Solara Convertible
Owned since February 2021, purchased with 96.8k miles. Using as a weekend cruiser...? Enjoy the soft top down in sunny Arizona.

The Solara: a great car that has been discontinued.
My Toyota Solara is a fantastic car. This is the second one that I have bought. It is a two-door coupe which I love. It looks great and although it is a 2008 model, it stills draws admiring looks from others. The only sad thing is that 2008 was the last year this model was produced!

Low maintenance, smooth ride. Excellent customer service.
Cons- design. It is very difficult to see behind you whether backing up or changing lanes. This is due to shape of rear side windows and position of the rear window. The doors are extremely heavy causing some difficulty in opening them. They are also very large. This requires care in parking if you are interested in not giving door dings to the neighboring cars. Pros- nice ride. Low maintenance costs. Toyota was extremely good about addressing a concern when the car began using too much oil. They repaired the engine and provided a free car to use while they had my car.

They don't make it any longer
I love my car because it is a convertible, runs well and is beautiful! I have no complaints

Great reliability, comfort, and performance.
It is a two door car but has so much room in it that I can stand up in the back seat! Sleek semi sporty look but drives and feels like a comfy sedan. Have not had any problems with performance at all. . . Has 40000 miles on it and still drives and sounds like a new car! First Toyota I've had and I love it.

Fun to Drive and comfortable
It is sporty, good gas mileage but a nice big trunk for carrying items. Only problem, not great paint and doesn't look too hot now
accountCircle Carol B on November 21, 2020
Very reliable, nice looking coupe- not too many choices out there.
Haven't had any real problems-just normal. Maintenance for age of vehicle. Oil changes, brakes, tires and parts of exhaust- normal wear & tear for a 10 year old vehicle.

Stylish with comfort and reliability.
I love the car, it handles great, good on gas, comfortable and was just what I wanted in a car. It has been very reliable in summer and winter. It handles great in snow and ice. It has CD player, am, FM and fm2 radio channels, also change radio station on the steering wheel, and it has intermittent wipers.

It is a convertible that is fun to drive.
Like - it is a convertible with large back seat. It also has a very large trunk. It is fun to drive. Dislike - road noise.

I feel safe when I drive it.
Performance problems, makes some weird noises. Older molder, has some air conditioning issues. The passenger window is off track.

Camry is a reliable car, easy to maintain, and inexpensive. It has good gas mileage.

The sunroof is fantastic. I love the trunk space. Seats are comfortable. Windows give you lots of light and ability to see
Love it but it's very large for a 2 door car. The car has held up great and is solid. Will most probably by an Toyota again

My reliable car always starts and always looks good.
Great car. Love it. I bought it new and it has run great. The interior still looks new and the exterior paint has held up well. I highly recommend Toyota. My whole family drives them and they are very dependable cars and well designed. My next car will be a Toyota also. They are the best.

Love my Solara convertible!
I've had no problems with this car. It has great pick up with a V6. It has very comfortable leather seats with automatic adjustments. It has 105,000 miles and is very reliable. I love having a convertible; I've Had no problems with the mechanism. It gets good mileage.

The back window is hard to see out of it because it is small.
I love that is a convertible has nice seats, and is stylish. I dislike the rear window it makes it hard to back out.

It's a great performance vehicle that also looks great!
I absolutely love my car, this is my 2nd Toyota Solara convertible. I also own the 2002. These cars are the best. They handle well, look great and run so smooth. What's not to love when you drive with the top down!

The most important thing others should know about my car is that it's a convertible!
I like the fact that my vehicle is a convertible. I like the color of my vehicle. I am happy with the quality and durability of the car. It is starting to show its age and doesn't have any of the new technology in it. I would like a car with more tech, especially a back-up camera.

Great, reliable car - Toyota is a brand that you can really trust
I love my Toyota Solara. Even though it's over 10 years old, I've had no issues with it whatsoever. It drives smoothly, the engine is so quiet, and I have always felt safe in the vehicle. I love the 'luxury' features like heated seats and the fact that it's a convertible. I also love my radio, which can hold 6 CDs at a time or tune into AM or FM stations. The car also has bluetooth compatibility which is a feature I had never experienced prior to owning this car, but one that I enjoy very much! The only cons I can think of is that since it's a sportier car, there's really not a lot of room in the backseat so it isn't really conducive for carpooling. As well, while the trunk has decent amount of space to it, I am used to bigger trunks and wish this one had a little more room
accountCircle Amber S on April 29, 2020
Lots of room, the truck could be better. The tires it comes with could be better.
Everything is perfect, drop top, lots of space. Very good quality, great auto system. No real problems with this car at all.

