Pros: Sharp looks
Cons: Performance is very weak
A long time ago, I bought a 1985 Nissan Sentra that was gun-metal gray and had absolutely zero style. What it did, however, was provide years of fairly reliable driving of peppy acceleration and tight cornering. She finally went away at 186,000 miles,...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Toyota Reliability, Good Looks, Powerful Engine
Cons: Interior impossible to keep clean
The Bottom Line: A worthy adversary to the Honda Accord Coupe, the Solara balances good looks and style with Toyota quality.
The answer is yes. After a friend's RAV-4 was demolished, she had to look for another car. (Yes, this is the same friend who has twice previous had to search for a new car after a crash--and no, she wasn't driving this time either)
After...

Pros: Reliable, safe, comfortable, powerful V6., great options.
Cons: Thin Tires, Wish the Rear windows went down, No Power passenger seat
The Bottom Line: Like the 2door look and what goes with it? You'd be hard pressed to find better than the Solara SLEV6. It's great reliability makes it a solid used car.
My wife and I selected the Toyota Solara after test driving the Honda Accord (2 and 4 doors) the Volkswagen Passat, and the Camry and the Lexus IS 300. After all was said and done, we selected for the following reasons
Each applies to the Model we...

Pros: Toyota is a proven, solidly built and professionally supported vehicle
Cons: finding them
The Bottom Line: They will deliver good value year after year if properly maintained.
The Toyota Solara, is a stylish alternative to the 4 door sedan. The one thing I keep hearing about Camry is that it has become the generic family vehicle, and somewhat mundane. This may or may not be true (it's all relative) but the fact remains, when...

Pros: value, refinement, reliability, power, good looks, utility, V6 with a stick!
Cons: could be made more sporty; rear-seat pass thru too small
I just came back to the US and bought a Solara after reviewing dozens of models and trying to decide what I needed. It's closest competition was the Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe and the Acura 3.0 CL. It won out because Toyota was brave enough to pair a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth, luxurious, well-designed
Cons: Somewhat expensive - no deals available
The Bottom Line: Great if you want a quality convertible, but it is not a sporty car.
Sorry about the boring title, but Epinions doesn't yet recognize the existence of the Solara convertible, so I want to make it easy for people to find.
I used to have a Mustang GT convertible (see

Pros: Good looking and reasonably priced
Cons: HORRIBLE sound system
I recently bought the Toyota Solara Convertible and I really do enjoy
the car. It handles nicely....takes curves smoothly and drives relatively
quietly. It has a nice smooth ride and I think the car has all around
nice lines.

Pros: luxury reigns supreme
Cons: none! none at all..not one
I had the great privilege of driving this car for a week from Chicago to Boulder, CO this past September. It was a most incredible driving experience. I was thoroughly impressed. They almost had to peel me off the bumper to take the car back at the...

Pros: Resillient despite idiot owner (heals - would you believe)
Cons: Can't part with it for exciting new car. Love it too much.
Before I bought my Solara, I had a 1996 Lexus GS300. I couldn't get used to the stigma (if that's the correct word) of such an expensive car, and wanted to downgrade to something more... earthy? (I was 24 and in real estate, trying to create an image...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Solid, reliable, fun convertible
Cons: Sound system bass is boomy
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent car I highly recommend. It has all the features of a convertible or roadster with the practicality and usefulness of a larger car.
My wife and I bought a red SLE convertible for her in 2000. It was a difficult car to find, and we ended up driving about 200 miles to pick it up. We got a red with tan top. We wanted the black top in the promotional literature, but the dealers...

Pros: Classy, understated, very comfortable, very quiet.
Cons: Impractical design changes, mostly in trunk.
Background: Most of my experience with cars has been in lower price- and feature-ranges. I have owned three Civics and an older Camry automatic, which I liked very much, despite its advanced age. It really spoiled me.
I have tended to like...

Pros: Fast, Sporty, Luxurious

Are you looking at a few different cars, including the Solara? Do you want a sporty car, but don't want to give up luxury? This is the perfect car for you. I was debating upon a Honda Prelude, Honda Accord V6, Toyota Celica GT-S, Acura Integra Type-R,...

Pros: Great car, loads of fun
Cons: can't think of any at the moment
I am not a car expert, don't care to rate the cars based on their technical capabilities, and usually am not interested in the technical details (i.e I have no clue what a torque is, and I actually don't care if it gets to 60 mph in 5 or ,oh my god, 8...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quiet, smooth ride, extremely spacious, and TOYOTA!
Cons: My only problem is with the way the convertible top fits. Few colors for convertible.
The Bottom Line: If you want a spacious 2 door, the Solara is for you. From the quiet ride to the available options, I couldn't be happier.
I have always wanted a convertible, but I didn't want to sacrifice the spaciousness of a 4 door. After being crammed in the tiny backseats of many 2 door sports cars, I vowed never to buy a 2 door. However, finally, in 2000, Toyota solved my dilemma...
