GXP in Triad - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By bradbike - November 30 - 4:23 amI own the car and I really enjoy it. Its quick, fast, and strong, but still averages 25 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway. I have the automatic and its pretty darned quick itself. If you can find the GXP for MSRP or close, youll be in for a treat. Its not a great primary car due to lack of storage, but it has more than enough for groceries and typical shopping. If you buy a large boxed item, make sure you dont have a large passenger...it will go in their lap. As for the top....youve all heard horror stories about reviewers having a hard time...sorry, but I feel they are cry babies. The top is easy to operate...it just requires you to get out of the car. Get one! Have fun!

Head Turner - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By paintman1966 - November 17 - 3:21 amBought last year at 45k miles, have 56k now and its been great. Exactly like all the previous good reviews. Went on 340 mile trip from Maine to Vermont and back and avgd 38.4 MPG!! 95 mile roundtrip to Portland, Me and avgd 37.5 MPG!! of course I had my GF in the car and foot off the turbo. She loves the car and we are planning on buying a second one someday so we wont have to share. Location of PWR window switches is the most aggravating thing about this car. I put top up or down in @30 secs at stop lights. Co-worker has base Sol and test drove my GXP and says definite difference :) Been getting great comments on its looks from the beginning:

Aching cheeks - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Houston - November 13 - 2:53 amAwesome just awesome, my cheeks are aching with smiling so much; power comes on stream when requested. Handling is so precise it compares to a Porsche I used to own. Practical, no, but who cares, looks, comments and questions from kids to grannies. Even in the traffic here in Houston I have been questioned while stopped. I read someone saying the seats were small, I am 250 and 6 ft. (and 56 years old) and slide in and out with no problem.

GXP - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By dangerdarrell - July 19 - 7:00 amI have 1600 on my GXP now. Having problems with the clutch. 1st gear is too low (5 speed). I advise 6 speed for town. Clutch will be repaired under warranty. Love the car. I have owned many sports cars but none have gotten the so many compliments. Would buy another even after having the 1st gear and clutch problems.

Not a bad American made car - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Dean - January 12 - 6:26 pmA stable, fun to drive car with lots of good features and only a few not so good. I enjoy it much more with the top down than up due to the poor visibility with the top up. Gauges are hard to read and the seats are odd but as soon as the turbo kicks in it brings a smile to my face.

Another Roadster at Our House - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
By Steve & MaryBeth - July 17 - 11:20 pmThis car replaced a 2001 MR2 Spyder which repalced a Miata this is MBs car and she hasnt stopped smiling yet. Our first drive was to Mid-Ohio Races. There was a very nice surprise awaiting us. GM had a Pontiac corral there that we were invited to join. I own other sports cars,Porshce and a Corvette but we have never seen so much enthusiasm and passion for any car as the people that own the Solstice. This was exciting and very refreshing. We are looking forward to many fun miles with this car.
