Fun car with convertible top

I love popping to the top and take a drive in the mountains or driving down to beaches of Tybee Island, Ga. I wish I did not have to use car for daily commute. I would like to preserve it. I may get another car and keep this one for fun. I have no idea why Toyota stopped making this car. It is affordable fun with a big engine.

Fun car with convertible top

Heads Up!!! This car uses premium gasoline. You will DEFINITELY feel the performance difference between premium and regular gas. I don't like paying $3+ per gallon but it is a trade off to smooth acceleration when merging into highway traffic and changing lanes. I wish I did not have to use car for daily commute. I would like to preserve it. I have no idea why Toyota stopped making this car. It is affordable fun with a big engine.

Convertible top

I am currently at 65,000 miles on my car. The road noise is getting louder over time (with top up). I need a new set of tires. Hopefully, the new set of tires may quiet some of the noise.

Beautiful car

I LOVED this car. Even though it was 12 years old, it looked and drove like new. It had 294,960 miles on it when I unfortunately hit a deer. It was still drivable but too expensive to fix. I was so sad to get rid of it - such a fun car to drive!

Sporty little thing.

I loved my car. It was very dependable and had well over 100,000 miles on it when I traded it in. I only traded it in because I felt I wanted a newer car. I had it for 6 years. I had three Camry's before this one and they all treated me well. Plus Toyota has the best waiting area and they give free haircuts and manicures and pedicures too.

It's most reliable car I had.

This has a great steer control, great power, pick up. Plenty of legroom in front and back, a nice and big trunk and have a look of a sports car, I wonder why Toyota stop making this machine any more, if they come out with this again, I would be the first one to buy it. Loved it, even though it has 214000 on it, it didn't feel like it.

Great Summer Car

The Solara is very roomy for the driver and passengers. The truck is roomy but can't fit a bike. The power driver seat adjust to any position. The only down side is the position of the headrest. Only downside is when it rains, the water gets directly inside the car when you have to roll down the window or when you have to get in or out of the car.

Most reliable car ever

Owned a loaded convertible sle and loved it. Great passenger and trunk space, gas mileage, and rock solid reliability. I definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a reliable and practically fun convertible.
