best car ever - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By sherri - January 3 - 4:56 amI love my new solstice...I have only one regret and that is that I live in MI and I bought my car in Sept. instead of April...Pontiac did everything right with this car my car is loaded so the stereo and leather put me in a wonderful state of mind..I like to call it my therapy- would recommend to all!!! I only buy GM and have a Bravada for winter so I am all set.

A great 2 seater roadster! - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By MY SOLSTICE - December 21 - 9:53 pmI just got the solstice, and i just love it!! It is good on gas, and very comfortable driving, even though it is a small car. Grabs turns smoothly, and drives very smooth for a small roadster!

Standard Solstice still Fund to Drive - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Mike G. - December 3 - 4:50 pmI picked up my standard Solstice even though the GXP has now arrived. At first drive I felt the acceleration was a little less than what I wanted, but it does actually have good thrust when you need it and step on the pedal to tell it you mean business. I also owned a GTO, so it is not in that league, but after a few hundred miles in traffic, as this is my daily commuter, I am more than satisfied with the cars performance. The styling also has created a lot of whiplash around it with craning necks to see what just went by. Nice ego boost. I will keep it.

07 Envious - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Mark Elsner - November 25 - 6:00 pmIm glad I waited for the second model year as GM has fixed some issues with the first model. My car has the new torque arm between the manual trans and the rear differential. Hopefully Ill never have the clunk that some 06 owners have. The manual trans ratios have also been revised. 800 miles so far and no problems. Mileage is 26-28 so far in mixed driving. The styling is stunning. It gets comments from everyone. Dont drive this car if you dont want to be noticed. The car is far more comfortable than I was expecting. It is not cramped at all. Seats are very nice. Also dont believe all the negatives about storage space. I hauled a 50lb bag of dog food home in the trunk. Great Car!

Too much fun - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By GM guy - September 27 - 6:40 pmThe Solstice GXP is a great small run around have fun ride. The handling is superb gas mileage if you drive with care will reach close to 35 MPG around town a good 28 in mixed commuter traffic if you are on it 25 is what I get. My wife who has not been a sporty car fan loves it! She likes the ride ease of handling and loves the stick tranny. Body is tight no squeaks. The negatives are seat belt is hard to find and it has hard to reach cup holders. On the hole GM finally got it right on fun and price.

Great Roadster with power to spare - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Nate - August 4 - 6:53 pmI just want to drive this car all of the time. Sadly, I will store it for the long Michigan winter soon. I have owned quite a few sports cars and this one takes the cake. This is a roadster in the purist form of the word. I do not care if the top takes me 2 minutes to put up or down. I dont care that it has little storage or some of the swithes are a little hard to get to. I understand and appreciate the car for what it is. And quite frankly, I feel Pontiac and GM nailed it with the GXP. I have owned a BMW M-3 and I think the cars manual 5 speed transmissions feel the same. I wonder if the writers for car mags just dont like to admit GM did it better than anyone else. I love this car.

4 wheel motorcycle - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Virgil Wallace - July 7 - 11:31 pmIm 68 and was looking for a fun, great looking car like a Cadillac xlr or Plymouth Prowler or maybe a Can-Am motorcycle. I didnt think I could fit into a Solstice but found that I could. The gxp is a hot rod and an event to drive. It rides and drives better than the xlr and the prowler at much less cost. I just cant help punching the turbo... what a blast. I could easily get myself in trouble with the law. Many people complain about the power window swithes being hard to reach... if you reach across your belly with your right hand they work well.

Amazed - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Celeste1 - May 27 - 1:10 amI bought my Solstice on March 17, 2007. I traded a Vette for my Sol and dont regret it for one second. I love driving this car! She corners better than any other car Ive owned and Ive owned about 30 cars in as many years. We took a 3500 mile trip this past July and averaged 32 mpg at 70 mph. Loved the stares and the comments. This is the best car Ive ever owned.

It turns heads.. - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By M Stubbs - April 14 - 1:16 amHaving been in the car business for over 25 years, I cant remember a car that draws a crowd like the Solstice. Best styling in its class, good performance, great economy, and just plain fun to drive. You hate to have to park it. A few subtle mechanical improvements over the 2006 model make this car even better.
