Replying to: jenniferwalker (Jan 06, 2008 10:54 am) you can probably come down some on the Solstice.......is it from a Pontiac dealer....the 07 has a 5/100k on the drive train..but I dont know if its transferable between owners....$5k on your mustang.....7 years old and 91K sounds reasonable as well.....check KBB for trade in value.....   you can get a better deal searching for the GMPP extended warranty plan on line vs your dealer as well if you are interested in that...
#1297 of 1325 Engine Noise by ibheath Mar 16, 2008 (7:46 pm)
I purchased a 2007 Solstice GXP with 600 miles on it. After 200 miles the car began to make horrible engine noise. I took it to the dealer who stated it was normal and handed me a flier stating that General Motors is aware of this problem and until they can figure out how to fix it I will have to live with my car sounding like a diesel truck. I have had people come and knock on my window and let me know that there is something wrong with my car. I again took my car into the dealership and this time the mecanics and lot boys came running out to hear what was making such a loud noise. Guess what- it was my car!! Once again I was handed a flier stating this knocking in my engine is "normal" and that General Motors is aware of the problem but doesn't know how to fix it and won't let anyone attempt to. Now my car has been in a total of 4 times as requested by the Attorney General all because the General Motor company is aware that there is a "problem" with my car. All of the employees at the dealership have admitted there is a serious problem in the engine of my car and they can't fix it because of General Motors. I am just wondering if anybody else out there is going through the same bull**** as I am. Don't get me wrong- I adore this car. But I don't like driving something that souds like a big rig driving down the road.

Hey you Solstice and Sky owners,   I'm wondering if my golf clubs will fit in the trunk space of the Solstice/Sky with or without the top down? Will 2 bags? I'm not talking the huge cart bags, just asmall stand bag.   Thanks Replies to this message: pao (Mar 24, 2008 8:17 am)

Replying to: srushing (Mar 23, 2008 12:37 pm) I know at least one bag will fit...and I beleive two will two if smaller ones...you can make a little more room by pulling out the air compressor and storing it behind the drivers seat as well.....bags should fit with the top down..go to the solsticeforum.com to do a search..there are pics of bags in trunk there...also if new owner...join that national org at nassoa.org
#1301 of 1325 Leaking roof on 07 Solstice by stobar Mar 27, 2008 (4:09 pm)
I'm took my 07 Solstice in to get a few corrections made and one problem I had was with a leaking roof. I got the old "cannot duplicate problem" response. I came out to the car one evening to have the drivers side map pocket full of water after a good rain storm. Has anyone else had problems with leaking roof. I'd like to throw something back at the dealer for not being able to duplicate the problem. Thanks. Replies to this message: stobar (Mar 29, 2008 6:10 am)

Replying to: stobar (Mar 27, 2008 4:09 pm) Well they were able to fix the leaky roof. Stated the drivers door glass was out of adjustment and not touching the seal correctly. They aligned and adjusted so hope that takes care of the leak. Also had the passenger door buttons fixed as all went dead. There was a circuit wire that wasn't grounded correctly. Last thing I forgot to get them to fix was the auto adjustment button for the passenger side mirror that's on the drivers side door. It stopped working. Oh well, will wait for next visit.
#1303 of 1325 Question about the convertible top by busiris Mar 30, 2008 (7:12 pm)
I ahve seen several Saturn Sky's and Pontiac Solstice's around.....both are great looking cars. However, I have yet to see one that, when the roof in in the closed (up) position, the rear sides have wrinkles in the top...not severe wrinkles, but noticible, none the less. Am I just "lucky" to see the cars with this issue, or is this a "condition" that is normal with these models? It just seems to me that modern cars shouldn't have wrinkles in the fabric in this day and age....   Again, I really like the car design. I hear that a hard-top is in the future...anything to that rumor? Replies to this message: pao (Mar 31, 2008 11:18 am) busiris (Apr 02, 2008 11:40 am) pao (Apr 03, 2008 5:38 am)

Replying to: busiris (Mar 30, 2008 7:12 pm) wrinkles are due to the stowage of the wings in the trunk...they go away in when they heat up in the sun...and yes a targa hard top coupe was introduced at the NY auto show for an 09 release www.solsticeforum.com www.nassoa.org Replies to this message: busiris (Apr 02, 2008 11:40 am) pao (Apr 03, 2008 5:38 am)

Replying to: pao (Mar 31, 2008 11:18 am) I think we must be referring to different wrinkles. I have yet to see (and I have seen quite a few in store parking lots, etc.) Sky's and Solstice's without at least some wrinkles on the cloth "wings" behind the side windows. On the rare occasion that I have been by a dealer that has one out on the lot, even they have a couple of wrinkles (on a Sunday afternoon, with the dealership closed) in the same area.   My wife has a Mini convertible, and 15 minutes after the top is raised (other than on a cold winter day) almost any sign of a wrinkles has disappeared. I also look at other cars on the road, like Miatas, BMW Z-4's, etc., and I rarely see wrinkles in their convertible tops.   I am considering a vehicle of this type, and really like the body style of the Sky/Solstice, but frankly, I'm not sure that I would feel comfortable buying one with this condition. Surely, I haven't seen only vehicles with the top recently raised... Replies to this message: pao (Apr 03, 2008 5:38 am)
