2007 Pontiac Solstice consumer reviews

My wife and I bought the car as a weekend cruiser and it is more than we imagined for the money. We had contemplated buying another old Corvette but hate the hassle of repairs and upkeep. We decided to buy the Solstice and have a new warranty. As luck would have it, we have not had to take it back for anything but service. We love to take it out on the weekend and drive country roads like we did in our youth on the Harley. This is better because we sit next to each other and really enjoy it. We love the manual transmission and typically, I will drive it to a destination and she drives it home. Another thing is that I am 6'2" tall and about 285 lbs and a left knee that has been replaced. No problem with entry if I can open the door all of the way to fold in the knee. WE LOVE THIS CAR!!

A terrific way to relax away the stress of everyday life. Comfort, reliability and. . . unabashedly he said, "some ego display as well".

I wanted to buy an American car and this was the only one that caught my eye. I couldn't be happier. It is beautiful and quite a headturner. I do wish there was more room inside - no place to put my handbag if someone else rides along. No way I can pick up someone from the airport. Regardless, this car is amazing!

Love the Car. Solid no squeeks no flex. Had Corvetts in the past and the turbo is a pocket rocket. Wife loves it. Great road car, and the quietest convertable with the optional sound protection in the top, its like a sedan. negative side cup holders are hard to reach. has understeer in tight corners, and back end will start to crab on you, but its no big deal.

I purchased this vehicle for one reason only: style. It is the sweetest looking vehicle on the road under 50K. Here is what you sacrifice to get it: Very low driving position requiring severe bending (middle agers think twice about this); Small fuel tank - frequent fill-ups; Interior not nearly as appealing as exterior; Little to no trunk space (don't try picking a pal with a small suitcase up at the airport); One interior storage compartment that is very inconvienently located; Poor driver visibility; manual controls for convertible top; expensive oil changes (syntheic oil); Poor quality (two trips to the dealer for problems in the first three months); long walks from distant parking spots; no dealer discounts; rattling speakers; don't assume power locks, power windows and keyless entry are standard - they are not and they are must-haves. On the plus side: Excellent power consdering its a four cylinder; Moderate sticker price; 23 MPG; HEAD TURNING STYLE; satelite radio is a must; red interior lighting; excellent handling; few and far between on the road and did I mention HEAD TURNING STYE? Despite the inconveniences, I'd buy it again just to stare at it in my garage!

This is by far the most fun I have ever had in a vehcile. I am in love with it. THe styling is amazing (especially considering the price) and the handling is almost perfect. I got the car about six months ago and I find every excuse to drive it. I do wish I had gotten the turbo but it was not available when I ordered mine. Performance is fairly gutsy but not mind blowing.. its still very fun to drive. I like the fact that Pontiac is not flooding the market with them so that they are still unique. It still turns head of drivers of cars that cost 3 or 4 times what I paid. I think everyone should have one.
