Overview & Reviews
More power is in store from a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. On the outside, Toyota has added a redesigned front grille and bumper, new headlights and taillights and a bolder rear bumper. A new appearance package (only available on the SE Coupe) includes alloy center caps for the wheels, a three-spoke perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, black trim and Black Pearl emblems. Rounding out the changes are standard daytime running lights, optional seat heaters (coupes only) and a trunk-opener function for the keyless remote.
- Roomy cabin, convertible version, reliable Camry genes, delectable V6.

Comfortable - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By mimi919 - November 17 - 10:00 amI have owned my SLE Solara 3 weeks now and have about 1,500 miles on it. I find the Solara to be a very comfortable car with fantastically comfortable seats,roomy interior front and back....handling at all speeds is very good with a quiet ride. Unfortunately the Solara does lack luxury feature and for that matter even standard features of todays cars such as auto locking door locks,trip computer,rear heat outlets,delay headlights,power passenger seat,ect.

Research pays off - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By msupakeng - September 7 - 10:00 amI relied on user reviews and Edmunds for months to help me find a new car to buy that I would be pleased with for years to come. I reveiwed several cars before choosing the Solara. Its sporty yet large enough to be practical. It accelerates quickly & breaks smoothly. I love my high quality automobile. I would recommend not only researching the cars themselves but also the financing. The only thing I dislike about my car is the sleazy dealership it came from. They ripped me off. I wont even drive my car by there let alone get it serviced there. So be sure to know all the facts about leasing & buying before you go to the dealership.

Magnificent - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By KCN - May 30 - 2:00 amI bought one of the first ones in May 2000 and have been very happy. I wanted a family sized convertible and was about to buy the Chrysler Sebring, even though I wasnt wild about it. Then I heard an aannouncement of the Toyota Solara coming out in a year. I waited a whole year before the first production models were rolled out and have not been sorry about the wait.

Not too bad but could be better - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By chin 2 - January 9 - 2:16 pmOur 1st convertible & although the top down is nice I am very disappointed with the mpg which is 19 not the 22-23I was hoping for. The leather is hard and the kids need to sit on pillows because of that. It has a squeak thats annoying when driving at low speeds. and the paint quality isnt great for a white pearl color. It is peppy and the radio/cd is nice. We had it for 3 months now and only got a valet key with it and now the dealer has to replace the ecm to have new master keys programmed and made. The ecm is free, keys arent. Overall for 7300 price its an ok deal. I just wish I got better mpg, also it does have an occasional puff of smoke on start ups, aka valve seals worn, fun car though.

2002 Hot Momma Solara - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By AngelaM - December 19 - 10:00 amVERY fun to drive. Unless a super need for speed, I see no point in buying a V6. The 4-cylinder has LOTS of pick- up. I frequently drive 80 mph on interstate and there is not the shaking of every imaginable part of the vehicle that I was used to before I bought the Solara. Car brakes very well (have avoided several wrecks by quick stops). Although this car was a little beyond my means (Im a college student), Ill buy yet another red Solara when its time. LOVE IT.

great car - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By fliptop - November 21 - 10:00 amThough I own a 4-cyl, automatic, the car gave me in excess of 35-mpg at 75 mph on a trip to Ny from Fla. Very comfortable, with 550 miles between fillups. the car is giving me about 30 mpg in everyday use. Im 61", so I need the legroom of a midsize.

Yippeeee - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By Spirit - May 28 - 10:13 pmI purchased a used 2002 Solara, I had always wanted a Solara but had a car so didnt need another one. Once my car hit rock bottom I purchased the Solara. It drives brand new, it handles the road with care, smoothly, gracefully. The person I purchased the car from took great care of it...no scratches on the exterior and the interior didnt look worn at all. As I write this review, the check engine light has came on so Im going to my favorite mechanic to check it out, hopefully nothing expensive but the car is 7yrs old so I guess i can expect a little something. I will let you know if it was something major. Buy Toyota Solara!!!

Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By Ladylilu - May 14 - 8:06 pmI bought my car new and wouldve kept it until the wheels fell off, but a Dodge turned left in front of me and killed the car. But WOW, I cant believe how well my Solara did in the accident! She protected me well. I had the car for almost 6.5 years, 144,000 miles. Maintenance: Oil changes, battery and tires, brakes, tensioner, belts, catalytic converter (at ~135K), regular factory maintenance. Car was amazing. I miss it! I would trust the car to get me anywhere. 27mpg city (always), 30-32mpg highway (depending on if I was driving or my husband) :o). Buy one if you can!

this cars ok, but not excellent - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
By intelinside - February 22 - 8:46 amhave been driving a 2002 solara sle v6 for a month. its very quiet and has ample power. interior is very nice and jbl sound system is also excellent. it gives a smooth ride but handling and suspension isnt as firm as I want it to be. nice looking car (front and side looks) but i dont like the new taillights. (i have been looking for after-market taillights with no success. let me know if you know where I can get a pair.)
