  Highly Recommend - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By rcl76 - December 10 - 9:23 pm

  I have had this car for a good month. Is way too much fun to drive, and I am getting 24.0 miles per gallon city (5 speed manual). I usually get 3 or 4 questions/comments a day on the car, especially with the top down. I would do nothing but recommend the Solstice GXP.

  Race performance and gorgeous too - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By John Richards - November 10 - 1:13 am

  The looks drew me to the Solstice, but the looks reflect the racing design: the wheels far out at the corners, the low frame and seating, the aerodynamics, the huge tires and disc brakes... all components of a true race car. I have been surprised at how well it drives, much better than I thought it would. Cornering is a joy. The visibility from the cockpit is a little restricted, but I quickly learned how to anticipate visual angles for quick maneuvers, i.e., headchecks and headtilts for mirror views. Now I feel safe except I have to do a double check for right rear corner views (a good practice with any car). This doesnt feel like a well-engineered Japanese car. Its looser and wilder.

  New Owner Review - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By Terry - October 19 - 2:20 pm

  After three months just waiting to be able to order the car and three more for delivery it was all worth it just seeing it for the first time. This car is a clasic in only its second year. Although it looks great, driving is even better. The Solstice hugs the road and takes turns with zero roll or sway. Acceleration with the 2.4 ltr is good. Wind noise (top down) is minimal and conversation is easy. Top goes up and down easy and with the head-liner (tough to get) its very quiet and temperature stable. Visibility with the top up is limited (bad blind spots). We purchased the automatic and its smooth and handles Northern New Mexico mountains well. At this price, this car rocks.

  By Dean in MI - September 24 - 10:16 am

  Ive been a Nissan owner for years but I loved the look and performance offered by the Solstice. I have been very pleased with the cars handling, braking and performance. Im not happy with the lack of change holders, the difficulty of viewing the speedometer and the seat controls. Also its hard to see traffic lights or go through a drive-thru with the top up.

  Turning Heads - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By Barb - March 28 - 1:53 pm

  Heads definitely turn in this ride. Im really enjoying this car. Its been a long time since Ive had a two seater. The interior is tight, definitely not the car for a larger person. My 6 - ft husband is comfortable. Too much plastic in the interior. Window switch difficult to get to. Be warned - the back window is not replaceable. The entire roof must be replaced should the window break - or in my case - smashed by a jealous neighbor. Watch the prices - dealers add a significant additional charge for market demand. Have fun - Enjoy.

  Nice, but not perfect... - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By PACMAN - January 30 - 1:26 am

  Great styling, very comfy to drive. But after 5000 miles, dashboard rattling (dealer "cant locate source") and clutch chatters and car almost stalls in first gear. Has since day 1 and three dealers all say..."designed that way...nothing wrong..try easing away from lights very gently". Huh? Its a sports car, for crissake! If I wanted to "ease" away from lights, I would have bought a Prius! On the road, driving verymoderately, the car gets about 25 MPG tops at 60 MPH.

  Best little convertible in the market - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By JV - November 30 - 2:33 pm

  Fun to drive both with the top up and down. The interior design makes it easy to use all aspects of the electronics with minimal effort.

  07 GXP - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By ¿spoom - November 22 - 5:10 pm

  Too early to tell, as I dropped it off at the dealer last week after 11 days because of an intermittent "no starter when you turn the key" problem. Ill test it some more when I get the car back ;) Overall, this is a fun car to drive. The 2.0 turbo took care of the weak performance that kept me from buying the first years model. Handling is on par with cars costing $10k+ more (Ive driven a Crossfire some). Even with cold tires & road on a 11 °F day this thing road like it was on rails-the suspension set-up is perfect,IMHO. I constantly found myself wishing I could reach the seat angle knob while driving but that would take a skinny-armed contortionist.

  Awesome Surprise - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By Mar - September 20 - 5:23 pm

  This was a surprise birthday gift from my husband. Its a beauty and draws lots of attention. Ride is almost as great as our Harley. Our three year old grandson calls it Lightning McQueen.

  Nothing more fun or gorgeous than this! - 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  By Gabriel1 - August 2 - 3:16 am

  I absolutely LOVE this car! Since the moment I brought her home I have been crazy about the way it looks, the way it drives/handles, and the way it attracts positive attention every where I go. This is strictly a "fair weather machine" for me. (I do baby my toys!) Nothing more fun than to take this car on a trip to the Napa vineyards or the Pacific Coast on a sunny day or for tackling the mountain turns on a trip up the Sierra Mts to Lake Tahoe!
