2008 Pontiac Solstice

According to reviews, the 2008 Pontiac Solstice is, generally speaking, a great ride. This is taking into account the vehicle's sleek construction, good fuel economy and touch-foot acceleration. The only real concern was the lack of space for large passengers, driver arm movement to some respects, and grocery/luggage packing. Still, this sports car convertible wasn't intended for heavy carrying ('heavy' in terms of both weight and quantity) and, like most convertibles, is designed with two doors and a two-passenger capacity so that intimacy can be engaged and maintained. In other words, this is not a family vehicle. For its intended purpose, though, the Pontiac Solstice performs splendidly.

Fuel consumption is adequate, too. Of the two trims offered in the Solstice set, the regular convertible holds a fuel capacity of 2.4 liters, while the GXP convertible accommodates 2.0 liters. The assessment of 'good fuel economy' is relative, but here, the fact that the fuel tanks are not the largest available prevents high-gas spending, although filling will be necessary with fast or very long-distance traveling. At 177 horsepower (the regular convertible) and 260 horsepower, or 5300 rpm (GXP), an energy burst from these cars would not be unexpected, especially since they were intended for ongoing fast-paced performance. Five-speed manual and automatic transmissions, both with overdrive, are available to allow for variation in velocity as needed, but controlled.

Added bonuses to the 2008 Pontiac Solstice include elaborate and versatile entertainment center. A CD player, MP3 player and XM(B) satellite radio are among the integrated electronic capabilities the Solstice features.

This make is a carryover from 2007, which is fortunate. What other enhancements can make the Pontiac Solstice better than it is?
