You are in the Pontiac Solstice Forum. Your Host is claires
I'm tempted to get a Pontiac Solstice, but I live in Michigan. Has anyone driven one much in snow and or ice? I'm sure it wouldn't be great with the light car and rear wheel drive but I was curious on how good or bad it might be. This would be my main vehicle. I might have an old car around to drive on those rare really bad snow days. Just wondering if the Solstice is impossible to drive with snow on the roads.

I have a 2007 Solstice automatic, and notice that every time I start it up and back out of the garage, a small trail of water is coming from somewhere underneath the right side, I believe in or near the engine compartment. This only happens when I start it (or at least when I notice it). Is this normal? I thought it may be coming from the a/c or evaporator? I'm not a mechanic, but before taking it to the shop, I thought someone would know what I might be talking about. Thanks.

I recently purchased a 2008 Solstice GXP. Unfortunately, I parked it a few weeks ago for the winter and will be driving my Aurora for the winter season here in Edmonton, Alberta. I have driven my dream car" fro only 2000 KMs. However, while everything about the car is as wonderful as i expe3cgted it to be, there are several engine noises that the dealer's performance staff have indicated is "normal' on may of the Solstice a and Sky' turbos and that after 15,000 or so kilometers the sound usually will fade away or lighten. There are more noises at start up than when the engine warms up. One is a clicking type of sound and the other is a like an old windup clock sound. Does anyone have the same type of sounds an dif so, have the y subsided over time? I'm also planning to installl some performance enhancements such as the Kappasphere cold Air Intake and KS1` Sports Exhaust which are to increase the HP by 30. Any suggestions for me as to the sound, torque and HP from the types of installations? John
