"I previously owned a 2006 Solstice and now upgraded to the 2009 Solstice GXP. A major difference in power with the stronger 250 HP. I would take this car over the latest Porsche model any day. As "Car and Driver" magazine said about the Solstice - "It has all the sexy curves of Queen Latifah, but half the weight.""

"I have recently purchased a 2009 Solstice GXP Coupe. It has only 2600 miles on it. I have always been a fan of the coupes. I have owned several sports cars but I have never had one that behaves like you would expect a sports car to behave. You have to want to be able to feel the road and the responsiveness of a vehicle like this. People that complain about the ride and performance of a sports car are like the people that move near the airport and then complain about the noise. This car is not for everyone. But for those that love a true sports car, the GPX is a delight to drive. Treat yourself . Drive one !"

"I bought a 2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP, & I couldn't be happier! This is not a car for those of you who want a marshmallow- soft, luxury car. The Solstice is a true, bare bones, no- frills sports car that's all performance! Sharp, crisp turns, great acceleration thanks to the turbo, and just pure fun in the sun! Wish they still made them! If you ever see a 2009 GXP Turbo for sale, snap it right up because it's a true enthusiast's dream!"

"Traded my '07 Solstice Base for an '09 GXP. This car is not made for those who want the cushy comfort of a "marshmallow car!" The interior is sparse & functional, & there's not a lot of extra room. However, if you're a true sports car enthusiast as I am, you will love this car! The turbo-charged engine rockets you when you need speed, corners as well as a Porsche (yes, I have owned one,) & handles like a dream! Highly recommended for sheer, pure, raw sports car enjoyment! Too bad Pontiac doesn't make them anymore."
