  • Best of the reasonable priced cars - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    Got an electric blue with all goodies. Have had convertibles for 40 plus years. This is the best all around car I have had. Why are they stopping making it??

  • Auto Trans lags badly - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    The auto trans is very very slow to downshift, in fact, there is at least a 2-3 second lag when you push the accelerator, to the power getting to the wheels. The motors revs then trans engages. Dealer loaded the new ECM software, but it made little if any difference. Dealer said he did all he could and the trans is considered fixed and normal by Toyota. Sure shocks me if Toyota engineers consider this normal. If you get one, be careful when pulling into traffic or when quick acceleration is necessary. The trans will scare you. I wont keep this Toyota for 150K miles as I did with the car I sold to get this 08. Very disappointing.

  • Get it before its gone!!! - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara

    Purchased the dark grey on black w/ black top three weeks ago. First convertible ever. Great so far. Dozens of compliments already. The sport trim rocks! Getting 28 and some change on the mpg, mostly hwy. Rides very smooth, a great cruiser, turns lots of heads.

  • Love my Solara - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    Ive only had this car for a little over a month but its awesome. Its so quiet and rides smoother than anything Ive ever owned, and Ive owned some pretty nice cars. It has plenty of room for my husband and I and If we want to take a couple of grandkids along we can. I have not found anything against this car at this time.

  • Comfortable Convertible - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    This is a very comfortable convertible and can actually hold two people in the back seat! The car has enough power for most situations. The trunk is great (roomy) for a convertible. Needs automatic seat adjustment, larger rear window, and a better navigation system. The navigation system will tell you to turn once you are past the turn!

  • Love my Solara - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    Had a 2004 Solara and traded it in on a 2007 Camry SE 4 door in January of 2007. That was OK, but it was no Solara. In September, bought a 2008 Solara, Blue Streak Metallic and I absolutely adore this car. It is comfortable and gets great gas mileage. Wont be trading this in anytime soon.

  • Loving my Solara SLE Convertible - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    I have owned 2 Toyota Camrys, and my husband talked me into buying a 2008 Solara convertible. This car has such a silky ride. I love the dependability of a Toyota, but the beauty and smoothness of my car cranks it up to a new level of satisfaction with the Toyota product. I will never be without a Toyota product!

    I really have fun driving my Solara. It drives smoothly and is very comfortable. All of the added equipment is user friendly. For a soft top it is quiet on the highway.

  • Fun car, smooth ride, roomy - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    Overall this car is a winner. Its fun to drive and very smooth (like a Lexus). I bought this car because of its room and style. Fits four adults comfortably and also can fit three teens in the back (need to cross-over the seat belts). I wish it had a little more pick up but hasnt been a problem. Wish the driver seat had a memory for at least one driver. Bluetooth for phone doesnt allow name of person calling to be programmed. Doesnt have the RDS (radio display signal).

  • End of the Line - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
    By -

    Convertible is one that actually can comfortably hold 4 - with my two active sons in the back seat. It has very nice ride, especially on the highway. Navigation system could be improved to allow adjustments while moving. Voice recognition better than others used. Overall an enjoyable car to take out on ride, especially on a nice sunny day, with enough room for the family and all the junk in the trunk.
