Most fun car I have ever owned

This car is not for a big person but it is a blast to drive. Most fun car I have ever owned. Gets excellent fuel mileage and has all the power you could want in a car this small.

Love driving it!!

This is a car you drive to have a good time. Poor man's Corvette!! Love it!! I don't drive it in the rain. Only for special occasions & sunny days. Always wanted one since the first day I saw one. My kids are all grown & gone so it was time to get it!!

Sporty and Sexy

It is a very fun car to drive. I have not had any problems with it and love to drive it with the top down. It is small but sexy!

Don't dream about getting a Solstace....GET ONE!

My wife and I recently retired and thought about what to do together for fun with our recently acquired free time. The Pontiac Solstace was the answer. Fun to drive, affordable, and great looking are only a few of things we love about this car. Ok, not much storage space, but after all, it's not a van or a pickup truck. This vehicle, without a doubt, will enhance the quality of your life, which by the way, is very short. I don't know or care about the mechanics of this car. That is what car repair shops are for. All I do know is that this thing looks and runs great and we will do whatever is needed to keep it that way. It is truly a beautiful car and a wonderful driving experience.

Sexy lil thang! ;-)

I absolutely LOVE this car!! I can't believe the negative comments below... I was in a wrech this past December & the 2 months without my lilttle toy were agonizing! I had a few different rental cars & a loaner from the body shop, noe of them even come close. This car is super sexy! Super fast & great on gas! True there is not a lot of storage but hopefully there is a significant other's car for traveling. :-) I have gone to the grocery store & purchased over a hundred dollars of groceries & fit them comfortably in the trunk. I also have jumper cables a small tool box, coolent & winshield wiper liquid in the trunk. I purchased mine in 2010 with only 5,000 miles on it & it now has 89,000 & the only thing I have had to replace is the turn signal relay. The inside is soooooo comfortable especially after a looooong day in high heels these seats feel great on the lower back. I have driven back & forth to California a few time very comfortably. Sorry a full size suit case will not fit unless you are by yourself, then it will need to go in the passenger seat but that what cute totes are for. The guy below doing all the complaining needs to think outside the box & appreciate her beauty. I live about 6 miles from wotk, this is my daily driver & I only have to fill up the tank once every pay period unless I take a long journey to the east valley. I love the cup holders because they are retractable so when you are not using them, they can be hidden to return her to full sexy status. Yes, they are plactic, if they were not, they would not retract... My leather interior is also still in perfect condition even with the AZ sun beating down on it from time to time when I have the top down. I will say, this is NOT a bad weather car. It does lose traction in wet conditons easily. If you live in Washington, I would not recommend buying this car. :-( unless it is a 2nd car. If you crave speed on a budget, then you can't go wrong with this Solstice. What a great buy!!! I'm so glad I found 1 in an automatic!! I will keep her till she is a collector's item & beyond.
