The Car of Your Dreams - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Nails - TX - May 9 - 7:30 pmI have never seen so many double-take, jaw dropping, envious stares in my life! The kind of attention I get is only matched by exotics. The car was bought for my wife to run around in. She LOVES it. I LOVE it. EVERYONE loves it. Pros: Everything.. Style, Performance, and Price. Cons: Not a Family car! Gas mileage is on the low side, 16-18 straight city/ 27 HWY. Somewhat limited trunk space (although I have stowed an entire grocery basket full of groceries).

Looking to trade it in - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Aresee - February 19 - 9:06 pmI have mixed feelings about my car. Ive had the car for 2 months. I love the way it looks, driving a manual transmission convertible can be fun. People in those BMW Z4s always look at me instead of me looking at them now But the transmission and gear ratios arent great with this car. Ask anyone that owns a Solstice about "the clunk" and the "differential" problems that they may have been having. GM claims the clunk is normal and has no remedy for the problem. A/C makes an annoying whine. Rear differential makes an annoying whine Also be prepared to pay a 3k-6k markup on this car like I did. If you want the car I recommend finding a dealership that will sell for MSRP It will be well worth it

Aint about romm - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Angioman - April 4 - 9:20 amThis car isnt about room it is about fun. i bought mine used and it had 4500 miles on it. Everybodys head turns when you go by them. The chrome wheels and exhaust give it a very good look. Fuel mileage is excellent averaging 27 city and highway combined.

Good Looking and HOT!! - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Impe1595 - February 28 - 5:46 amFor me, it is two things, the styling and the engine. This car is beautiful and fast. I dont care that there is not much storage space, or that the top is not so easy to operate, that the cup holders are a joke, that the instruments are hard to see - I dont care! Because even though I will never drive it more than about 7/10s, when I step on it it goes, and it goes fast; and I love the look of the sloping front fenders from inside, and big tires and exhaust pipes from outside. Im 65 and Ive had many cars; I never thought that I would have anything to rival the beauty of my 71 E-Type Coupe, but this Solstice does come close. I smile every time I go into the garage.

My 07 Solstice Review - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Coupe - January 23 - 1:46 amCar is very fun to drive, however, I have had little problems. I dont drive my Solstice very often. I am currently waiting on a 2,000 part! Luckily I received a 72,000 mile warranty!

2007 Pontiac Solstice - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Kenneth R - August 31 - 1:33 pmThis is an enjoyable car to drive, it hugs the road with ease, besides the excellent design features its also comfortable. At 240 pounds and 61", and 56 y/o I slide in and out of this compact with ease. The 2.4 liter engine is a little loud but it does have excellent acceleration. I have had an issue once with the differential leaking fluid, the dealer replaced it with any problems, the service department stated that this has been a problem and the new differential should correct the problem. At times I smell fuel, but Im unsure if its coming from my vehicle or from other cars on the road. Curious if anyone else have had these problems?

Great new ride - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By pontiac lover - August 12 - 3:00 amThis is great vehicle. I test drove the roadster, which was great, but when I test drove the GXP I just couldnt resist. I was set on a new sedan until I got behind the wheel. Its even peppier than my 04 Grand Prix GT and handles great. Very fun, very unique. I just wonder what it will be like in the winter.
