Reviews of the 2006 Pontiac Solstice

CNET Review
The Good: Great-looking lines and meticulous handling give the 2006 Pontiac Solstice two of the key ingredients of a thrilling roadster.
The Bad: A terrible gearbox means that drivers have to fight the shifter when changing down and gun the engine to maintain speed when changing up. Aside from a multisource optional stereo, cabin tech ends with the (optional) power windows.
The Bottom Line: The 2006 Pontiac Solstice is a car for teenage girls with a love of cosmetics or midlife-crisis guys happy to get a budget boy-racer image without the performance to back it up. Those wanting a real roadster experience should look elsewhere.
