To bring you a good overall assessment of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice roadster, the experts at TheCarConnection.com have brought the most useful information from various review sources. TheCarConnection.com's editors put both Solstice models through the paces on a variety of roads and include their own impressions where useful.The Pontiac Solstice, the sibling to Saturn's sleek Sky roadster, is available in two main versions for 2009: base and GXP. Both trims are also now available in a stylish new coupe body style. The Solstice comes standard with a 2.4-liter, 177-horsepower inline four-cylinder. The high-performance GXP model features a 260-horsepower turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, but a firmer suspension setting, GXP-specific 18-inch wheels with high-performance tires, and GM's StabiliTrak stability control system give it well-rounded performance credentials. On both models, a five-speed manual transmission is standard, a five-speed automatic optional. Both Solstice models have rear-wheel drive. |
