What a car! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
By Lew - February 12 - 1:06 amForget the small storage space and all the other minor complaints...its not a $35,000 sports car! What it is, is a car that is beautiful to look at and fun to drive. Ive had the car for about a month and put about 1000 miles on it. The pick-up is ample the ride is what youd expect in a roadster...the handling is great. You cant beat it for about $24,000 with most options. The only thing I wish...is for the weather to get warm, so the top can come down. Its a fantastic car!!

Chucks Solstice - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
By Charles Johnson - January 30 - 2:43 pmThis is one outstanding car with fantastic handling. Currently getting 28 MPG on the road with around 20 MPG in town with an average of 24.5 MPG overall. I have found out that the car runs better using 93 octane gasoline. Have a total of 900 miles after 3 weeks of driving. Seats are very comfortable but as reported the trunk has limited space. With top up I am able to get 3 large duffel type bags and one large soft sided hanging bag, enough for my wife and I to have a long weekend. With top down, there is enough space for 2 small duffel bags. I am using the car as a daily driver and regardless of weather it handles great.

What a Car Pontiac Got it Right!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
By Aaron - August 28 - 2:46 pmFor the money you could not get a better roadster than the Solstice. This car rides like a dream handles like a race car. I gotta say Pontiac has done it right with this car. I agree with other drivers when I say Chrome grill would be nice and moving the window controls up closer to the dash would be good other than that dont change a thing on this car..........mark my words this car will be a classic......

Excellent Roadster!! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
By My Baby, 4 Weeks old - January 31 - 12:26 pmI have had my Solstice for 4 weeks, my first manual car and I love it. The car completely wraps around you when you are in it. Completely comfortable, the suspension is unbeatable. After test driving Minis and other small cars this one definatly passed the test for comfortable driving. I love the looks I get driving down the freeway, people slow down so you can pass them and then speed up so they can see what your driving!! Excellent roadster, I cant wait till summer so I can put the top down and really test her out!

GM has Nailed the Market -SOLSTICE - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
By Lisa Jeffcoat - January 17 - 10:10 pmThis car outshines anything Ive driven or even seen on the market,GM really went above, and why to even compare to the others is silly. It handles as close and my 1981 corvette,easier to park than a vette, and the gas hand seems to never move. The innovative features are so easy to operate and storage is just enough for a road trip. This car is Blows away any other car in my book! The seats are so comfty and plenty of leg room and head room, its just a stylish beauty and I predict it will hold its value,we will look back on it like people look at Corvettes now in 10 to 20 yrs--and WHAT a GREAT price--I just LOVE mine.

MY SOL - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
By solsticeSJA - January 14 - 8:23 pmThis is the prettiest vehicle i have ever owned. It turns heads and gets smiles all the time. It handles better than anything Ive ever driven (and Ive rented some nice cars in Vegas) It has NO trunk space but if this is its only flaw at that price....you gotta have it.

Two years and love my Solstice - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
By Mafasa - October 24 - 11:03 pmGreat car to drive. Most reviews Ive read are on manual transmissions. I ordered an Automatic, hey! Im getting on in years and manuals are just to difficult for these tired broken limbs. Anyway, I had to wait almost six months for it to come into the dealers. Well worth the wait. I love the sports car feel, its like you can feel the weather lines that run horizontally across the pavement or the lines where the concrete pieces in the road come together.
