  Love my Solara - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Leesy - April 10 - 5:46 pm

  I purchased the 2008 SLE V-6 just last week. I love it! After having a 4-Runner for 11 years, I knew buying another Toyota would be the right move. I never dreamed it would be such an awesome car to drive. The ride is very smooth and stable. The safety features make me feel as safe as when I drove my SUV. The pick-up it has is great, and the ride is just as comfortable on the highway as in the city. The trunk is huge. I love having a sporty car that is not "tiny". Good job again, Toyota

  Rattles in back windows - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
  By RS - February 25 - 11:03 am

  My retirement car after looking at many convertibles. Love the car with the top down, but hate it with the top up because of the rattles in the back side windows, especially the passenger side). On bumps or rough roads, the window sounds like it is going to fall out of track. It started when I drove it off of the dealership lot and I was assured it would be fixed, but after several attempts to fix it, including shims being put in the back side window and a tear in the headliner while trying to fix it, I have now been told by the dealership and Toyota Corp. that there is nothing that can be done, that it is problem with this model. A $32,000 car and nothing can be done!

  Lexus like - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Gene - February 20 - 11:30 pm

  The test drive in the rain with the top up impressed me. The quietness and the solid, confidence inspiring handling were very impressive. Love the gauge illumination at night too. The 6s performance seems fine to me and great gas mileage too! Car trip with only 200 miles on the odo got 30+ mostly highway mpg at 70. Top down on the highway is fine too- not too much wind and able to talk in a normal tone w/o windscreen. The nav system is not as intuitive as my Garmin Nuvi but does have its pluses. Voice activation commands with the top down is iffy. Luckily this can be done manually. Radio is nice, rear visibility is ok with mirrors and seat adjusted properly. Tilt & tele wheel is great.

  08 Solara SE 4 Hardtop - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Rob from Martinsburg - December 19 - 4:30 am

  I bought this car for a great price towards the end of February. Its not the top of the line model but it has the moonroof, 6 disc, and the alarm system. Yes, there is some tranny lag and no, I havent yet taken it in for the re-flash as I dont think that it will affect it much anyway. Ive found that the slow shifts do not occur when the shifter is in manual shift mode & Im having a blast shifting in manual through town and when merging. Gas MPG has improved @30 MPG combined with 4200 miles which is very acceptable being that my 05 XB gets 33 mpg. The Solara rides very smooth, the front strut tie bar keeps the front end flat and the trunk is huge. Headlights are great & cd display dim.

  Awesome purchase for the money. Lots of features for cheap. Alloys, fog lights, power everything, ABS, moonroof, steering wheel audio controls. Avg. 31 mpg in mixed driving so far. Im 63" and have plenty of room. Can fit in backseat no problem. Very sufficeint power with the 4 cyl.

  Cant miss convertible - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Jazbuf - February 4 - 9:26 am

  We test drove 2 other converts. and the Solara was by far the most comfortable and by far the most quiet, absolutely no wind noise. A wonderful car to drive with top up or down. My only disappointment was no back-up assist available,no power seats available on passenger side or 8cyl. up-grade. I would buy the same car again after driving it for one year.

  We shopped around for a coupe, and found that the Solara was the best car at the best price.

  Fun Car - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
  By George - March 24 - 12:20 pm

  It has been an awesome car. From the day we picked it up, the only time it went back to the dealership was for routine maintenance. Everything about the Solara is great. Comfort, ease on the road, handling, braking - its all good. When you close the door, it sounds solid. Toyota built one outstanding car.

  Love It!! - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
  By jeni729 - December 5 - 11:10 am

  I just got this car last week on a 4 yr lease and I love it. I love the inside. I love the stylish look you get from the outside but yet it is so roomy and practical. It is nice and heavy for winter driving! I am glad I made the purchase!

  All this and a bag of chips - 2008 Toyota Camry Solara
  By keith - November 25 - 1:06 am

  This is my first non BMW car in 10 years. This is also my first Toyota ever. I am very surprised about the quality. Ride is a little noisy but its a convertible. Other that that I love this car, smooth ride and with the top down it is the most fun car I have ever owned. Fits a family of four comfortably & I am lost without the nav. Besides normal maintenance have not had a problem since the day I rolled it off the lot, and I drive 150 miles a day.
