  • Bad Blind Spot & Sound, No trunk release - 2003 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    Dont take me bad, I really like the car for both performance and exterior design. However, blind spot is really big problem, you should buy extra blind spot mirror. Dont trust advertised JBL sound system, I give a 6 on 10 scale. No trunk release inside the car, very inconvenient. Also, you cant read the sound system face plate when there is sunny because of the weird angle.

  • LOVE AT FIRST FLIGHT - 2003 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    I previously owned a 2001 Nissan Xterra and decided to trade it for the 2002 Solara after one incredible 30 minute test drive! This car is simply incredible... great acceleration, comfort, good gas mileage, classy styling, ample room (especially for a 2- door), and the handling is great. It hugs the road like a grizzly bear. One of the reviews I read here said it didnt handle well... oh contrare. I did a 15mph curve today doing 45mph...staying in my lane, no fishtailing, no tire squeal. This car makes you feel like youre in the cockpit of a luxury F16 fighter jet... the only thing its lacking is wings. SIMPLY MARVELOUS

  • I LOVE my Solara - 2003 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    I bought my Solara brand new in 2003. It was the first brand new car Id purchased in about 25 years. I would not change a thing about this car. I absolutely love the way it handles, the way it looks and the fact that I havent had to do anything to it except regular maintenance. I intend to drive this thing until it falls apart. I am so happy I bought the 2003 model because I have been completely unimpressed with the newer body styles.

    It is now 2015 and I have had my 2003 for years. It has 230,000 miles and still performing to standards. This car has grown on me to the point I dont want to sell it or give it away. Very dependable no major issues. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants a little style and reliability.

  • All Around Fun - 2003 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    This car is sporty and looks outstanding. Has ample back seats for passengers, which is a plus. Appears that the Solara convertibles are hard to find but am glad I persisted. Almost bought a sedan but a test drive in this car convinced me to find one. Considered waiting for 04, but the convert wont be out til late Spring 04. Fun to ride. Drives smooth and quiet but still lots of power. Planning on having this gorgeous car for quite a while. Highly recommend.

  • NO DISAPPOINTMENTS HERE - 2003 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    PROVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR RELIABILITY. THIS CAR IS IDEAL CAR FOR THE GET IN AND DRIVE TYPE PERSON. NO SO FLASHY AS WHEN YOU LEAVE IT AND COME BACK YOU WILL FIND FINGER PRINTS ALL OVER THE CAR OR THAT SOMEONE HAS STOLEN SOMETHING OFF IT CAUSE ITS NEAT, BUT A CAR THAT IF CLEAN EVERYONE NODS A NOD OF APPROVAL. ABSOLUTELY NO DISAPPOINTMENTS IN OWNERSHIP

  • Love this car - 2003 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    This car is awesome. It rides nice and turns great. People look at it and smile. It has great pick up on the highways for a 4 cyl. The only thing I dont like is the seat belts, but in a convertible, they have no choice. I can live with it. And it is roomy, the back seat is big enough for 2 people to sit in comfortably. Why did they stop making a convertible?

  • 2003 sle-v6 - 2003 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    This is the 2nd solara slev6 ive owned (2001+2003).The only reason I traded the 01 was to get the heated front seats. For the money its an exceptional value.Across the US from coast to coast with never a problem and an average of 28 highway/23 city mpg. No maintainance issues.Do regular service and it runs like a Swiss watch.Quality is on a par with my friends Lexus ES300,handling is actually not that much below another friends BMW,at half the price. I will probably buy another
