I LOVE MY CAR

Incredible car. I have one of the only turbo locally. I love my car and her name is Prissy. She’s every bit of her name. I bought it with 21,000 miles and she has 39,000 now. White with a black top, she always gets compliments. She is an everyday driver and garage kept. So happy I had the chance to own her.

Missing my solstice

I had a stage 2 turbo and had about 320 whp and the car was so much fun and very reliable. Only real issue I had was the ac. I sadly don’t have it anymore because of a semi falling asleep and merging onto me and totaling my car. The car was safe as I didn’t break anything and considering how bad the accident was and how small my car was it’s pretty crazy. I’m 6’1 and it fit like a glove. My biggest gripe would be the lack of storage compared to similar cars like z4 and Miata. It was my daily so it was kinda frustrating for the space but as a second vehicle it’s the best

Funnest car at a bargain price, fast fun and great looking. Love them so much that I have 4 gxps black orange yellow and red. I have over 40 muscle cars, classics and sports cars. And I think I love the solstice gxp's the best always grinnin🥰 easy performance upgrades from factory tune upgrade and a few bolt ones to get 315hp o my so fun and hold on.i prefer the 5 spd over my autos as more fun and quieter. If you want a fantastic cars at a great price get a GXP you will smile everyday best kept secret in a sports car. Love my pontiacs you will not be disappointed so go get ya one these cars are not talked about and are so underrated and under appreciated. I've had nothing but great luck with them just minor little fixes here and there like any GM car but all in all been very dependable fun car with great gas mileage averages 30 mpg on my latest 2000 mile trip which was amazingly comfortable long road trip in a small car. Handling and ride is very solid and smooth.

Hot Car But Needs a Chrome Grill

My previous car was BMW Z4 3.0. So far, I really like the GXP's performance. The exterior is hot! My only beef with the exterior is the black grill -- it looks cheap! Why not keep the same chrome grill as the Solstice? The interior is sleek -- the seats hug you. However, there is no storage space. I can't even find any place to keep my garage door opener. I've noticed that the window controls are in an awkward place -- inevitably, my elbow triggers the windows. The biggest pain is the manual top -- miss the Z4's automatic top. There is no trunk space with the top down. Wish they offered navigation system as option. But can't beat the price and bravo to Pontiac for its cool design!
