Solstice GXP Coupe is as beautiful as it is rare.Source: MSN Autos...Optional soft-top allows for top free driving without worrying about the weather. GXP has plenty of power for a car this size. Cons: Hard top will not store in the car. Visibility more limited to the rear than the convertible. Overall: I liked the Coupe so much that I traded a 2006 Solstice convertible to get one. I would recommend the car to people that are not worried about hauling half the house when they travel or have to take a large family along. The car has more than enough room for a couple to pack and travel for a couple of weeks or for a trip to the grocery store. The car may be... |

Twisty Driving Dream for the Frugal DriverSource: MSN Autos...Cons: Requires careful consideration when packing for longer trips due to small trunk space, even less with top down. Gages hard to read in sunlight. No unlock buttons on doors (fixed in 2007 or later). Window button placement. Insufficient padding in door and center console arm rests. Minimal storage options in cabin. Overall: I love this car and plan to keep it forever. This car has protected occupants well in the accidents that I am aware of to the point of minimal, if any, injuries. 2009 North American SolsticeSky Meet (4th Annual) will be held in Denver, CO at the 2009 Summer Solstice... |

The Solstice RocksSource: Edmunds

Why should I also consider these?
The Honda S2000 may be the closest competitor to the Solstice GXP; it brings an incredibly rev-happy 237-horsepower, 2.2-liter VTEC four-cylinder and six-speed manual.
Though it doesn't match the GXP for straight-line performance, it beats it for the tactile experience.
The Miata covers the basics with a certain tactile charm that the Solstice lacks; the shift action, very direct steering feel, and sound of the modest engine powering the balanced, lightweight roadster is still unbeatable.
The torquey Nissan 350Z Roadster is also worth a look for those who seek V-6 grunt above all else.
Compared to the Solstice, the mechanically identical Saturn Sky includes more standard features at a higher price, although styling is quite different—and perhaps superior—on the Sky.
