2006 Pontiac Solstice Review:
Only real competitors are Miata and S200. The Honda is cost-prohibitive for the working man. The Miata is a wonderful car, but over-priced due to market demand. Enter Solstice. Yes, it's Detroit, yes, it's GM, yes, it's Pontiac. And yes, it is my my opinion, a better value than the rest. Good grief, just LOOK at it.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Solstice?
The unique design.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Solstice?
My paint is terrible. It appears that there is trash/debris between the clear coat and paint. Dealer/corporate is of no help. Offers to buff but not correct. I have also had trouble with what the dealer says is the differential fluid.

2006 Pontiac Solstice Review:
Overall, I really love the car. I've had it brand new since 12/05. I am only afraid of what my paint will look like in another 6 months.

It's a great car and a Home Run for GM! It's fun at a reasonable cost! Obviously, GM needs more of these successes!

Add a hardwood finish to the interior.

By far the best vehicle in GM's line-up. They need to score a few more in different classes and they just might beat out Toyota.