For a great ride- try out a Toyota!
My Toyota Solara has been very reliable through the years. I have had very few repairs to make since owning this vehicle. I have had to replace the alternator once and battery and tires are routine after a few years. The car handles very nicely and is actually fun to drive and I really do not like driving! The gas mileage is better than fair, city miles are 27 mpg and highway driving is 32 mpg.
accountCircle Judi S on April 9, 2020
It is one of the last years Toyota made a convertible.
I love my convertible, except for the fact that the back window is very small, making it difficult to see behind you.
accountCircle Monica M on February 12, 2020
It has sports drive mode where it is similar to a stick shift but you can then change back to automatic.
I love the sporty and sleek look of it. Looks like a sports car but is also a great car for daily commute. I do not like the inside feels very tight but most sports cars are. Overall a nice car.

2008 Toyota solara review.
I have had no maintenance problems other than normal oil changes and replacement tires. The car feels tight and powerful has no problem accelerating to highway speed, and gets very good mileage. The ride feels much like that of a luxury car. The 8 speaker stereo system sounds fantastic. The only thing I would change is to get the convertible, instead.

Toyota Camry Solara Review
I love my car. It is very affordable with regards to gas and maintenance. Some troubles I have with the car involved in having a small rear view window, so it can be hard to have a clear view of everything while backing up, especially while parallel parking. It is my first car, so I would recommend it to a student, or someone who is on a tight budget. With regards to comfort, there is leather interior and the seats move into positions that fit the person's desires. The trunk is of considerable size, and there is enough space in the backseat as well. Overall, it is a great car.
accountCircle Tom S on November 19, 2019
Small car but does what I need it to do
I just don't like the fact that I don't get great gas mileage or that I have to use a small car when I want a bigger truck. It's annoying to have such a small car with not enough room to do what I need with it. I just want to upgrade to a full size truck as soon as I can afford to do so.

Best car I've ever had and will buy again
In 11 years I've only bought new tires once. The only major replacement was the water pump. This car can do anything. The convertible top mechanism has never failed. It's a comfortable and fun to drive especially with the top down. Even though it's only 4 cyl, it has get up and go.
accountCircle Lia W on October 5, 2019
It is reliable and looks expensive. In the summer months I like to open roof for a nice breeze.
It is a comfortable and very reliable car. For a coupe is very spacious. The downside is the doors are very wide and you have to be careful not to hit the car next to yours at a parking lot when you open the door.
accountCircle Pamela F on September 27, 2019
Convertibles can leak around the windows in very heavy rain.
It is a convertible, so that is fun. It handles nice. I think Toyotas are overpriced for how they are equipped. I have had less expensive cars that had way more equipment. Hate the navigation system.
accountCircle karen s on September 16, 2019
The best thing about this car is that it is eco friendly and is still a strong performing car.
I love my car. It is great because it has a camera in the back that allows me to see when i back up. The windows are great because it helps to reduce glare. It is spacious and i love the power features.

My sporty Toyota solara, with dual pipes.
My vehicle performance is great and reliable and runs really good, it also has a v6 engine and only 160,000 miles only, it does not have any engine or transmission problems and still has a great body and paint job,I can truly say that this is one of the best pre-owned vehicles that I have purchased.

The car is 11 years old the only highlight is that it is still running good
The name Toyota speaks for itself Toyota is a low maintenance car My family only buys Toyota This was my first but it won't be my last My nephew's Toyota had over 250 thousand miles before he purchased another and it was still going strong. My car is 11 years old and the only thing I've replaced is the battery, alternator and a belt

It takes regular unleaded fuel and it is has good fuel economy.
It is a very attractive and stylish car and you really don't see many of them on the roads. It is quick and good on fuel. It is a mid-size car but it does have enough room for 4 people with plenty of trunk space. I really don't have any dislikes or complaints about it.

2008 Toyota solara review.
Love this car. Have never had any issues with it besides just regular maintenance such as oil changes, new brakes, tires, etc. Had a solara previously and got into an accident where I was t-boned and I walked away without a scratch so I had to get another. Great safety. Very reliable, started right up in negative temperatures around here recently.
