In 1999, Toyota reintroduced the Camry coupe, which had been missing from the best-selling car's lineup for five years. This time, however, they gave it a distinct look and identity and named it the Camry Solara. The Solara offered drivers everything that made the Camry a best-seller, but with a sportier, swoopy appearance and performance suspension and steering that means it drives more like a sports car than a Camry sedan.
The 1999 Camry Solara came standard with a 2.2 liter, four-cylinder engine. Optional in the SE trim level was a V6, 3.0 liter engine, which came standard in the SLE. Fuel economy is about 20 to 30 miles per gallon, depending on the engine. The 1999 Toyota Camry Solara was one of the few coupes on the market that was available with a manual transmission in the V6. Despite being a two-door coupe, the 1999 Solara still offered a reasonable amount of roominess, and good-sized adults can fit comfortably in the back seat.
Drivers of the 1999 Camry Solara praise the car for its typical Toyota reliability and quality. Some complaints include the expensive price tag, especially compared to the Camry sedan, and the lack of some convenience features like an electronic trunk release.
4.5 Overall rating
(27 reviews)Awesome car. Sports car feel. Fast acceleration for a 4 cyl. Roomy and comfortable interior. Car screams quality. My fuel economy is better than stated on mpg sites. Hasn't needed any major repairs at 70k. I get compliments galore. I have owned this car for almost ten years and don't think I'll ever sell it. Cheap to own. It's a keeper. I love my car!
The Solara has been a great addition to our family. It hardly ever needs maintenance and performs well in any condition. It's fun and comfortable to drive on the highway and has a surprisingly large amount of cargo space. It's a blast to drive!
Performance - strong acceleration, smooth engine pulls especially strong at high rpms. 4 wheel disc brakes provide excellent stopping power. handling is ok, suspension provides a good compromise between comfort and handling. I wish there was a little less body lean though. huge turning radius. Build Quality - no squeaks or rattles. car is well insulated and is extremely quiet when windows are up and sunroof is closed. all electronics work perfectly. spare tire improperly secured in trunk. one of the rear cup holders broke. small hole in passenger seat. clutch throw out bearing died 97,670. no doubt the previous driver rode the clutch. Appearance - distinctive, but conservative (read: bland) exterior. beautiful tan interior. supple leather. tasteful faux wood trim. Cost of Ownership - decent gas mileage, mid 20s. 18.5 gallon tank makes me cry every time i fill up, but gets 400+ miles per tank. Fun Factor - Not the sportiest car in the world. Car feels heavy through turns. 5 speed manual is smooth but isn't as precise as mazdas. Extremely comfortable car to cruise around in, windows down, sunroof open, 200watt jbl speaker system blasting. Also very quiet at highway speeds. Can drive at 100+ with little wind or road noise. Overall - It's a very refined car, more suited for the older driver. Younger buyers would be better off with a compact, which are definitely more fun to drive, especially on backroads.
The best car I have ever owned. It seems like a luxury car, VERY quiet and smooth driving. It does everything very well, and gets great gas mileage, in a mid size car. I love it and plan to keep it for a LONG LONG time. The 2.2L engine could use a little more power, but I have learned to adapt. (My previous car was a V-8 Mustang GT.)
