I am the original owner of my 2006 Solstice

My husband bought this car sight unseen for our 10 year anniversary. I love my car. I drove it everyday until about a year ago when I inherited a 2000 Ford Ranger for driving in Kansas City. The 9 years I drove in the snow it did ok. Not setting any land records in snow but got me to work and home. Since I got my Ranger this car is now my summer car.

Love My Solstice

This car is so much fun to drive! Whether it be on winding roads in the mountains or along the beach with the top down my Pontiac Solstice has been perfect.

Good convertible cheap!

Go through a mid life crisis and I have always wanted a convertible. Searched various websites and craigslist and determined the Solstice would be a good car for someone with a budget like me. Test drove it the other day, nothing to blow your socks off but if you want something to let the wind blow over your balding head, like me, its an option.

Extremely FUN, reliable, affordable, gr8 looks.

Only regret was not waiting for GPX version, but still very zippy. Interior is plasticy and they should have used better / upscale material, but the layout is very driver friendly. Love the RETRO curvy look. I real head turner.

Fun sports car

I wouldn?t want to use this as an everyday car. Recently purchased a used Solstice and we enjoyed a nice day trip with the top down with the nice fall weather. This is definitely a fun car for this type of activity.

2006 Solstice

Sharp little car to kick around in the Nashville sun, right color and great style. Drives real tight. Just enough to get around and be comfortable.

Looks Great

Blind Spot driving. Sits very low. Probably better for a taller person. I really like the looks. When researching vins. Seems almost all have been in accidents. So i wonder if its the blind spot causing it

Don't buy unless it's your 4th car

The performance was fine--English sports car level and quite fun--but the interior is ridiculous (nowhere to put anything including your phone) and reliability is awful. Understand that no one will fix your roof when the window delaminates or the roos tears and no one makes the roof anymore!
