Replying to: pao (Oct 30, 2006 10:01 am) I also chose the solstace based on unproven reliability, I mean it's sexy and that's what matters, not that consumer reports reliability ratings for the miata make it look like a corolla. And being in the military has helped me with packing as well. In fact I think anyone who buys a solstace should have been in the military anyway, what's the point of having trunk space when you can always spend additional money on luggage that will fit in the solstace. Regular luggage and trunk space is over rated. By the way did I mention how sexy the solstace is? Oh and thankfully there are lots of reviews and people to back me up on this point! I mean it may be a new car but I can always sell it next year if it turns out to be as reliable as a pontiac. And if it turns out to be as reliable as a miata I just might keep it. But at least it's sexy. I mean... it's like the beer commercials right? If I'm in a solstace I must be sexy too? Or is it that I have a big... er.. I just can't seem to remember...

Replying to: dumbluck (Nov 18, 2006 11:08 pm) That is totally subjective. Obviously it is not of importance for you. However, there are many that will drive a roadster year round. So, I guess it does become a point of discussion, as well as trunk space. What will happen if you just want to take a weekend trip in your roadster with your spouse/significant other. Sure as heck can't put anything in the trunk of the Solstice. You might have to wear the same close all weekend long.

Replying to: manybmws (Nov 19, 2006 4:24 pm) if they couldnt adjust the door gap...I would say find another dealer....what we are finding is poor uninformed service departments....vice GM issues..... care to be more specific....oil leak or differential leak... top failed to secure in back..not quite sure what you mean squeak in dash..from where gap..can be repaired or cant be adjusted? |

Miata vs. Solstice? Just look around: the Solstice is in short supply, being sold for sticker or (more often) $1500 over sticker. That's assuming a dealer even has one. I can walk to any Mazda dealer and get a Miata in 5 minutes, and probably deal on it too......on the other hand, it is clear that GM can produce many thousands more Solstices than it is making now. The co. does not, b/c this is its status car. GM, crank out more Solstices!!

Replying to: walterquint (Nov 22, 2006 5:21 pm) I guess it depends on where you live. The Pontiac dealer down the street from me has had the same 3 Solstices out front for 2 months now with "Save Thousands!" written on a tag hanging in the window. One is red, one is bright yellow and the other silver. If you are in the North East, you can pretty much get a deal on any rear drive car this time of year, except the Shelby GT500. |

Replying to: walterquint (Nov 22, 2006 5:21 pm) Thats hilarious....come up here to New England and you can find any color solstice you want instock for immediate delivery. You can also get the car for invoice without much effort. Guess the bloom is off the rose already...how about the fools that paid MSRP or more!!...
