  Test Drive Notes: Toyota Camry Solara 2000
The Camry Solara convertible is a lot like any other Camry -- with the exception of the unlimited headroom.
The Camry's saving grace, however, is that it would also be hard to find a more reliable car, or one that goes about its business with less fuss and aggravation.
Toyota ought to supply clown shoes with this car, because that's the only way you'll be able to keep your toe from slipping off the high-mounted gas pedal.

 Toyota Camry Solara information, specifications, history, and images.
Solara was aimed at consumers entering their peak earning years, who are nostalgic for the sports cars of their youth, but need more room and comfort than a sports car can provide.
Camry Solara became the first Toyota Division vehicle to take full advantage of Toyota's North American engineering, styling and manufacturing facilities.
Solara became available in three distinctive model grades: SE, highlighted by sporty metallic-finish interior trim, SE Sport with an aggressive body kit and a unique interior, and the SLE with greater content and a woodgrain-style interior trim.

 2004 Toyota Camry Solara - The Car Connection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Most of the odd elements of the 2004 Solara's styling is in the rump, where the trunk's drastic drop-off shape doesn't seem to emerge naturally from the car's other lines and the chrome-looking Toyota logo mounted on it is so big we assume it's picking up faint radio signals from Alpha Centauri.
And Toyota is smart enough to know that this isn't a car that needs to please the same broad cross-section of buyers that, say, the Camry sedan must.
Toyota is offering the Solara in three separate trim levels: base SE, the sporty and cleverly named SE Sport, and the loaded-like-a-Lexus SLE.

 Carpages.ca - 2007 Toyota Camry Solara Preview
As such, Toyota's latest refreshing of the Solara for the 2007 model year moves the car further into the realm of cruiserdom on the inside, while trying to impart a sportier taste on the outside.
The 2007 Solara's profile is pretty much the same as the previous model's, albeit lower.
Having remained unchanged since 2004, this Solara may only be three years old by the time this updated model hits showrooms, but both its coupe and convertible variants are rapidly being outpaced their competitors.

 Toyota Camry Solara   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
With the debut of the second-generation Solara in 2004, Toyota attempted to bring some of those more desirable elements to its midsize coupe and convertible.
The result is a second-generation Solara that manages to add a significant measure of fun without sacrificing the traditional elements that made it so appealing the first time around.
It may not be the fastest, nor is it the most distinctive-looking, but when it comes to overall quality, performance and value, there are few that put it all together as well as the Camry Solara.

 Toyota Camry Solara SLE Convertible - Short Take Road Tests - Car and Driver - September 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Although the Solara family—a line of coupes and convertibles for slightly more adventurous Camry buyers—was born at the 1997 Chicago show with a ragtop concept, the Solara Speedster, Toyota has never established much of a track record for roofless rigidity in its four-seat sun chasers.
The last time we tested a Solara convertible ["Sunshine Missionaries," C/D, May 2001], we reported there was "not a sporting bone in its body." Its makeover has done nothing to mitigate that conviction.
The new Solara is heavier than its predecessor—3639 pounds versus 3500—but it delivers respectable hustle: 7.3 seconds to 60 versus 8.5 for the original.

 2004 Toyota Camry Solara - The Car Connection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Solara shares the stiffer chassis of the new Camry and has a so-called performance-tuned suspension, which is basically the same as the Camry SE, but with stiffer components, such as bushings, springs, and dampers.
During my trip with the Solara it was easy to like the well-equipped interior of the SLE with its wood grain-style trim, good position behind the steering wheel, the excellent seat and the nicely laid-out dashboard.
What Toyota has in the Solara is a near-Lexus for half the price: the Solara V-6 SLE sells for $25,995, while the 2.4 SE four-cylinder with 157 hp and a manual transmission retails for $19,120.

 2005 Toyota Camry/Camry Solara - Intellichoice Review - Automobile Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Standard Camry sedans make do with 15-inch wheels and tires; 16-inchers are variously optional and standard on the middle trim levels; and 17s are standard on convertibles, some coupes, and the SE sedan.
All Camrys benefit from generally good materials and fits inside, although the interior styling is unexceptional and the plastics aren't as rich looking as those found in the Honda Accord or Subaru Legacy.
Toyota has exerted a great deal of effort to improve the dowdy appearance of its less premium Camrys, to the extent that the even the base model gained chrome door handles and gear-shifter base in 2005.

 1999 Toyota Camry Solara SE - Road Test - Motor Trend   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Toyota admits its ideal Solara buyers are "entering their peak earning years." To us, this implies the car is a bit of a novelty, perhaps a second or even third car.
To infuse the Solara with a tighter, more solid and responsive feel, the engineers introduced cross-braced front strut towers, reinforced the transom between the trunk and rear seats, and increased strut and spring rates at all four corners.
With the Solara coupe, Toyota has effectively introduced a comfortable, reliable, and decently performing car to a slightly different crowd--those who want a little more style and fun in their daily drives and weekend getaways.

 OBD Scan Tool, Toyota Camry Solara Review
My GMC van was starting to show its age after 25 years of dependable service, the Millennium had arrived along with my 50th birthday, and I decided it was time to buy a new vehicle to use for demonstrating our OBD scan tool products (see section at the end of this article).
The Camry Solara proved to be the favored choice, so I plunked down a lot of money and drove it off the showroom floor (that was a good day).
I suspect that Toyota will have to overstock starter gear components as it would be very easy to accidentally try and start this vehicle when the engine is already running (Note: It turns out that the electronics will not allow the starter to engage if the engine is running).

 2004 Toyota Camry Solara - The Car Connection
But Camry is as Camry does - and while the new Solara won't necessarily be able to attract street racers, NASCAR dads and thug rappers, it may be able to attract a broader following than before.
It was developed in Toyota's Technical Center in Michigan, designed in the Calty Design Studio in California, and built in the Toyota factory in Georgetown, Ky.
But you may not be able to detect the presence of a sport suspension on most Solaras - to make it widely known, you have to choose the Solara SE, which also is equipped with a sporty-looking body kit.

We bought the 2001 Solara as a replacement for a stolen truck, so didn't have too much time to shop around for the features we wanted, and still take advantage of end of the year clearance sales.
I had been driving a 1992 Toyota Corolla since my senior year in high school, and had been looking to "upgrade," not because the car was dying...
It drives smoothly and is comfortable, however, I would suggest to those who like a little power to move up to the SLE model which is a V6.
