  Shop Around - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By marksviper - December 9 - 7:03 am

  I own a 350 z roadster and love it. But if you do the research most of the new so called hot rods only have a 4 cyclinders in them with only 5 gears no 6th gear. On the highway this is taxing on a engine. I, in a heartbeat, would have bought a Honda S2000 if it go to a 6c. Honda has won the last two indys!!! Drive them all before you buy. On the highway in last gear listen to that engine work Markviper

  I bought a white one which I strongly desired and drove 150 miles to get it. It has the two tone interior which I love. It rides smooth and corners well. Great value !

  GM Got It Right (Again) - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By mIchMlbrn - August 28 - 9:06 pm

  My wife and I were looking for an exotic car without breaking the bank. Corvette, BMW, and another Mercedes were considered. We rode by our local dealership the other evening and WOW, check that out. A Solstice. A friend of mine let me drive his the first day he got it and I wanted one. OK, now I got one and am quite happy with it. The only thing I can say to the GM R&D folks is "do you think you could shoe- horn in a Hi-Po V6? Overall the car is a blast to drive and handles like a dream. I would much rather own this than a Miata. (Im an American) The dealership is great to deal with and I am pleased.

  1 after purchase thoughts - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Matt - April 4 - 6:40 am

  This Car is still a head turner 1 yr after purchase, great styling, although the front end of the car is cute (not aggressive). Fun car on open roads, performance is good, would like a little more zip. Comfortable for a 2 hour drive, nothing more. Interior styling is average with cheap looking dash and door materials. Overall the concern to buyers is (practical). You cannot even haul a load of groceries. The car is always fun to drive and I anticipate this to be a body style that time does not dull. The aftermarket parts are becoming more prevalent and you can easily customize engine and styling to your liking. Rear wheel drive is always fun.

  Solstice Rocks for the Price - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By toma - December 31 - 7:40 am

  This car is so fun to drive. I had to wait 7 months to get the car, but was worth it. EVERYWHERE I go, I get stopped and asked about the car. Sometimes I pretend I am on my phone because the attention is endless!

  A real head turner - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Jim - November 22 - 2:06 pm

  I bought this car in January and have enjoyed it more every time I drive it. It handles very well and has sufficient power. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN store some things in the trunk...small soft things. My only slight complaint is that there is no hole big enough to hold a cell phone or ipod near the center console. Overall and excellent car though.

  the car my wife does not let me drive - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By L.BROUSSARD - October 5 - 9:06 am

  Very proud owner of this fine looking car. The car gets a lot of stares male and female. Its the type of car that is new to the eye. Owned the car for three days and already someone was wanting to use it for a Mardi Gras parade.

  Early Solstice Review - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Billdaman - September 13 - 11:03 pm

  This Convertible has it all. To view this beauty from a distance with its flowing lines and growling grill tells you in your first glance that this car is destined to be a classic. Enough cannot be said about this car as an embodiment of a "has it all" modern roadster. Its interior is a beautifuly trimed cockpit with high quality fit finish and materials. This is a car that is the fulfullment of my dream to own a true performance roadster, that is most importantly American through and through. At just under 20 K there is NOTHING that can come even close. I have driven the Solstices competition from Honda, Mazda and BMW. They cant match this cars looks or performace at the price

  Fun and style - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Ray Phillips - July 17 - 5:40 pm

  Yes I dont have many miles yet. But what a beauty.She has the lines that have other more costly sports car drivers looking. A police chief while we both were getting gas stopped over and marveled at the design. Im not hoping to see him soon under differant conditions. However the state side boys finally have an American made car we can all appreciate. I think the automatic is fine. This feature helped me sell the better half on the absolute need to aquire this work of art.
