worth every penny I paid for it
I have this car for five years and put a lot of mileage on it (20K per year). It never let me down, very reliable and faithful. No one will doubt about the looking, it's just gorgeous. Interior is cheap, cargo space is limited. But hey, it's a sports roaster half the price of BMW Z4 yet with better looking and similiar performance.

It's a fun car.
Gas mileage is good. It holds the road very good. The noise level is not bad for what it is. We have a lot of fun driving in the mountains. Overall it is the car we expected it to be.

Very Stylish
I have only owned this car for 3 weeks, but it grows on me ever time I drive it. It looks like an expensive Italian sports car but on a retired guy's budget. It is not a comfort ride as it has a tight suspension. I have owned two TR-3s and a 914 Porsche, but this is the best looking car I have ever had. I'm a senior citizen but don't have any problem getting in or out of the car. It does have a blind spot with the top up but just have to be extra careful. I think this car is a good investment where most cars are not. Can't wait to get on the "Mother Road."

Most fun to drive car I have owned.
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.

Great car for the money
I really love this car, had a BMW M coupe and like this just as much. Great looks, and so much fun to drive, also have to hide it from the wife who also likes to drive the little beauty.

My favorite car ever
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.

Beautiful body
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.

worth the wait
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.

Way Fun and Hot Looking
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.
