Pros

It's a convertible, it's got a V6, it's fun.

Cons

Noisy with the convertible roof, not great for families due to limited backseat space.

Great Convertible For Young People Or Those With Kids Out Of The House — Owned this car for 12 years and it was a great car to drive but with a family it is not as convenient as we could barely fit 2 of them in the backseat. With the convertible roof it is a lot of fun in the summer and because it's one of the biggest convertibles out there it definitely does not feel cramped.

Huge trunk, nice styling, great controls, tons of power, nothing ever breaks.

Great Sporty Car — This car is great if you want a performance vehicle that is different from the rest and easy to own. Trunk is much larger than most sedans, in crown Vic land! It has Camry reliability with 200 horses and a tight suspension. Feels very safe with its high belt line and side airbags. Traction control is great in winter weather. I've loved this car but with baby on the way it's time to get something with more doors.

Nice Little Sports Like Car. — It's got 202,000 miles on it and nothing major has happened to it. Great little sports like car. Comfortable ride quality. Could use a little bit more power. Looks great for the year. Good little all around vehicle. Quite fun to drive

it's so much fun

Cons

it's fast

It's Mine :d — It's acceleration could use some help but what can you expect from a heavier car like that. Regular repairs are required. It's so much fun i feel like I'm flying when i drive. It's got an awesome ride, so smooth. I love the sport package too, it makes the car even better to drive then usual.

Comfortable Car — Fun to drive, feels luxury in it, very comfortable, sometimes frustrate about handling. Gas mileage of car was not very good, around 17-20 mpg. The cost of fixing the car was really cheap, just like all other Japanese cars. Overall this car was very enjoyable!

190hp is good but not good enough, unless it was a TRD Solara

No Regrets Having A Car Like This. — The interior is just as good looking as the outside of the vehicle. When you sit in the cabin, it makes you feel like your in a luxury car. No corners were cut to save money for the interior at all! The exterior styling of this car is one Toyota's first make of this car and one of their best looking cars. Lexus was going to bring this out as a Lexus but Toyota needed a sports car on their production line! The performance of this car can creep on you. With 190hp(200ft. lb of torque) at the crank, the 3 liter V6 moves quickly and quietly.
