2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP Trim Overview

With more power from a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, the GXP trim of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice comes closest to meeting the sports-car aspirations of this American roadster. This is reinforced by a sport suspension, foglights and a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, but convenience and luxury haven’t been ignored. You’ll also find a full power package including the top, mirrors, windows, locks and remote keyless entry, as well as Bluetooth added to the satellite-ready CD/MP3 player, which sports a digital media connection. The steering wheel gains radio controls, and the driver benefits from cruise here, as well as power and height adjustment for his bucket seat. A 5-speed manual is still the transmission of choice, and things are kept civil via features like traction and stability control, a rear limited-slip differential and 4-wheel antilock discs hiding behind 18-inch polished alloy wheels.
