Overview & Reviews

This all-new coupe is based on the Camry platform. Designed jointly by the Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan and the Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Solara is targeted at consumers who want the style of a sports car but the room and comfort of a larger, more practical vehicle.

• The Accord Coupe is slightly quicker and has a one-year head start in market share.

  My Toyota Solara was the best car Ive ever owned. - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Ray Quinn - October 8 - 11:22 am

  I bought my Solara new in December of 1998 even though it is a 1999 and it has been the best car Ive ever owned. The gas mileage is unbelievable as is the cost to own. Change the oil regularly and your good to go. Fast forward to 2016 and I still own my 1999 Solara thats how good of a car its been.

  Best car Ive ever owned - 8yrs+ - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Chris in Charlotte - October 3 - 4:46 pm

  Im on the verge of potentially trading in my dark green/tan leather 99 SLE w/ 157k. I do not want to get rid of it, but a 3 yr old and a newborn make a coupe impractical. Said simply, aside from some suspension issues, a valve cover gasket, and the backlight on the JVC stero going out, the car has been flawless and still looks fantastic. I get comments everywhere. Two recent ones were from the husband/owner of my sons daycare, who wanted to take a spin, because he always wanted a Solara and never got one ("Its a Lexus with a Toyota badge" - his conclusion), and several less car savvy people who just cant believe its 11 years old.

  Best Toyota I Ever Owned - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Phantom - September 20 - 10:00 am

  From the minute I test drove one I wanted it. It handles great, and dont let anyone tell you a four cylinder engine doesnt perform. 135 horses is more than adequate for this car even with the air on, plus you get the benefit of great gas mileage. Ill put 100,000 miles on no problem. This is my 5th Toyota, and there will definitely be a 6th.

  Great Car! - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Hermosillo - May 28 - 8:06 am

  Great car, have had it for almost 7 years now, 120,000+ miles on it, not a single repair, no squeaks or rattles, still running as smooth as its first year. I have put many miles in Mexico on so so roads with no problems. Friends cant believe it rides so smooth and how good it feels and looks after 7 years and more than 100k miles. Have had all the services done at the dealer. Great for long trips, very comfortable, good mileage. Ive driven the car from No Cal to Central Mexico, on rain, snow, desert, still running strong!

  great car - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By chatty - January 7 - 2:00 am

  I love this car! I have had 6 hondas and this is my first toyota. I like this car much better than any of the hondas I have owned. The ride quality is excellent...feels like you are floating on air. The interior design is beautiful...I love the the silky smooth leather seats. I get nothing but compiments on the car....especially after peolpe ride in it! I have the traction control which is working great in the current snow and ice conditions. I love the auto dimming rear view mirror and fully ajustable head rests (move forward and back). I never want to stop driving this car...very smooth.

  Great Car - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By N8 - October 17 - 1:33 am

  I have had my SLE for almost 5 years now and I am about to roll over 200,000 miles. I have had a few minor issues with the car but overall it has been an excellent car. The CV joint boot split and ran dry and I had to replace the axle twice. The first time it was still under warranty, and the second time was around 160,000 miles. Smooth ride, good gas mileage for a V6 (27-29 mpg on highway depending on how heavy my foot is!!) and plenty of get up and go. Runs like new!! I would recommend this car to anyone who drives a lot and plans to keep the car for a long time.

  We Love Our Solara XLE - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Jack & Kathy - June 26 - 10:00 am

  We have had the normal oil changes, have replaced the tires and brakes, maintenance is very low on this vehicle and the performance is that of the 944 Porche without all the problems. The car has 58,000 trouble free miles.

  I Love It!! - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Dot Matrix - April 16 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Solara new over 5 years ago. I now have 68,000 miles on it and have only replaced the battery and tires. Every rider comments on how quiet and smooth the car rides, and cannot believe it is not a Lexus. Every piece of the car operates smoothly from the engine to the door handles to the moonroof to the seats. Quality permeates the minor and major details.

  Green 99 SLE - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By 99SLE - January 21 - 10:00 am

  I spent the first two years explaining I wasnt driving a Lexus (SC) to friends who insisted it reminded them of one. This car excels at highway driving. I seem to take a lot of 3-5 hour interstate trips, and this is the best car Ive ever driven for them. Only regret: I drive it too much.
