Pontiac Solstice
2009 Pontiac Solstice Review
A cool two-seater, now with a hard top.
"Coupe or convertible, the Pontiac Solstice looks great, puts wind in your hair and is fun to drive. The base model starts under $25,000, though air conditioning, power windows, and the coupe's convertible top insert are extra-cost options. However, Pontiac has added ABS, stability control, and a limited slip differential as standard equipment on all models for 2009. GXP models add a turbocharged engine. There's a shortage of storage and cargo space here, particularly in the convertible. But the Sols..." more
2008 Pontiac Solstice Review
Modern traditional sports car.
"The Pontiac Solstice looks great, puts wind in your hair and is fun to drive. The base model starts under $23,000, but air conditioning, power windows, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control are extra-cost options. The GXP adds those features along with a turbocharged engine. There's a shortage of storage and cargo space here. But it's a hoot to drive, particularly on clear days, and it turns heads fast and often. Those may be the two most important reasons to buy a small roadster. It doe..." more
2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP First Drive
Performance that's more than skin deep
"Pontiac follows the Solstice launch with the boosted GXP version, bolstered by a stiffer suspension, 260-horsepower engine, and reasonable $26,995 starting price...." more
2007 Pontiac Solstice Review
Great looks, affordable top-down cruising.
"The Pontiac Solstice looks great, puts wind in your hair and is fun to drive. The base model starts around $22,000, but air conditioning, power windows, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control are extra-cost options. The GXP adds those features along with a turbocharged engine. A lack of storage and cargo space and the cumbersome top make the Solstice a poor choice as an only car. But it's a hoot to drive, particularly on clear days, and it turns heads fast and often. Those may be the two most..." more
2006 Pontiac Solstice Review
Sexy Solstice flaunts supermodel looks but does it face a future of nips and tucks to stay runway?
"Pontiac has succeeded in building a well-designed, good-looking roadster in the Solstice, but can it survive on looks alone? Styling is admirable, handling is excellent but low quality materials and a silly soft top distract from the appeal...." more
2006 Pontiac Solstice Review
All-new two-seat roadster is fun to drive.
"The Pontiac Solstice comes out of the chute as a full-blown, wind-in-the-hair, delight-to-drive, true-blue, yet affordable sports car, something we haven't seen from Detroit in more than half a century. And while it's not perfect, it's easily more than good enough to give drivers something they can own and drive with pride, and a smile...." more
