Like all roadsters, the Solstice is intended to be driven top down. However, when the need does arise to raise the top, one expects to have uninterrupted views of the traffic around them. Not surprisingly, the Pontiac Solstice offers good visibility with the top lowered but when the roof is raised, the thick quarters can require a double take before lane changes. The side mirrors do a good job of showing the view, as does the rearview mirror despite the small back window. My only visibility issue was a bit of uncertainty when it came to trusting the passenger’s side mirror but that was quickly overcome.
