The Pontiac Solstice is a sports car that starts under $25,000 and for 2009 is offered in two different body styles: A new coupe version joins the line for 2009
The Pontiac Solstice GXP features a turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 260 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The added power gives the GXP versions much stronger acceleration, capable of 0 to 60 mph in less than six seconds, and the base price includes more comfort and convenience features.
The Pontiac Solsticeroadster ($24,275) is powered by a 173-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The standard transmission is a five-speed manual, and a five-speed automatic is optional ($995). Solstice comes standard with hand-cranked windows, manually adjusted outside mirrors and manual door locks, though the driver's seat features a power height adjustment. The glass rear window of both body styles has a defogger, and the padded, urethane-clad steering wheel has a tilt adjustment, but does not adjust for reach. The shift knob is leather-wrapped, but seats and door panels are covered in cloth. Tires are generously sized 245/45VR18 Goodyear Eagle RSA all-season radials on 18-inch painted aluminum wheels. The six-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo includes XM Satellite Radio and an iPod interface. OnStar is standard, along with GM's Driver Information Center. And the acoustic lining for the convertible top is standard. Air conditioning ($960) is optional. The Convenience Package ($395) adds cruise control, an enhanced Driver Information Center, and fog lamps. The Preferred Package ($625) includes power windows, power door locks with remote keyless entry, and body-colored power outside mirrors.
