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.

  Not as good as my wifes Accord - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By kmeister1 - January 17 - 10:00 am

  I had driven a Honda Accord but thought they were a bit pricey when I went shopping for a new car. I bought the 2002 Solara during the big sales in June, 2002, when the dealer wanted to make room for the incoming 2003s. I was looking for a reliable, roomy, safe, 5-speed, 4 cylinder vehicle with decent fuel economy. I got all of those but the car handles poorly in wet weather (left turns are especially sloppy) and the thing is too noisy on the highway. Next time Im in the market for a new car Im going back to Honda.

  It Rocks !!! - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By shank - September 13 - 2:50 pm

  Been almost 3 years not... but I can just say, that this car has lived up to my expectations. No major issues at all. Just a few trips to the shop for the top. Interiors are great, excellent space in the rear.

  My history of owning Toyotas - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By PMD - September 3 - 10:00 am

  Just comments to share of my experience of owning Toyotas, they are one of the most reliable cars made. The only thing that I changed on my Toyota is the struts. I had Monroe struts installed and it improved the handling greatly and also the Monroe struts are cheaper in price compared to Toyota struts. I also put better tires on my Toyota, Michelin X ones.

  Love this car - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Byron49er - July 22 - 2:00 am

  This car is the most resonably price luxery, sports coupe on the market. Similar to the Accord but rare.

  Great Fun . . . Great Car - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By lmb - July 18 - 11:33 am

  Actually I have a 2001 SLE Convertible, but aside from a few cosmetic alterations the car is identical to the 2002 model. Great car, and a lot of fun to drive. O.K., its not a true "sports" car, more like a cruiser, but it is so much nicer and more reliable than the Sebring. I looked at the BMW, Saab, and Volo convertibles, but opted for the Toyota. Saved 10k+ and have more room for people sitting in the back seat. Plus less time in the shop means fewer headaches.

  Nice car but poor steering - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By gordons - July 18 - 2:00 am

  This is an excellent car (bought the 2002 SE V6 new)but the steering is fuzzy (doesnt track well). It takes a lot away from the driving experience for a sporty looking car with a V6.

  My experience - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Steve I. - April 20 - 11:56 am

  I leased a 2000 Solara and the transmission died in 2 years. It the took the dealer almost a month to locate a replacement transmission. I would not deal with this car again. I cant wait until my lease is up to dump this car.

  Thinks its a Lexus - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By freindinthebiz - April 20 - 4:43 am

  I sell nearly every other Brand of automobile except Toyota. My wife has had a wealth of nice cars before and since our marriage. The 1999 Solara I am reviewing is the nicest we have ever owned. Smooth, quiet, roomy, comfortable and great value for the money spent.

  soooo satisfied - 2002 Toyota Camry Solara
  By sooo satisfied - December 9 - 10:00 am

  After driving a 1998 BMW Z3, the Solara is a breath of fresh air. The Z3 was fun to drive, extremely dificult to live with, especially as my only source of transport. I love the Solara and have no regrets about trading in the Z3. The first thing I noticed about the Solara was that the steering is a little soft, but aside from that Im sooo satisfied
