Here is a companion poll to compare the 06 benchmark poll to the new 07's. If possible please pin in the poll section under the 06 Quality poll for quick comparisons. Please only owners of 07 Solstice respond. If you have issues pop up after you have voted (you can make selections within the poll, but you can only vote once) just add a line to describe what issues you have had. Thanks

Note: If you have carrier issues please note if you have the new torque brace. It might be helpful if you include your manufacture date and / or date in service and mileage.

My 07 came in without a working A/C and wind noise on passenger with top up. Dropped it at the dealer for a day and 1/2 and they couldn't fix it in time. I missed it so bad I took it back. I'm gonna wait til my whole-week snowboarding trip in Mammoth to drop the car off there for them to fix. Other than that, no water leak no fluid leak or anything (knock on wood). Overal, I'm quite happy with my 07.

My 2-tone Sly was delivered with black steering wheel center section and there is a slight buzz from the driver's side sunvisor when driving on very rough roads. Dealer will fix during first oil change so I feel the car is trouble free. I'm still amazed at the price/value/quality equation that the car delivers and the new '07 warranty puts it over the top.

Yikes, I did not read the poll and voted. I do not even have a 2007, just a 2006. My mistake. I guess hooked on phonics did not work for me.

If it can be adjusted to remove 1 check box from top issues (leaks) it will be great.

Again I am sorry.

Sorry, me too; please delete shock/strut entry. I saw 'Poll' and had to vote, didn't see '2007' at start of line.

Happy to report no issues so far. Just got back from it's first major drive. Drove to just north of Philly Wednesday night for a seminar Thursday. Got back last night. 561 miles for the trip, 4256 on the car. Car is behaving itself fairly well so far.

   Shock leak and rear end whine

My Sly has developed a leak on the right rear shock. I don't abuse the car at all so I'm suprised . De4aler is replacing the shock as soon as he gets one in 3,745 miles on the car. I have also noticed a whine when I let off the gas between 35 and 45 MPH. Anyone else notice anything like that? What did the dealer do?

It could be misinterpreted as written. Could be taken as the poll being in 07, as opposed to a model year 07 pole .
