2009 Pontiac Solstice

One of the recent convertible sportsters that have caught the imagination of the driving public in the last few years has been the Pontiac Solstice.  In the same vain as the great Mazda Miata did about two decades ago, the Pontiac Solstice is a great looking, functional and powerful vehicle being offered at a great price.  If you are looking for a vehicle that offers plenty of fun, peppy performance and the ability to tune it for more greatness, it is worth checking out the 2009 Pontiac Solstice.

The Pontiac Solstice is currently the top selling roadster in the US and it has a lot to do with its looks and performance.  The 2009 coupe has taken its design one step further with a nice fastback shaped roofline, plenty of classic lines and nice looking spoiler.  In addition the targa roof makes it easy for those that enjoy both the wind in their hair on sunny days and a practical car during the winter to rejoice.  The roof panel is about 31 pounds and can be removed or installed in a few minutes.

Plenty Under the Hood
The 2009 Pontiac Solstice is a light car, which most would assume, and has a very peppy 2.4L Ecotec four cylinder engine.  This engine generates 173 horsepower.  For those looking for lots of performance, there is also a 2.0L turbocharged engine delivering a whopping 260 horsepower.  Besides have a decent engine, the interior is quite comfortable and designed with access to storage.  While storage space is not sufficient for those with large families, for the single driver or for those buying this vehicle for recreational purposes, it will definitely suffice.   Perhaps the best part is the price of this vehicle.  With many options, expect to pay under $30K for both the 2.0L turbocharged the 2.4L Ecotec four cylinder model.
