What a fun car to drive! I don't understand how the "expert" reviewers can rate the Sky higher than the Solstice. They are virtually the same car. This is a roadster & therefore should not be considered a roomy car. It would be great if the top were powered instead of manual but it's not difficult to put up & down. I would stop the car to put up & down anyway.

Overall a very well performing car that handles darn near as good as a C6 Corvette, maybe better in some respects. Fun, and the exterior styling cannot be beat. Mechanically a very sound design. Interior needs work as far as convenience, but if you rate it from a driving perspective only, the interior is functional. As soon as you start adding niceties like where to put your spare change, sunglasses, or cell phone... the interior's shortcomings come to light quickly as does the non existent trunk space. The exterior design and performance of this vehicle is what sells.

I just bought the GXP on my 60th birthday and it has totally jump started my life. I live in northern Minnesota, but will use this care selectively all winter. You just can't store this one. It will, although be in a slab heated work shop with me. I'll visit the wife on weekends if time permits. Thanks again Pontiac.

This small car always puts a smile on my face. It is a nice addition to my Harley! Fun for two!

Went to dealership and after driving it I bought it . Handles great ....love the acceleration . Very impressed with the mpg . Had to get water pump replaced at dealer ...the timing chain whined and I took it back . They charged me alot more than the water pump replacement to fix a problem they caused with the timing chain tensioner . They would not take responsibility for the tensioner being tripped during the water pump removal . Other than that the car has performed without a hitch for 150k . Garage kept of course .
