Cute Texas Tech Car

This car has a really cool trunk and hood opening and when driving with the top down it was perfect for country or city driving. Sound system was great and I loved the sound of the engine.

Fun eye candy car!

A very fun car to ride around it on that Spring, Summer or Fall Day! It does catch everyone's eyes. This car has a lot of spunk and go and with the 5 speed manual it makes it especially fun.

Fun summer car

Fun to own and drive in the right weather. It?s not practical, but it puts a smile on your face. Mine didn?t have ABS or traction control, which was possible on some 08 and earlier models. Great for track, rally, or parking lot fun.

It?s a real head turner

Just bought a used GXP version with only 11,600 miles on it. Very responsive and lots of low end torque. Super quick for a car that?s 10 years old. Love the red color and really enjoy the convertible top. Just bought as a fair weather time of year car & will be putting it in storage for the winter months. I can?t say enough good things about this vehicle. Maybe the only downside is that the dash seems a little too plasticy. But hell it?s a lot cheaper than buying a Porsche or Mercedes roadster.

I absolutely love this car!

A sporty little zip around car. It is fun to drive! I cannot wait for the spring weather to drop the top and go for a cruise to nowhere.

Fun car that makes a statement.

This car is very responsive to all of the driver's inputs. It is comfortable, and compared to my C4 corvette , has more head room and foot space. The GXP and the N/A versions both have more power than a Mazda MX 5. For the price you get a very competent automobile.

Fun weekender!

I bought this car as a fun weekender. Enjoy driving around town with the top down. GXP has plenty of pep and is great for running errands.

A Classic

I bought this car as a retirement present to myself. I had researched this vehicle for over a year and finally found the perfect Pontiac Solstice in New England. I love everything about it its was my dream car and now I own one.

Awesome looking red convertible with auto trans

The ride and the handling is great, plenty of pep in this 2 seat four cycl. It is great driving around town easy parking, and takes off on the open highway. The auto trans makes it easy for anyone to drive.
