It is a slick ride. I clean it with pride.

Performance is amazing. 200 horsepower will really keep the ball rolling. It goes 0-60 in approximately 7 seconds and is not afraid of going fast.

Dob S

Toyota puts out a good product, all our cars have over 175,000 and my friends Toyota has 350,000 on it

The car has been wonderful in all aspects including price, power, longevity. One thing it sits kinda low for older adults.

Guy M

Convertible always fun. Will buy another.

Great reliability and performance. Convertible is fun. Great gas mileage and room for passengers. Comfortable to drive and easy to maneuver. Can always rely on it performing as expected. Good looking, has not gone out of style. Would buy another only newer for sportiness.

Kayla H

Toyota solara convertible.

This car is quite old, but still runs great. I love Toyotas, and will definitely plan to buy another one when this one finally quits. This model is also a convertible, which makes it a lot of fun to drive in the warmer months. It is a reliable little sedan, that has brought me halfway across the country and back without any issues.

Toyotas are very Reliable

Easy to drive. Easy dashboard. Comfy. Good visibility.

Tamara C

It has power and a lot of get-up-and-go.

No complaints. I love everything about my car. It fits me like a glove. I have always loved Toyotas.

Tom W

Handles great at all speeds steering smoothly.

None. Great vehicle. Convertible for the summer, good mileage, has everything I need. Stereo has great sound and air works perfectly.

Gigi H

Love the car, like no one should.

Love it!!! Don't want anything else. It's great for the family. Convertible is bangin. No I will not sale.

Negative Owner Reviews

Ellisa D

Unfortunately, it needs a right rear turn signal. It needs new tires and the front brakes fixed before winter sets in.

I don't own the vehicle, but I pay the insurance for it. It needs a lot of work and my daughter picks me up and takes me shopping. It matters not whether I like or dislike it. I appreciate the time that is taken to go places because neither I nor my husband are able to drive anymore.

Marissa T

Comfortable and worth the price.

I like the car but it is old and does not have an aux cord which is disappointing. I do love the convertible look but wish it had four doors to make getting passengers in easier.

Priscilla M

My little trooper of a car.

My car has a few problems with the Cadillac converter. It's red and is a two-door car. We just fixed the electric fan and put in a new windshield.

Looks like a race car but with the luxury of a sedan.

The Toyota solara is a pretty decent car even 18 years later it still looks pretty good for the age. The coupe body styling is nice . Can't think of anything wrong with it the ac is very powerful it's good on gas the stock speakers are good. Not a lot has gone wrong except the alternator. Perfect for young drivers .

Ariel G

Good gas mileage, but only two doors.

Good gas mileage, but there’s only two doors which is hard and annoying because I have twin 2 year old's that I have to get in their car seats. Wish it was four doors. Kind of an old car and I would prefer something much newer. The interior is not the color I like at all.

April H

Very reliable and well built, I always recommend Toyotas!.

Even though it is an older model, it still runs very well. Any problem I've had with this car has luckily been minor and has always treated me well. Unfortunately being an old car it is starting to develop issues.

William R

An affordable and efficient car. An excellent and reliable starter car.

It has a surprising amount of space inside. Our exhaust has acquired some build up so it is a bit loud. Overall though I enjoy it. I do wish the sound system was a bit louder however that's a personal preference. The sunroof is a nice feature as well; something I am not usually accustomed to.

Laura A

Two doors are annoying; go for the foot door Camry.

Reliable and dependable car; have chipped some paint, changed radiator, transmission fluid, and regular oil changes. Big trunk. Don't like the head restaurant.

It is fun to drive, fun to ride in, gets great gas mileage, and it needs very little to keep it up.

I love everything about my convertible! It is the best car I have ever owned. Why else would I have it almost 18 years?!
