Welcome to the forum, I think this may be the first Solstice here.

I always had to have someone drive a Solstice into the garage for me, because I couldn't operate the clutch....my knee would hit the hush panel/steering wheel.....But we had a customer who was 6'3" who had no problem....

They were a nice little car.....liked the manual top.....only problem I ever found with the vehicle, was the rear end making noise(clunk).....

Also a shudder/groan from rear end on turns in parking lot.....

Also, I seem to remember a recall on the rear end pinion seal....

Also, replaced more cup holders from people leaning on them.....

And you had to be a contortionist, to access the center console while driving......

And forget about trying to make out with someone in the car....unless you had the top down and you were on the same side...:D

Thanks Mike,
Too bad not other Solstice here , I was in a Solstice forum but before I could decide to support the forum, I like to get to know it first before I give money, they decided to cut off all the pictures in a strong arm move. Not the kind of response that works with me, in fact just the very thing that moves me to never join. I like to chat with other car guys and we all love our babies and we are passionate about it even if it's an Edsel , no offense Edsel lovers, just not my cup of tea. Maybe I will attract other Solstice owners that have grown tired of the Solstice forum, enough of that no sour grapes !
Regards William

Greeting Tech II ,
Ha! Ha! Ha!, Yeah they are a little cramped here and there but fun to drive , get good gas mileage and really smooth on the open road. Mine is an automatic, I'm 6 foot , fits me like a glove and there is a way to get in and out that you learn after you own one. Duck soup with the top down! I bought this one from a GM tech and have no trouble with the rear end, the right oil change on the rear end fixes that from what I understand. I guess all the little problems went away real quick with this one. Yeah cup holders not well thought out but I found a fix for that.

Shoot me a PM, I'm curious as to what this other forum is that you speak of.

Where did those cup holders come from?

DDM Works makes a replacement panel that goes around the parking brake and it has the cup holders made into the new panel. Looks like it came from the factory that way doesn't it.
