Quick fast and a blast to drive with the 5 speed manual transmission

In short, this car is incredible. She handles like a car costing twice as much, and will pin you in your seat all the way through the powerband. The only negatives I could pin on the car are shoddy cupholders and poor radio visibility with the top down. However, it is a roadster, not a compact economy car, and the positives more than offset those minor negatives. I'm proud of my ragtop tanlines!

This is a sportscar made for fun not a luxuary car designed for ultimate comfort and convenience. If you want to really get out and enjoy driving a fun car and turn heads this is the car to have. It is reminicent of the 53 corvette with the front end design.

You like me! You really like me! You could almost hear Sally Field's voice emanating from the dash of the Pontiac Solstice concept car at its 2002 debut at the Detroit Auto Show. Easily stealing all the thunder, the sexy and curvaceous pouncing roadster was an attempt by GM's Bob Lutz to enter the classic sports car market.
Technically Pontiac's first branded sports car (the Fiero was sold as a compact car), when the Solstice finally appeared on the market in 2006, you could hear necks snapping and eyes popping all across America as drivers were overwhelmed by its stunningly good looks. Borrowing parts from the rest of the GM lineup (the Cobalt's door handles, the Hummer's transmission, the Torrent's steering wheel) in order to keep costs down and the selling price low, the Pontiac Solstice was built on GM's new Kappa platform, with wheels stretched out to the far corners for better handling and more interior room than its obvious rival, the Mazda Miata. The trunk and hood sported reverse hinges, opening outward rather than toward the car.
Initially sold with a 2.4-liter, DOHC Ecotec inline 4-cylinder (borrowed from the Cobalt) rated at 177 hp with a 5-speed manual transmission, the Solstice wasn't necessarily a speedster off the line, but it was plenty peppy to ensure a thrilling ride on the open road with the top down. In 2007, the GXP arrived on the scene, with the more ferocious 2.0-liter, DOHC Turbo Ecotec that boasted 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. It was apparently the first direct injection engine made in America, and GM's largest ever horsepower rating per cubic inch of engine. Finally, the Solstice had some grunt to match its snarling looks.
The GXP comes standard with a lot of features that are only options on the base Solstice, such as power windows and locks, cruise control, ABS brakes, and traction control. The thinking is that the less number of features, the lighter the car and the faster its performance. Yes, air conditioning is optional, the soft top is only manually lowered, and there is extremely limited trunk space (no spare tire) and lack of storage options, but that's what makes the Solstice affordable in the first place. And let's not pretend that anyone is buying this convertible for anything but its classically sleek good looks. On that score, the Solstice appears to be way ahead of the pack.
