2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe - First Drive

I don't care what quirks there are with the Solstice coupe....i'd still kill for one.

That car has so much character.

@SOsiqq

Good choice. The Solstice is a very fun car to drive. You should be able to get an excellent deal on a USED Solstice with very low mileage. I got my 06' Solstice RED Convertible for a measly 14,000 and had only 12,000 miles on it.

If you do buy the 06' Solstice. Get some better tires within a few months because the stock 06' tires are terrible in the rain. Trust me. I have lost complete traction at least 4 to 5 times on wet surfaces with the awful stock tires at low acceleration lvls.

a panoramic sunroof like the one on the scion Tc would have been a much better option!

if you wanna muscle car go with mustang or camaro....or maybe challenger....solstice is a joke

@websoull True--If you're after a true muscle car. But if it's a true sports car you want, Solstice is a decent choice. Solstice is more in line with the Triumph Spitfire and hard top Triumph GT-6, as well as the MGB and MGB-GT of old. These were relatively inexpensive, small, lightweight cars that would absolutely devastate a Mustang or Camaro on a twisty mountain road where handling is more important than brute acceleration.

that roof is the reason i want a 2006-2008 solstice , lmao on 3:26 it's sounds like he said fast as fuck

Wait, do I understand correctly? It costs $1100 MORE for the coupe over the convertible? And the removable top does NOT fit in the trunk. GM, what the F*** were you thinking?

Lame removable roof.

your right GM makes some good cars. i drive a 2001 camaro with a 3.8L really nice car no problems at all smooth ride, pretty good mpg for a car that is super fun to drive. my dad have a 2008 chevy silverado 2500 z71 and thats super nice leather in it. my mom drives a cobalt not the best looking interior but its not a luxary car. it gets everyone from point A to Z on half a tank honestly "LA to Imperial valley , 400 miles" on half a tank. and my dad has a 55 chevy pickup still runs like a mofo
