - one Corvette, a Cabriolet, and 2 Miatas, and this is by far the least reliable car Ive ever owned in my life. Yes, it looks great. Yes, driving a roadster is fun. Yes, its a guy magnet. But Im even debating to keep my car.

  Long range thoughts - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Larry - May 27 - 10:50 pm

  I may have been the first to take one of these beauties on a long distance road trip. No matter what anyone says, this is NOT a vehicle for such an excursion. MI-FL-MI was the selected loop. While in FL, it was the perfect ride. Top down, high sun, friendly girls....it was all good. Exiting the car at rest areas & having my legs spaz around like I was having a seizure might have been amusing to onlookers, but not to me. Am I glad I bought this "Child of Lutz"? You bet I am! Will I ever ask it to do something it wasnt designed to do again? No way!

  Outstanding! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Bert - May 8 - 12:50 pm

  I have been following this car since it was first introduced by pontiac. They are very difficult to find and I was lucky enough to find a vehicle that was ordered by someone who decided not to take delivery because he was not comfortable in it. I originally thought I would use the vehicle as a weekend driver but its so fun to drive I cannot leave it at home. If you are looking for a fun affordable car this is the one.

  Solstice in Michigan - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By 9966 - March 4 - 3:20 am

  I debated between the Solstice, Mazda, and Sky. I had a car on lease, and let the lease buyout sway my decision. I now have a 2006 Solstice, it had 3,300 miles when I bought it. I now have 8,000 miles and am totally happy. My only regret is it has very little space for anything except me a passenger and a couple cups of coffee. I had the opportunity to drive it on a 500 mile trip, and love it. Top is easy to raise and lower, and tight as a drum. I wanted a fun, sporty, stickshift, good handling, quick sports car like the old MGs and Austin Healy and that is what I feel I have. I kid Vette owners it is a halfavette - cylinders, size, and price! But a lot of fun.

  Good driver/short trips - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By RGD - January 14 - 2:23 pm

  Bought car 02/06.Good driver but very uncomfortable after 2 hrs.Headrest too forward.No leg room. Computer controls on steering wheel very awkward to use. Must take eyes off road to check instruments. LEDs hard to see in sun. No storage for cellphone, garage opener, sunglasses, etc. cup holders useless! Very hard to fall into and out of. Not having cushioned arm rest, my elbow gets sore pretty quick. Great looking car. Handles very good and good performing but needs more power. I dislike mine enough to have only 3370 miles on it.

  Solstice making tracks. - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By houstonSol - January 3 - 8:40 pm

  For those thinking that this car isnt practical havent used it as a car to go to/from work. It fits the bill perfectly. And those that are looking for the door lock button, go to the Solstice site and look up a cat named Tweety-he has figured it out. Good guess that GM will be doing this in later machines.
