The 2003 Toyota Camry Solara was mostly unchanged from the previous year, when it had received a facelift. The only change, some might say for the worse, was that the automatic transmission was no longer available with the V6 engine.

The 2003 Camry Solara came in two trim levels: the base SE and the well-appointed SLE. The SE came standard with a four cylinder, 2.4 liter engine with 157 horsepower. The SLE came standard with a V6, 3.0-liter engine. Fuel economy for the 2003 Camry Solara is about 20 to 30 miles per gallon depending on the engine. It was also available as a convertible.

Drivers like the car for its Camry-like reliability and smooth ride in a much sportier and younger package. Some drivers complain that the upholstery attracts lint and needs to be cleaned often.
