 7.2
/ 10
Overall Ratings
- A softer ride than its Solstice sibling but it otherwise suffers from the same lack of power and practicality issues.
7.2 / 10 Dynamics
6.0 / 10
Engine Performance- The weakness of this engine is amplified because you expect so much from a car that looks this good.
6.0 / 10 Transmission Performance- Not suitable for a performance vehicle.
7.0 / 10 Brake Performance- Consistent and stable.
8.0 / 10
Steering Perfomance- Good feedback.
8.0 / 10 Handling- Solid, stable and impressive in most conditions.
8.0 / 10 Fun-to-Drive- Despite the engine/transmission, the handling and "gawker" factor make this a fun car to be and be seen in
5.5 / 10
Comfort
6.0 / 10 Ride Comfort- Jarring during long trips. Almost exhausting for trips over 30 minutes.
6.0 / 10 Wind Noise- Plenty of noise. All you can handle really.
7.0 / 10 Road Noise- Hard to hear the road noise over the engine, wind noise.
7.0 / 10 Front Seat Comfort/Space/Access- Fine for most purposes.
0.0 / 10
Rear Seat Comfort/Space/Access
7.0 / 10 Driving Position- Low but practical for operation.
7.0 / 10 Function
8.0 / 10 Headlight Illumination- Bright and wide.
8.0 / 10 Visibility- Fine when top is up, great when down.
8.0 / 10 Instrument Panel Layout- Simple and logical.
8.0 / 10 Climate Control System Layout- Intelligent design. Easy to use.
8.0 / 10 Audio System Layout- Standard GM fare. Usable and simple.
8.0 / 10 Secondary Control Layout- Standard GM fare. Usable and simple.
6.0 / 10 Interior Storage- Minimal at best; and, the storage areas available are so ergonomically misplaced that they are of little use while driving.
6.0 / 10 Standard Cargo/Trunk Space- Not even a set of golf clubs.
6.0 / 10 Convertible Top Operation- Horrible. Absolutely the most aggravating part of the car…except for the lack of storage. The problem is magnified by how simple the Mazda MX-5 Miata's top is to operate. Unacceptable in my view. A rush job to get this vehicle to production.
5.0 / 10
Trunk Space, Top Stowed- With the top down, there is no space to store anything. Enough of a problem to not convince a person to not buy the car. An unacceptable and unnecessary compromise GM allowed to get this vehicle to market.
6.0 / 10 Cupholders- Poor placement makes them difficult to use.
8.0 / 10 Design/Build Quality
9.0 / 10
Exterior Design- Among the most beautiful cars you'll ever see. And certainly the most beautiful in this price range. Spectacular.
8.0 / 10 Interior Design- Inspired, but not as impressive as the exterior. Very well done, nonetheless.
8.0 / 10 Interior Materials- Good materials.
9.0 / 10 Interior Control Tactile Feel- Very well thought out and executed.
7.0 / 10 Squeaks & Rattles- Doesn't give the impression of a great build.
7.0 / 10 Panel Fitment & Gaps- The fenderliners actually rubbed the tire in the rear when launching although panels appear to be aligned straight and even.
