2007 Pontiac Solstice Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Pontiac Solstice:

Solstice hits the mark for sporty fun. Predictable through turns, well-balanced, and agile in quick changes of direction. Responsive steering feels connected to the road..

-- Consumer Guide

Quick lane changes can be done with no tire squeal, body lean or instability. It's almost like piloting a go-kart..

-- MSN Autos

[The] aluminum 16-valve engine produces 177 horsepower, which is enough to propel the fairly heavy 2,860-pound Solstice to 60 mph in a fairly quick 7.4 seconds if you rev it hard..

-- MSN Autos

Its rakish styling features Pontiac's twin-honeycomb grille, sexy curves and two retro-style head fairings on the trunk lid that look as if from slinky 1950s sports-racing cars now considered works of art..

-- MSN Autos

One of the most attractive aspects of the Solstice is its curvaceous looks. There's hardly a straight line or crease on the body..

-- New Car Test Drive

What reviewers liked least about the Pontiac Solstice:

...cabin stowage space is about as limited as that in the trunk--a pocket behind the driver's seat, a map holder in the wall behind it, a small compartment in the wall between the seats and a tiny glove box, and that's about all it will hold..

-- Cars.com

...the fuel gauge in the instrument panel is so deeply recessed it's impossible to see the needle at times..

-- Cars.com

Trunk is wide enough to fit one large or two small golf bags. Two soft duffle bags will also fit, but don't expect to carry even medium-sized boxes..

-- Consumer Guide

The comfortable bucket seats are supportive, but their controls need to provide a larger range of comfort settings..

-- MSN Autos

Standard items include power steering, an adjustable steering column and an AM/FM/CD sound system, but not a heck of a lot else..

Pontiac Solstice Comparisons:

The 18-inch wheels on the Solstice, compared to 16-inch wheels on the Miata, make the Pontiac look even sportier..

-- New Car Test Drive

Best one-liner about the Pontiac Solstice:

GM has delivered that "gotta have" car..
