2006 Pontiac Solstice

Storage in the Pontiac Solstice, aside from the tiny glovebox, is limited to a small compartment located high on the bulkhead between the seats. It is large enough to hold sunglasses and a cell phone, but is not easily accessible unless you’re a contortionist. Pontiac also chose to use a push-and-turn latch design instead of a simple lift latch, which doubles the effort required to gain access. The Solstice gets three cupholders, two that deploy from the rear bulkhead and which will block access to the storage bin, and one that flips out on the passenger’s side of the center console that impedes on already limited knee space. All three are flimsy and would be questionable holding anything larger than a small drink.
