Exceptional Coupe

I recently bought a 1999 Toyota Solara SE V6 with nearly 170,000 miles on it. The vehicle was a one owner, bought in the same city where I live and in excellent condition. The vehicle is a pleasure to drive with a nice responsive engine. The interior is very comfortable and the entire cabin is well designed. This is a great coupe, too bad it is no longer being produced. If you are thinking about buying a Toyota Solara, I know you will be satisfied with your purchase.

This is an awesome car

Economical, durable, and reliable, with a double-din opening for the radio; I installed a bluetooth/xmnavtraffic/Ipod beauty. Highway cruising is a breeze, and with the V6 and five speed, and low-rolling resistance tires, I can cruise up to 33 mpg on the highway. And, if necessary, can nail it and merge on short, outdated onramps where I live with a 0-60 in the mid 7's. Really, a fantastic, affordable combination on the road for under $10k (55k miles 3 years ago). I highly recommend.

wish they still made them

Bought my 99 Solara SEV6 brand new. Still looks new..In fifteen years I've spent a little over two thousand dollars total on parts including two sets of tires. 152000 miles on it and still runs great.
Why is it whenever someone has a great product, they stop making them ?

One Remarkable Car.......................

I just purchased a 99' Solara SLE, and have been having a lot of buyers remorse. But the more I drive and am surprised by the car's performance, the more I satisfied I am about buying a 8 year old car with 98,000 miles on it.
Afterall; it is a Toyota, and Toyota builds a fine automobile.

Got this car witth 88,000 on it. It now has 148,000. Other than the a/c replacement, I have had no problems. Thinking about trading when it get to 300. But then again I may still keep it. 4 years and still going strong.

This car was bought new in 1999 for commuting and then about 2007 it was used by my oldest son and then the youngest until he was out of college. I have been driving for 3 years now again and have 236,000 miles on car. Love it and have minimal issues with any system on car. 3.0 liter manual

Great Car for the Coupe conscious with impeccable reliability, wonderful and spirited performance with the 5 speed manual. They do not make them like this anymore.

1999 solara
by Dee

I bought this car in 2003 with 23K on it. I now have 97K on it. I love this car. It is stylish & reliable. the only issue I've had is the driver's window motor broke. The visor mirrors were off when I got it. other than that it is great. Wish they wouldn't have changed the styling--newer ones don't look so sporty anymore.

Best two door on the market!

I adore my Toyota Solara and planned to drive the wheels off of it. I am currently at 135,000 and it still handles like a dream. Now I plan to update to a four door Toyota. I suggest SLE models. The moonroof and leather are great options.
