Heroin with Wheels

2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

The 260 HP Solstice is the most addictive driving experience I've ever had. This car is like mainlining heroin to an auto enthusiast. Quick and agile, but packing plenty of power and kick, the Solstice GXP offers a visceral thrill unseen since the era of the mid-Sixties Corvette roadster. With XM radio, On-Star and enough room in the trunk for an overnight bag, the Solstice is the quintessential date car. I'm courting my wife all over again, and we're having a blast rolling around the back county roads with the top down and a picnic lunch in the trunk. You can't miss with this Pontiac. Test drive it at your peril. You'll find yourself taking one home with no regrets.

This car is a blast to drive. Everyone stares at you like you are driving a spaceship. Never get tired of driving this car. Stereo is awesome. Speaker behind passenger seat will rock you for sure. I'm 57 and feel 16 when I get behind the wheel. The car is my wife's so I only get to drive on weekends. Should by another for me.

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

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.
