About the Pontiac Solstice

If you covet fine four-wheeled automotive art and your idea of driving fun is a small, responsive and affordable two-seat sports car on a challenging two-lane road, the value-oriented Solstice might be right for you.
Pontiac calls it "a modern American update of the classic roadster...inspired by the romantic era of sports cars." We call it near-perfect taut lines, seductive curves, long hood, short rear deck, clean body sides, high belt-line, dual-port Pontiac grille and wide 18-inch wheels and tires pushed to the corners for a low, aggressive stance. Integrated fairings behind the headrests recall racing sports cars of the past; and the prominent headlamps and wrap-around tail lamps have a premium, jewel-like appearance. Like most roadsters, it looks best with its easy-operating manual top tucked away, but nearly as tasty with it up.
The interior design emphasizes a "back-to-basics, driver-focused theme" with a cockpit-style layout that cants controls toward the driver and features motorcycle-inspired gauges. Unlike some small roadsters, it has generous shoulder room and sufficient legroom for taller drivers. While no tire-burning Corvette or luxo-cruiser Cadillac XLR, this lovely little roadster's key aspect is its uncanny balance. The 2.4-liter four has excellent low-end torque for strong launch and passing performance, yet it happily revs to its 6,600-rpm red-line when the mood arises. Due to the combination of stiff chassis, wide track, near 50/50 weight distribution, perfectly tuned four-wheel independent suspension and big, handling-biased tires, cornering balance and performance are simply outstanding yet the ride doesn't beat you up on lumpy surfaces.
