Pontiac Solstice Reviews

"Solstice hits the mark for sporty fun. Predictable through turns, well-balanced, and agile in quick changes of direction. Responsive steering feels connected to the road."

"Quick lane changes can be done with no tire squeal, body lean or instability. It's almost like piloting a go-kart."

"[The] aluminum 16-valve engine produces 177 horsepower, which is enough to propel the fairly heavy 2,860-pound Solstice to 60 mph in a fairly quick 7.4 seconds if you rev it hard."

"Its rakish styling features Pontiac's twin-honeycomb grille, sexy curves and two retro-style head fairings on the trunk lid that look as if from slinky 1950s sports-racing cars now considered works of art."

"One of the most attractive aspects of the Solstice is its curvaceous looks. There's hardly a straight line or crease on the body."

"...cabin stowage space is about as limited as that in the trunk--a pocket behind the driver's seat, a map holder in the wall behind it, a small compartment in the wall between the seats and a tiny glove box, and that's about all it will hold."

"The comfortable bucket seats are supportive, but their controls need to provide a larger range of comfort settings."

"Trunk is wide enough to fit one large or two small golf bags. Two soft duffle bags will also fit, but don't expect to carry even medium-sized boxes."

"...the fuel gauge in the instrument panel is so deeply recessed it's impossible to see the needle at times."

"Standard items include power steering, an adjustable steering column and an AM/FM/CD sound system, but not a heck of a lot else."

"The 18-inch wheels on the Solstice, compared to 16-inch wheels on the Miata, make the Pontiac look even sportier."

"GM has delivered that "gotta have" car."
