A new trim level, the Pontiac Solstice GXP, debuts for 2007. It features a 260-horsepower turbocharged engine, a sport-tuned suspension and stability control. Other minor changes this year include a standard power height adjuster for the driver seat and a few new options, such as a rear spoiler and sport metallic pedals.

Pros:
  • Sexy styling, nimble handling and loads of grip, strong engine performance from GXP model, powerful brakes, low base price.
Cons:
  • Engine revs slowly in base Solstice, tall transmission gearing, tiny trunk, poor top wind sealing, no side airbags or interior storage.

  • Some of your judgement is bogus - 2007 Pontiac Solstice

    Like the 50s great English cars. As a average driver it is an excellent car in 90 % of my usage. I dont need cornering or any sort of road feed back, I do that with my eyes and feel. I love this machine. I have 7180 miles and still having fun.

    Have been driving for the past 11 months and love it. Really turns heads when you drive down the road, top up or down! Handles beautifully but not happy with shift from 2nd to third. Only wish I had waited until the turbo came out.

    This is an amazing car for two people but not for carrying anything out than the two people.

  • Fun, Fun and YES Even Practical - 2007 Pontiac Solstice

    BMW, Mazda, Mercedes - you have a lot to learn...drove them first..BIGGEST disappointment-BMW...ugly & NO FUN.. buy one as a coffin maybe. Anyway..the Solstice is what a Roadster is supposed to be at a price that is right on. I got it loaded with the upgraded stereo - I like to say "I have a pair of driveable headphones" !! Just awesome stereo. Comfortable to drive, rips around any offramp - zoom zoom this...tried that with the Miata - almost wound up dead! Tonight I went to the post office picked up 3 boxes size of a briefcase cubed, went to the market - $140 groceries and I had room to store it all. Used front seat of course, but I never have problem putting stuff in the trunk. Its a HIT!

  • No comparison to 2006 or Mazda Miata - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I had a 1990 Mazda Miata; I had a 2006 Solstice. Comparing the GXP to either of these cars is a mistake. Do not be misled - this is a car built for fun and high performance. I took the 2006 on a long road trip and could not even put a duffel bag in the trunk; I had to put my clothes, sans suitcase, where I could, shoving them into nooks and crannies everywhere. 5 cubic feet of storage space aint much, especially when divided into small segments here and there. The 2006 reminded me a lot of my Miata, but I got a lot more compliments, questions and stares. The 2007, however, is a muscle car and a roadster. It is FAST! If only they could find a way to put a suitcase in it, it would rate a 10

  • A blast! - 2007 Pontiac Solstice

    The new face of Pontiac is awesome! People are attracted to it from across parking lots. Fun car that really is a great value. The "Excitement" division is BACK!

  • A real sweet ride - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    This car is all about fun and styling. It handles wonderfully on the twisties and is a real head turner. It is certainly not a practical everyday vehicle, but in my case it is my weekend toy. I have had Miatas, and this car is so much more satisfying to own and drive. (Probably because it looks so darned special, as opposed to the Miatas somewhat mundane styling). I wanted a vehicle that closely gives the feel of those classic 1960s British sports cars (light, nimble, modest power plant), and the Solstice delivers in spades.

    I love my car. I have nothing but fun with it. Ive done some minor changes but nothing major.

  • An awesome driving car - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    This is the most fun I have ever had with a car. It is great feeling once I am behind the wheel on a open winding road. The car handles super around tight corners and has outstaning performance. The Solstice is great value for the price and I would highly recommend it to people looking to have unlimited driving enjoyment and loads of fun. Makes one feel like a kid again.

  • Love it - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
    By -

    I love my 07 Solstice it is by far the funnest and best car ever. I hear people are complaining there is no place for a cell phone. What the *&% # ??? I am in it to drive not to chat on the phone. Also that the cup holders are behind you is a complaint, there is one on the passenger side of the consol just have to look for it. Fun car and if your biggest concerns are a place for your phone and starbucks latte maybe you should stick to an SUV.
