    Anyone own a Pontiac Solstice?

    My wife is thinking about getting one.
    It's a 2007 with 38,000 miles on it.

    Anyone know anything about them?

                  Maybe I should mention that my Dad bought one, but my Mom is the one driving it

                      I drove the one she's looking at today.
                      It's pretty fast and would be fun to drive but I'm 6'2" and 240 lbs. I felt like a fucking sardine in that thing.

                          We own a Mini Cooper. I'm not in a position to complain about space either

                              Lay off the cheeseburgers. I suggest a diet rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

                                      I *LOVE* those cars...!

                                      ... but I am too tall to fit in them comfortably!

                                      Everytime I see one I like to check it out. The styling is really cool. I rented one on a trip last year and was really excited to drive it. When I did it was fun, fast and handled well, but became uncomfortable for me because I could not stretch my legs. (I am 6'3"). With the drivers seat all the way back, it cannot recline as far as I want either which made it worse for me.

                                      If your wife is shorter than me, she should be ok. Tell her to take it for a LONG test drive first to make sure the car fits her the way she wants it to before buying.

                                      Good luck!

                                              It's a cheap knock off of the Honda S2000. Buy a real car!

                                                  My GF's dad bought one last year, and I think he's in love with it. I guess after some 40 years married to the same woman, he needed a new love. LOL. Anyway, he has had no complaints, and shows it off to everyone. It's a bit tight for someone 6' as the seats can only go back so far. Beyond that, seemed to drive or ride fine.

                                                      Car and Drive gave that car a pretty good review. I would find the link but im too lazy.
