  Sleeper Solara - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By amp - July 30 - 8:36 pm

  The Solara has become a member of my family, the older ones only trading hands because the previous owner purchased a new one. It is definitely the favorite car of my family due to its reliability and performance. I now have a red 99 Solara that started out as my grandpas Pan-American highway vehicle. Now it is my college companion. She currently has 176K on the odometer and still lives up to the "Sleeper Solara" reputation. With 176K my Solara is not as sharp as it used to be, but that doesnt mean that the Germans are safe from her. Furthermore, Ive personally seen some of the goats from Detroit faint with fear.

  The best car for the money! - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By AnthonyDunn - July 25 - 11:10 pm

  I purchased this Solara in 2002 and it had 75,000 miles on it. It now has 200,000 miles and has been Uber Reliable. I put one timing belt on it and a starter that I got off eBay for 60 bucks. This car has never failed me and is as smooth today with 200k as it was with 75k. I plan to drive it another 200k and I think it will make it just fine.

  Fun Fun!!! - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By roberam - July 24 - 10:00 am

  This is my 3rd Camry and it is by far the most fun to drive, I just bought this car with 60K miles but it still looks like new. This car was not in my shopping list, but after a test drive, I new this was more fun than any other car I tested, including a Lexus.It has everything you need and want in a car including a nice stereo and the reliability of a Toyota.

  Everything about this car seems to be great. I brought it for my daughter and so far so good. The car is 11 years old and it drives better than my wife Nissan Max.

  By turbo25 - April 18 - 4:30 pm

  This car is amazing it holds up extremly well, has an amazing build quality and it has so much structual rigidity. I got into a 35mph rear end collision with my car and there is only a penny sized paint scratch on the bumper. this car is so awesome!!!

  shoulda-been-a-Lexus - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By roester - March 14 - 10:00 am

  Its a very smooth grand touring type car. I had a Mazda MX-6 with a 2.5 L v-6 , the increase in torque of this 3L just makes every day driving more effortless. One thing for sure, the cornering limits are very low. This car needs bigger anti-sway bars, but they arent available. I have the JBL sound system which sound great - as long as you dont brake hard or get into any broken pavement that shakes the car, then "skippy" the CD player jumps all over, it has been out of the car twice and "fixed". This is a $700 unit at the dealer and because it is CD/cassette combo, there are only a couple Butt-ugly aftermarket units to replace it.

  used cars are bad and what bout transmis - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By alison sudduth - February 22 - 1:16 am

  I have been highly disappointed in this vehicle; it has caused me a lot of grief. I will never buy a used vehicle again but then again I thought Toyota built a better transmission and never expected it to go out at 46,000 miles. I have had the engine light on for 8 years and part of the years I had total warranty coverage but it seems it didnt seem to matter. Had work done on it buy Toyota but they only screwed it up and Im paying for it now

  Best car I ever bought - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By travis aka superman - January 23 - 7:46 am

  My God I am so grateful for this car I had it for 4 yrs now. Bought it with 75,000 now have 185,000 from the Toyota dealership. Only problems Ive had is the starter, EGR valve, window motor, and a slight transmission leak but otherwise it have been a GREAT car. My goal is to get 400,000 miles out of this car.

  Nothing can touch it for the money - 1999 Toyota Camry Solara
  By Superlara - October 9 - 9:36 pm

  I purchased my Solara about five years ago when it had 74,000 miles on it. The timing belt/water pump had just been replaced. Since then I have put an additional 70,000 mile on it and have only changed the oil and filter, the front struts and strut bearings, and one set of tires. Brakes have over 70K on them and are still not totally worn out. This cars continues to amaze me with the build quality. I have owned 6 Hondas and 4 other Toyotas and this car is the best by far. Since it is coming up on ten years old, I want to replace it, but cannot justify that when the car runs as well as it does. Averages about 20mpg in the city and 25-27 on the highway.
