Test Drive!

As you may or may not know, I have been looking at the little two seater convertible sports cars.  I want something that gets pretty good gas mileage as I like to travel a lot.  I don't want anything really exotic like a Porsche, Audi or a BMW, so I set out to test drive the Pontiac Solstice! (Not that I wouldn't want a Porsche, but I am not married to a foreign car mechanic!)


Wow! what an awesome ride that Pontiac Solstice was!  She was black, with leather seats, convertible, rear wheel drive and a GXP!  For those of you who don't know what the GXP is, it means TURBO!  0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds that Solstice is a gorgeous car and a quick one!  Equipped with satellite radio and Onstar.  I was very impressed, but alas this is not the car for me! *sigh*


Seeing as the Saturn Skye is basically the same car, I am also eliminating it from my list of considerations.


When the top is down on the solstice, it folds away into the trunk and there is no trunk room whatsoever!  Well I guess when I travel I could have the top up, but then why bother with the convertible?  I need something that has room enough for an overnight bag or two and two camera bags and maybe a tripod!


Now that I know the Solstice isn't going to fit into my life until they change that storage space issue, I have been looking at the little Mazda Miata.  I will be test driving one very soon!  I am also considering the Toyota Solara even though it has a back seat and the Honda S2000.

Go online and check out Edmunds.com.
Read the owners comments and the authors comments on the car. Edmunds is a one stop shop for researching a vehicle.
Good Luck.

Brenda you might want to talk to your insurance company first, some of these cars have bad rating with the insurance company's, it might help you make a good choice..
