  • Great car!!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I have had this car for 9 months and enjoyed every minute of it. The car drives as well as it looks, the power is adequate, responsiveness is excellent, and the feel of the car to the road is as a sports car should be. I have driven German cars for decades, and am extremely pleased with this automobile, much more so than I expected. I thought it would be a very attractive car that looked good, but drove like any other car. Quite the contary....it is spirited and exciting to own and drive.

    I debated whether to go with the Solstice or new MX5. Now that I have received the Solstice Im so glad I decided on it. The car is exceptional in every aspect.

  • Not real impressed! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    Everyone has been in a daze about the Solstice. Its not nearly as good as the 2006 MX-5, but my daughter wanted one. I will probably be getting myself a MX-5 when they get the one in i want. Anyway, the only things the Solstice has is great looks. Its a little softer in suspension than the MX- 5, but it is comfortable. The worst thing about the Solstice, in my opinion, is the wind with the top down. Oh, trying to take the top down and then putting it back up is just to technical. Solstice 6 - MX-5 10. I wish i would have bought a MX-5.

    This is one fun car and it is a definite attention getter. It takes the boredom out of driving. This car takes you back to the grass roots of driving, unlike some of those big "boats". You actually drive this car.

  • Love my Solstice - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I love my car people stare and ask questions and even stop me in the street. When I saw my first one I followed the man to see what it was and five days later I traded my 2003 Celica for a Bright Red Solstice.

    I have had many sports cars including three Vetts, MGs, Nissans and many more but this car I bought for my wife is a great and fun car to drive! Move over, wife, I want to drive and my other car is a Lexus which I also love. We both love this car and it handles like a dream with 19" eagle low wide profile tires-hugs on turns like no car (not even my Harley) I have owned. I feel like a kid again!

  • What a ride! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I love this car. The ride is smooth, yet powerful. The lines are sexy. Every where I drive, heads turn. The wind isnt bad at all with the top down.

  • Hot Car! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I love my Solstice. It looks better than my 99 Corvette hardtop. I have done several things to make it different than others. I am thinking about putting a Hahn Turbo and maybe a hardtop also. Mine has just about ever option. I have not had to take it back for anything up to this point. Very good quality and really fun to drive. The most fun car I have ever owned. Buy one youll love it!

  • The best bargain ever ... - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    This car is one of the best looking caras on the street right now. Its that eye candy and WOW car that arises every 2 or 3 years, like the PT Cruiser, or the New Bettle or the Mini Cooper. This car is anything but flat. In South Beach at several valet parkings they park this car in front with the ferraris and lamborghinis. This is a bold move and not from ford, this time from GM/ Pontiac. Looks 3 or 4 times its actual price, girls love it and its fun to drive, under powered but the fuel economy is awesome. Lets see if the GXP turbo version later 2006 will handle the performance issues. This car is a solid 9.
