Convince me to buy a Solistice GXP

[Little G]

My heart keeps telling me yes, but my head keeps telling me no...

If you have the funds or means to get it, it wont strangle hold you on anything else, then get it!

Red or Black...thats it. Any other color will be fail.

i sat in one the other day and made me feel like a moron for dumping so much money into my camaro.

[Knipps]

nah don't buy it.. get a sky :mrgreen:

[Squirrel]

grab the playgirl on your desk, throw it in the air, if it lands front cover up - yes, back - no

[sweetbmxrider]

um no

[damon_Z]

If you do get one, then wait for the hardtop version to come out with the extra horsepower. Drive it for over 100,000 miles and put in an LSX engine.

lol@Squirrel :lol:


I saw a mallet sky around here - get that!

I will say yes, but this car is meant for a person of a small build. I dont know how to or short you are. But you need to be somewhat short to sit in this car comfortably. I am 5'10" and my elbows were hitting both sides. There wasnt much room to shift the manual shift. if my arm came back for example to shift into second gear my arm would hit the back of the car.

[BigAls87Z28]

Little G aka Craig is about 4'3" give or take. Fitment isnt too bad. But im 6'1" 250, and while its cramped like a mutha in the hard top, I had zero problem in the Solstice or Sky fitting. Its tight, but I didnt expect Caprice-like room.

[BonzoHansen]

James (scooter) has one, he's a stocky guy and seems to fit ok. Zero trunk room, though.

[Savage_Messiah]

Paul just got a Sky redline.


Haven't you wanted this car for years??

[PBodyGT87]

As if you needed convincing, Craig. Jesus, what is this?

There is a bright yellow GXP sitting in the showroom where I work. It's an automatic tho. Looks like a fun car but I like the way the Sky looks a little better.

[BigAls87Z28]

IMO, they both look good.

Solstice has a sexy curvy body, the Sky has a sharp edged, chisled body.
Either way...Im getting a Camaro.

[PolarBear]

You can sit/buy mine, lol. Even if it is a base model. I want a hard top GXP when they come out. You know you want one. Ill let you sit in mine again, maybe even let you drive it this time

[jin1481]

i say go with sky for looks, but performance wise either of them is a good choice and should be had

[Pampered-Z]

Second car = Yes, Sole forms on trans = No.

No truck space, suck in snow, only run on Premiun gas.

[foff667]

I say if you've paid down all of your debt yes, go ahead & treat yourself. If you are still battling with any credit issues this will only exasperate this situation and tie you up for another 5 years. I myself would love to buy a new car tomorrow however with the house & debt I know its just not the best thing to do right now. I'm pretty sure you can make the right decision on your own without anyone needing to tell you.

Good luck!

:cheers:

You CAN run on lower octane. I usually just run plus in the car and when I was really strapped for cash I put regular in it twice. Doesnt really show any performance decrease running plus in the car. Now that I dont drive for work with the car anymore I may go back to super though.

my SKY is awesome, get the solstice GXP or the SKY redline. you'll be happy with either.

and.. i was quite amazed at home much stuff i managed to fit into that trunk last week on my trip to nj... a small craftsman floor jack(in plastic case), a black&decker grinder(in the case) a 20" craftsman tool box, several peices of clean clothes, 2 heavy army issue fleeces, my leather jacket, some girl scout cookies, a stack of papers and magazines, and a roll of toilet paper... lol.

Yeah but how many cup holders does it have? Thats the true sign of capacity :D

3... for a two seater which is A+ in my book :lol:

[Little G]

I have identified a Black GXP five-speed with black leather interior (with the red stitching!). This looks to be a reality.

[V]

yes, 3 cup holders.... im still trying to figure that one out.
however the single one off on the pass side of the console appears it could be in the way if there are 2 people in the car so i assume thats for single rider use, the other paired cupholder is then for when there are 2 people. lol

[foff667]

I think I remember reading the newer 07-08 Miata's had 5 or 6 if im not mistaken so its got the solstice beaten hands down in that category :lol:

[Squirrel]

matts tacoma has 13
