"Cool" Head Turner - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By tutle - May 12 - 8:00 pmWe have had our Solstice for 6 months and it always turns heads. We love the 2 tone interior and the silver color is aptly named Cool. I put the top up last night for the first time since July 4 and plan on covering it for the winter when the weather breaks. Our daughter got married this year and we almost did not buy the car - boy are we glad we did! Everywhere we go it turns heads. We have had older Corvettes and it is so nice to have everything new and working. The car handles wonderfully and the fact that storage is very limited is no big deal as we got it for nice days and making memories. We love the car and plan on keeping it indefinitely!

Worse car I ever owned - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Omar Hossin - February 21 - 10:59 amIt is poorly made. It is manufactured poorly. Body parts do not align properly, the convertible top is frayed due to the window rubbing against in when I open and close the door. It rattles. the hood, fenders, trunk bumpers dont line up. It has 8k miles on it makes a lot of rattling noise, body parts rub around the hood and back fenders. The rims are pitted and peeling on the inner side. GM will not repair or replace them. GM gave me a poor explanation saying that there is a percentage allowed for flaws. I hate driving it. Resale is poor

Reliability needs to be #1 for USA!! - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Hauss - January 17 - 3:40 amWell weve had this car for 17 months and the darn thing has visited the dealership 22 times. Weve had the window seals replaced, ring and pinion seal replaced, axle seals replaced, steering wheel controls replaced, top worked on countless times, and now the transmission is making noise. This is ONE fun car to drive, get many comments on it. People are always asking what is this? Do you like it? I have a hard time telling them. This is the last American made car I will purchase. We had 3 Infinitis prior to this, never had a problem. Now this, due to me wife just had to have it. I wish they would take it back and put it where the sun doesnt shine. Its just not worth the hassle.

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.

Too much fun - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Onefunponcho - August 24 - 2:30 pmPros: The car is the best bang for the buck!! Grips the road like its on rails. Flashes right to whatever speed you need. the small turbo engine makes great power yet still great on gas. The best of everything. The auto tranny shifts like clock work.The premium sound upgrade is dandy with tune you can feel! Cons: A bit less hard plastic in the interior would be great. The exhaust is just way to quiet. And the trunk space it tiny. Hints: Two soft sided plain 24 inch duffels are ideal for the storage compartment. You must pack thrifty on long trips.
