I Miss My Toyota Camry Solara convertible
The Toyota Camry Solara 2004 convertible I own is one of the best cars I've ever driven. It gets good gas mileage, it picks up and goes, and it rides so smooth on the roads. Only negative fault I had was it was high on insurance. Especially because it was red. But over all terrific car

Nice comfortable ride. Nice sound system. Smooth ride.
The Toyota Solara is very dependable ride. It does need the doors to be resealed. The biggest thing I've had to do is replace the Ball bearings in the front. Other than just regular maintenance it runs like a champ. It currently has 222000 miles on it. I am getting around 28 mpg which is a few miles down from when I first bought it.

Convertible that is a comfortable, stylish and very quiet ride!
I love my 2004 Solara convertible. It is the most quiet car I have ever driven. It is extremely comfortable it even has seat warmers. The convertible top is easy to operate and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I bought it used even though it is an older vehicle It runs like a dream and I have 112,000 miles on it. I would buy another one

It is a reliable car and to maintain the car is really cheap.
I love the vehicle. I love it because it requires low maintenance. I love it because it's reliable. It had no major recalls at all.

Toyota Camry solara coupe v6.
Powerful engine, sunroof is a necessity, avoid black paint, twenty nine miles per gallon on the freeway, has two hundred thirty thousand miles on the engine with no problems, the car is a coupe and would highly recommend getting a four door sedan for ease of access into the back seat.

Great gas mileage, so I do not have to fill up that much at all.
I love that despite its age it has held up to great wear and tear. I wish the brake calipers weren't so problematic.

My vehicle is perfect. It has lasted many years and still drives and looks great. I have received multiple compliments and I enjoy driving it.

Toyota makes a good reliable vehicle.
It is reliable and had good features, but it is getting old. The convertible is really nice when the weather is good. It is not bad with the top up in cold weather.

An old 2 door Toyota solara
It is an old car so there are problems from time to time. But even though the car is old it still runs good for the most part and gets me where I need to go. It's not great in gas but it could be worse. And since it's old the air conditioner doesn't really work which isn't great in the summer
accountCircle Zac B
I still love it because I can fit a lot of my friends and it still is a car.
It room well but has little trust space hard to fit a lot of. Groceries it also makes a funny noise when we drive sometimes.
accountCircle Mary K
It is been very dependable.
It is a good car. . Being a Toyota means it should be reliable. It is not what I was really wanting when I bought it.
accountCircle Richard L
The safety devices, there location and how they function.
Not enough power to climb up hill and mountain sides. The interior is a bit too small for my family so looking for a minivan.
accountCircle Tracey N
It's a good model, Camry's are a good choice if you're looking to buy a decent sized, nice car.
It's comfortable and it gets me where I need to go. However, it isn't the newest car and not one that I chose for myself. It's not in good condition but there are a few noticeable flaws.
