2010 Pontiac Solstice

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2010 Solstice.

The 2010 Pontiac Solstice, the final model year of a run spanning 2006 to 2010, arrives with a reliability narrative defined by a dramatic decline in owner complaints—from a peak of 289 in 2007 to a low of just 36 in 2009—suggesting that the issues which plagued earlier examples were largely resolved by the time this last iteration rolled off the line.
