"I loved body style when of this vehicle when it first came out in 2006. It is a real eye catcher. I recently purchased a 2007 GXP. I love the performance the turbo gives this vehicle."

"Considering this has been my dream cars for several years now it's easy to understand why I am beyond excited to finally have snagged one. I had already done my homework so I knew the pros (fassst if you get turbo 5 speed) and cons (little to no storage) and was warned about the blind spot. My previous car was a Mitsubishi Eclipse with the worst blind spot ever so guess I'm broken in there as the GXP causes me no problems. Great gas mileage, did I mention it was fast with 260hp, and is the most beautiful 2 seater there is in my opinion. I am in love with this car! My only complaint is I have to drive extra defensively as people either really can't see me or don't care. I have received so many compliments and people not believing what I paid for it. It's a great bargain, alot of fun to drive, and for me it is the ultimate."

Solstice GXP

"Purchased a 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP. Great looking car with head turning design. Test drove the GXP with the 2.0 L Turbo and the standard model with the 2.4 L, both had ample power. Ended up getting the 2.0 L turbo and enjoy the power the 260 hp turbo delivers when punching it. The GXP is getting 32 mpg with a mixture of city and highway driving. This is a solid little sport car and grips the curves at higher speeds. The Solstice has bascially no storage so only single over night trips are practical. In general the Solstice is a fun car to drive and be seen in."

"My red Solstice turns heads everywhere I go. A lot of people comment on the body style and say it's prettier than a Porsche. It really has little space for anything other than my purse, but I don't care. I love driving in it, it gets great gas mileage with the 4 cylinder engine,and it hugs the road. You can't get any more fun for yours sports car dollar than this, and you can take it to your local GM dealer for service."

"I had been wanting a yellow GXP for a few years and finally got it. I went with the 5-speed over the automatic. It just felt more like a sports car to me. Pluses: The styling is the best part. I get tons of compliments. The top is very quick and easy to pop up and down. The power is even better than expected and yet I've been averaging 28 mpg (over 31 on highway). Drawbacks: You can accidentally touch the stereo power button and/or open the cup holder while trying to shift. The rear hatch doesn't always open on the first touch of the button. The interior plastics are too hard on many surfaces. The stock tires squeal too easily when turning and overall don't inspire confidence. I'll definitely upgrade to other tires in the future."

"This little cat does more than just look pretty, it has performance that out does some of the more expensive 4 cylinders around. Although I've only owned it for a couple of months and had no reliability issues, I can say that thus far I love it! If I could add a back bench seat for my dog, I'd love it more. I went from a large 8 cylinder SUV where I could put the whole neighborhood in it and go. Now I must plan my every trip. It is really the only drawback to owning a 2 seater."

"The exterior design is so attractive that one almost wants to lick it. This car has the looks of an Italian-made roadster that only the very rich can afford. Many people on the streets of our city assume this GM product is actually an exotic European make. Coming stock from the factory my 5 speed manual GXP is fast enough for almost any sportscar lover. I went for the GM upgrade (performance package) which took the HP from 260 to 290, then had my Pontiac dealer install a Solo cat-back exhaust system and high performance catalytic converter for another 34 squirrels, boosting total output to 324 HP. This quick cat has now morphed into a rocket."

"Love the looks of this car. Most don't even know what it is when they see it. When you tell them it's a pontiac. The most common reaction is "really". The car handles awesome. I drove it home from Texas to Ontario in January, hit a freezing rain/snow storm in the hills of Erie. It stayed like that all the way to Toronto, car handled fine in 2-3in. of snow with stock tires. When I arrived home my average speed for the whole trip was 68mph."
