GXP me.
As my car breaks in more and more (15,000 miles.) i like it it more and more. Some of teh switches and cup holders are in slightly wierd places but you get used to it. As for comfort and performance: I love the car. Handles, fast , good fuel economy and it turns heads everywhere I go. My friends all know I can buy a more exspensive car. So they allway ask me why a Pontiac? It's a top notch performer, that's why. Near perfect 50/50 wieght and 260HP add up to lots of fun.
I hate it!!!
I regret every buying this car! Sure, it is fun with the top down and driving on weather permitting outings, but otherwise it stinks. My car has been in the shop three different times and had a camshaft sensor problem that was repaired. The motor seems sluggish IMO and it is fairly quick, but seems harsh for a turbo. Power is not a smooth delivery. Clutch is quirky with a notchy shift linkage. The damn thing is horribly uncomfortable and interior is cheap at best. No room for anything.The top execution could be much better. The car is not what I expected. Fuel economy on the highway is good and it looks good, but otherwise I hate it!!!! I would trade this pain in a heartbeat if I could.

Drop Top Dream
Although I have only owned a month and put about 700 miles on it, it hasn't disappointed me yet. I had the power up package added. Now 290 HP and 340 ft lbs torque according to article in Hot Rod. I still get goosebumps when I step it down and look at speedometer, I won't admit what it read! Admittedly going to be a summer ride for me but it will be a GREAT summer!
Greetings from the Louvre...
When selecting a piece of art for your wall overlooking the living room..you don't ask: does it corner well? When listening to Sinatra turning a corner on a lyric like no one else ..you shouldn't ask:Am i listening well? It just happens. So, when i placed myself securely in my new (old, 2009 cherry red Pontiac convertible soltice Gxp) Hip snug touring machine. It was more about the feel than unswanky plastics.It was more Sinatra than Hendrix. And in the twisty roads it was better looking, then the better handling Miatas..and that was fine with me.
