Anyone Drivin the new Solstice?

My uncle ordered one and got it last week.
I had the opportunity to drive it.
That car is awesome.
Handles very well, hardly any body roll around curves.

with a 2.4ltr 4cylinder 5 speed, its a quick little car.
It has the best "stock" exhuast sound I have ever heard.

The audio system is incredible, the stereo gets louder as the car speeds up, its insane.

Its a little small on the inside.and
everything is close to you.
which is good, but the short shifter can be a little difficult to gauge which gear is what without looking.
shifts very smooth and the clutch has a very nice feel to it.


over all its a nice car..

My dad has one and I must say I was very impressed, great time to drive in the canyons up in the foothills around denver. But I must say the new mx-5 takes it in my book, still a really great car though

I dont like it way too small for me, It feels almost clausterphobic.
Drives really nice though, and looks good.

Yeah, very small inside.
thing is, it can be difficult to move, b/c I had trouble finding gears with limited space.
lol.

how was the interior build quality? did it feel european built, or general motors slapped-on?

one thing i dont like about the exterior is the pontiac grill looks like it was arbitrarily placed on...no planning whatsoever because it looks like a *******-chin.

well.
Everything felt like it was put together pretty well.
Very confortable, apart from the lack of leg room.

the grill looks like a large BMW grill.lol
