  Could be better !! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By John - August 6 - 6:26 am

  I purchased this car not long ago and let me tell you it did NOT completely satisfy me. It has good handling and it looks impressive but it has too many details I didnt like. It has bad wind control,very small trunk, poor turn performance, bad steering wheel, interior is plastic, a hard-to- understand top. It also has just a few of the standard features and even those features are very common and basic. The car has good brakes though and it seems reliable on that. I also found the engine to kind of shake when i shifted gears. As my last comment i would advice that you also try others before buying it never hurts to stay informed. I would rate this car at a 7.7 out of 10.

  I love the drive, very fun. It looks much more expensive than it is. I get asked all the time how much it was. Also asked what it is, which is disappointing because I have worked for GM for 33 yrs & GM has not advertised this car at all, no one knows what it is. The body design is beautiful, GM has done a Good Thing with the design of this. The ride is excellent for the small size, I attribute to the large 18 In. wheels on it.

  Good driver/short trips - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By RGD - January 14 - 2:23 pm

  Bought car 02/06.Good driver but very uncomfortable after 2 hrs.Headrest too forward.No leg room. Computer controls on steering wheel very awkward to use. Must take eyes off road to check instruments. LEDs hard to see in sun. No storage for cellphone, garage opener, sunglasses, etc. cup holders useless! Very hard to fall into and out of. Not having cushioned arm rest, my elbow gets sore pretty quick. Great looking car. Handles very good and good performing but needs more power. I dislike mine enough to have only 3370 miles on it.

  Solstice making tracks. - 2006 Pontiac Solstice

  For those thinking that this car isnt practical havent used it as a car to go to/from work. It fits the bill perfectly. And those that are looking for the door lock button, go to the Solstice site and look up a cat named Tweety-he has figured it out. Good guess that GM will be doing this in later machines.
