What is Pontiac Solstice???

#ArtWorksLights #pontiac
This is a video about very budget good looking car that is also a sports car that most of the people can afford. This is a small review and presentation of Pontiac Solstice to those who missed it the day it was born.

Have one, so fun to drive! More compliments than any other csr i have had!

[@artworkslights]

Always interesting to know.

[@bbb462cid]

Solstice was one man's vision for a return to fun afforadable sports cars. Bob Lutz is the father of ther Solstice and he acheived that gaol. The Solstice is a single purpose car; it's got very few compromises. No trunk space to really speak of, no storage bins all over not even easy to reach window contorls. They were supposed to be fun cars with the purpose of driving enjoyment.

[@artworkslights]

very interesting piece of information about this 'toy'.

[@stuttsuttle992]

Got one a year ago and I like it a lot, have zero regrets.

[@artworkslights]

nice. I might make another video soon

[@lilianamelendez2352]

Have one and love it

[@artworkslights]

Great! glad to know that

Solstice production: 2006 -2009. The coupe / hardtop came out, limited production, in the final years. They are extremely rare now. I searched for a non-turbo, 2006, manual transmission, and found a beauty in Deep Blue. I wouldn't modify anything in / on this car. They are 'perfect'. NEVER close the trunk that way. Push from higher up, let it fall into place. Those trunk-lid 'aero-fairings' can crack if you push against them too much. Also always have the doors closed first before closing the front hood.

[@artworkslights]

thank you for adding ....

I just got my 06 with 69k miles on it and love it. It's my daily use car and gets me to a and b and c sometimes swiftly lol but love mine and enjoy giving it car washes every other day hoping to get another vehicle and keep the black widow for adventures eventually

[@MotorCityKitty1112]

It’s absolutely stunning

[@artworkslights]

Thank you !

[@lil_knight_turbo]

I have a 2007 Pontiac solstice, it weighs around 2800 lbs. and it’s panels are actually steel, I know that because I can stick my magnet light on it. Also the 2.4 is nothing to laugh about on that light car, it’s not a race car but it has no problems passing.

[@artworkslights]

great to hear another opinion and facts from another good owner.

[@jobdoneright5934]

2.4 is a joke. Only 2.0 is something to talk about

[@jeanmichon2076]

You have a 2 l?

[@kennethyoung2077]

I’m 79 and will be looking at a solstice as soon as I get home. This will be my third roadster if I purchase it, never notice them until a few weeks ago.

[@artworkslights]

I did not realize they could be fun until I got into one of them

[@mstuttle2]

I have the 08 2:4 stick, I would not take twice what I paid for it, I’m 71 yo and love ❤️ it.

[@artworkslights]

thank you for such a nice feedback

[@bytemevv-4616]

The body of the Car is Hydroformed Sheet Metal {Doors, Fenders, Hood, & Trunk} except the front and rear... The Turbo Charged Models that I know of has a on/off button that switches the Competitive Mode \ Turbo Boost and Traction. You can tell the Base Model from the GXP Turbo Sports Edition apart from the front end and dual exhausts. I owned both a 2007 & 2008 GXP Turbo Models was in an accident in one and did all of my research back in 2006. In the future, I recommend doing the research or carefully edit the videos before uploading. I'm a nice guy and still gave a like anyways on certain things about the car I could agree on, like the Iron Cast Manifold I recently had issues with was not cheap to fix lol

[@artworkslights]

Thank you for your addition to this video. I was not trying to make a professional review on this car, because I don't do 'expert' car reviews. This was more of an introduction to this car for those that would consider something interesting and inexpensive to buy to 'play' with. There are a lot of more professional car reviews online, for those who need a better , in-depth , technical review of this car; I kind of more interested to give this model a second shot on the market. I do appreciate people like you , who participate in interests in cars like this and leaving very interesting comments like this to supports others interest.

I have a 2006 with every option except automatic and the Monsoon sound system. My car has a bit over 20,000 miles and is a weekend nice weather toy which sits in the garage most days . The top NEVER goes up, and it has never been driven in rain. I will never sell it.

[@artworkslights]

nice little weekend toy to have with a modern design.

[@sheryltelfair3252]

I love mine and yours

[@artworkslights]

thank you thank you.

[@charlesmorris6476]

Love the look of this car

[@2wrdr]

Have the GXP version with stick shift, chassis upgrades and ecu flash. Total less than 1K in upgrades and rocks especially in really tight twisties embarrassing much newer way more expensive cars. Only thing after the inexpensive upgrades is put HP tires on it and did I mention it rocks?! The lower mileage ones are now going up in value meaning I "could" sell it for more than I paid for it years ago but I have too much fun with it on the weekends.

[@J.H.HOLLIDAY]

The hood and fenders are all STEEL not plastic or fiberglass Its is 3,200 lbs It is a ROADSTER... so there isnt supposed to have storage

[@janellilucas145]

Great video!!

[@artworkslights]

Thank you very much!

[@pm6613]

I had to laugh when you griped about the centre cup holder; you missed that one that pops out on the right forward side of the car's hump. And never open the trunk that way: release the inside latch first to relax the pressure on the 2 buttresses over the trunk. Never close it by pushing on those delicate humps; they will dent. Just drop the lid form the appropriate height as you did for the front hood.

[@artworkslights]

I am glad that you had a good laugh. Stick around and you will get more of that. Thank you for you input, i am sure it would be helpful

[@littlebigs3491]

Nice car. I would consider it as a weekend car too.

[@artworkslights]

very good alternative to competitors

[@pm6613]

You can see the forward cup holder in your video when you filmed the interior from the passenger side.

[@joydarr2787]

I love mine, it's just like it.

[@artworkslights]

More people like you please...

[@lilianamelendez2352]

I love mine!

[@artworkslights]

Good luck with that

[@NoPrivateProperty]

I could have stained a sun visor as a teenager, but luck to hit the horn these days

[@pscartozzi]

I don't understand why you keep saying the hood and panels are plastic. They simply aren't, they are metal. Can you not tell the difference as you sit there and touch it? Can you not see the bend seams? Also, the car is not considered light for its class, it is considered heavy when compared to similar roadsters. There is a lot in this video that is just plain wrong.

[@sammymarks9840]

You have another cup holder on the side of the shifter that one is intended for the driver side but it's located on the passenger side

[@artworkslights]

how 'convinient' . seems like everything is reversed in this car

[@Samo-zm2pq]

it deadass looks like he's slowly starting to hate the car as it goes

[@BORODACH_USA]

Тачка огонь!

[@artworkslights]

You bet... You should try it.

[@Mike_Atwell]

If you don't know the weight, look in the door jamb.

[@artworkslights]

It was faded.

[@ZaneofAustin]

i like my saturn sky better ;)

[@artworkslights]

I am glad you like it too

[@Spendo]

How tall are you? Just wondering if I would fit in one

[@artworkslights]

[@Spendo]

@@artworkslights thx I would fit in one! 🙏

[@artworkslights]
