  The styling is unmatched. The color (Envious) looks fantastic. The performance is great. Overall, you wont find this blend of styling/performance/fun to drive anywhere

  Lil Bit Of Sol - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By bleacherman - November 10 - 4:26 pm

  This car is just plain FUN! While the interior is by no means luxury...it is very comfortable, exterior lines are outstanding! Handling is phenomenal ... just a slight movement on the wheel gives instant response on the road. It feels that you are glued to the road with the 18" tires. Great car for an even greater price!

  What a car! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Rich - November 8 - 4:16 pm

  The Pontiac Soltice is the most fun I have had, driving a car. I didnt know how to drive stick shift when I got it, but it was so easy to learn, took me a couple of days. I like the fact that the red line for the rpms is high (7,000). I previously owned a Pontiac Grand Am GT which was a 3.1 V6 engine and it doesnt hold a candle to the Soltice performance wise. The bigger wheels and tight suspension makes you feel like your in a race car, and for the price you cant beat it.

  Wife Loves it! - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Anthony - October 25 - 11:06 am

  We got a Solstice for my wife, She totally loves it. The dealership called as soon as they had one the color she wanted. Picked it up that evening, rode home with the heat on and the top down. I took it in for its first service today, the car is great, a lot of fun to drive and people stop and look when we go by. Amazingly quiet with the top down, I was expecting way more noise. Hugs the road, just a fun car to drive on a curvy road or in and out of traffic.

  10s - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By curlygirlie - October 23 - 9:46 pm

  This is the most fun car Ive ever driven. It gets looks left and right, everyone wants to know what kind of car it is. Since there are so few in my city, (around 7) its like belonging in a secret club. The solstice gets excellent gas mileage, has enough pep to forget its only a 4 cylinder and is so fun to drive that I get excited to drive anywhere.

  My Solstice - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Shelia - September 19 - 5:50 pm

  I have driven Pontiac for over 15 years. I think the Solstice is one of the sexy car they made. She smooth, she hugs the curves, and I love the way drive and all the looks I get from men as well as women when I put up or stop at a red light. I like fast sexy cars, at first I was a little hesitant about the speed being that it was 4 cyl, but after her for a spin around the block, I realize the speed she had and I love this car. The way she looks and the way she drive.

  Great Roadster for Fun....3 weeks old. - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Tom Shepard - September 10 - 4:03 pm

  This is a fantastic little car...Body style blows all others off the road. Performance ... great thru 4th gear .. (to 85). 5th gear to 105 might take a few miles ... LOL ... but I am not in it for the speed (I am 65) I have had people follow me to a stop to find out about this car ... many thumbs up on it on the highway ... I it the MG of the future..To grocery shop you need to leave the top up .. NO TRUNK space ... or put groceries in the other seat. Now I am still trying to figure how you get the battery out of this car someday..needs more speakers...I love this car.

  2006 Solstice Automatic - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Dave Jasberg - July 6 - 7:46 am

  This Car was designed for people who love the look of 1950 and early 1960 coupes brought over from Europe. The look says "Lets go out and find a road with curves and hills and see what I can do" as this is not a Corvette and does not claim to be one, but the price should tell you that immediately. The front has the little whisper of the first Corvettes made with the round curves and grille area. I know that almost al are built as manual transmissions, but I live near the city and shifts become laborous in that atmosphere. For a new design and the first year of build GM deserves all the salutes from the buying public. The first Corvettes were beautiful, but road like trucks and rattled.

  Fun, waiting for sun - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By Bruce - June 8 - 9:50 am

  I have had my Solstice for several weeks and truly enjoy it. The cars build quality is the best Ive seen in an American car. It handles extremely well and has more than adequate power. I test drove a Porshe Boxster, Mini Cooper S convertible, Mustang convertible, but decided to buy the Solstice instead. Im not sorry. The car is gorgeous, particularly with the top down and is very fun to drive, especially on twisty roads. It is a bargain at the list price, but many dealers are charging much more.

  NO TOOM ON PRICE - 2006 Pontiac Solstice
  By BID WALT MACHINE - May 20 - 5:43 am

  Car was great. Bought a 2007 with 6000 miles less from the Porsche dealership for $1500 less ; Honda would not deal on price even when they knew I was going to the Porsche dealership to buy.
