The Toyota Solara was introduced in 1999 to provide coupe and convertible alternatives to the top-selling Camry sedan. The Solara had its genesis in the mid-1990s Camry Coupe, but that model was dropped after 1997. The new Solara offered a greater departure from Camry styling and mechanics. While the platform is still the same, the coupe features a sleeker roof line and unique front and rear styling. The Solara also uses a tightened suspension and a firmer steering system. The Toyota coupe undergoes a mid-second generation styling refresh for 2007, marked by noticeable revisions to both the front and rear ends. Toyota has also added safety items like a tire pressure monitor and side curtain airbags. New options include Bluetooth and a voice-activated navigation system. The Solar is available as a coupe or a convertible, and each body is offered in three trim levels. The SE is the well-equipped base model and Sport in the mid-level performance-oriented trim. The SLE provides an upscale finish, adding wood trim, power leather seats, and a premium JBL audio system. Two engine options are offered. The standard power plant is a 2.4 liter four cylinder which provides 157 horsepower and 158 pound-feet of torque. The larger engine is a 3.3 liter V-6, generating 210 horsepower and 220 pound-feet of torque. The four cylinder is available with either a five speed manual or five speed automatic transmission. The V-6 can only be paired with the automatic. Fuel efficiency is 21/29 mpg for the V-6, and 25/34 mpg with the four. Expectations of the Solara as a true sport coupe may lead to some disappointment. Toyota has excelled at blending a variety of desirable features like safety, comfort, reliability, and refinement into all of its cars, and the Solara is no different. However, lackluster performance has steadily been the most common complaint from drivers.

Nice car. Not sure if its this one or one just like it I took to my mechanic for inspection prior to purchase. He charged me $150 but spent a lot of time and gave me a lot of good information. The engine and transmission were fine. However, underneath the car he detected multiple leaks. The suspension needed replacing and he didnt feel it would be completely safe until that happened. So, yes it is an old car and I anticipated some repair, but this was too much to consider. Because of this experience, I hesitate to consider this make and model as a possible purchase So Im looking at other other options like VW Eos Convertible but will not purchase any used vehicle without mechanic inspection.May 25, 2024

The details given in the description of line were spot on! The car is a GREAT value for what we paid. The interior and exterior are impeccable. Heated seats, sleek inside, adjustable cup holder, door cup holders in the back, spacious. Perfect. Jan 10, 2024

This particular vehicles interior was about as totally trashed as could be. The dashboard needs to be completely redone. The hot sun has really ravaged the dashboard. The drivers seat also needs to be redone. Its ripped and worn in several areas. The front passenger seat is going to need repair or replacement, especially if you want it to match the drivers seat after its replaced. The rear seating areas are okay as is. Clearly, there werent many people who rode back there. Its not what youd call a roomy back seat. The carpeting is quite dirty, and probably would justify being replaced, because its just well-worn. The convertible top isnt long for this world. It looks like its the original top. The body was straight with the exception of one minor dent, which could possibly be repaired without the need for a respray. Mechanically, the car seemed to be quite good, with just the hint of noise under the hood. It sounded to me like perhaps a pulley or tensioner needed some lubrication. The engine felt smooth and strong. The transmission shifted smoothly.Aug 27, 2022
