What’s the 0 to 60 time on a Pontiac Solstice?
A five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic is optional for either engine. Even with the base engine, performance is respectable, with a 0-60-mph time of 7.7 seconds for manual-equipped cars. The engine’s slow-revving personality makes it feel somewhat lazy around town, however.
Is the Pontiac Solstice a two seat car?
Pontiac’s first attempt at a two-seat roadster is mostly a success, as all the necessary ingredients are here: a powerful front-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, a fully independent suspension, big wheels and tires and a close-to-perfect weight balance.
What kind of brakes does a Pontiac Solstice have?
The GXP provides thrilling performance; a manual-equipped version we tested did the 0-60-mph sprint in a scant 5.8 seconds. The manual transmission’s heavy shifter feel and wide gear spacing, however, put a damper on driver enjoyment. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard on both trims, with ABS optional on the base car and standard on the GXP.
