How easily the top operates shouldn't be a point of discussion.
 
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.

again..creative packing just as Im sure all MX-5 owners do.....I can hang clothes on hangers behind the seats....I can pack for 5 days in the solstice...did for the first national meet in KC last July with my significant other riding as shotgun.......have had many long weekends so far in the car...without packing issues......again...creative packing two soft side duffels fit find in the car..and there are plent nooks and spaces to place other things......sure I cant get a hard side case ..but I can carry enough for a long weekend..to include several changes of clothes

did the dealer fix all under warranty?
 
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?

creative packing is not much of an issue in the MX-5 as it is in the Solstice. There is a decent amount of space in the MX-5 trunk.

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!!

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.

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!!...

having called a few dealers in the NE....CON, MASS, RI...I havent found a dealer yet with one not dealing at MSRP....if you have a specific dealer with Sols in stock that will deal at MSRP or lower.....pls email me.....and I will forward to several folks who would make the trip......and deal.......
