Designers did a good job on the Pontiac Solstice’s secondary switchgear – with two exceptions. Everything is well marked, logically located and easily accessible except for the knob used to recline the seatbacks. Placed low and between the seat and the door panel, this knob makes adjusting the seats with the doors closed virtually impossible. A simpler lever would have been a better solution. The Solstice also lacks a central door lock button. The doors lock automatically when the car reaches a certain speed, but must be manually unlocked. And while the Solstice is small, the reach to the passenger door lock is long one over a tall center console. My daughter was also dismayed by the lack of a vanity mirror for the passenger. After a ride with the wind whipping at your locks, you might expect that to be a given. My ten-year-old did.
