What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1999 Toyota Camry Solara are highly satisfied with their vehicle. They particularly like its fuel efficiency, comfort, and reliability. Many appreciate the spacious and quality interior, while some feel it could use more power. The car's solid performance and smooth driving experience are frequently praised, although a few mention a desire for better handling and more acceleration."
Awesome car. Sports car feel. Fast acceleration for a 4 cyl. Roomy and comfortable interior. Car screams quality. My fuel economy is better than stated on mpg sites. Hasn't needed any major repairs at 70k. I get compliments galore. I have owned this car for almost ten years and don't think I'll ever sell it. Cheap to own. It's a keeper. I love my car!
May 4, 2009The Solara has been a great addition to our family. It hardly ever needs maintenance and performs well in any condition. It's fun and comfortable to drive on the highway and has a surprisingly large amount of cargo space. It's a blast to drive!
April 28, 2015Performance - strong acceleration, smooth engine pulls especially strong at high rpms. 4 wheel disc brakes provide excellent stopping power. handling is ok, suspension provides a good compromise between comfort and handling. I wish there was a little less body lean though. huge turning radius. Build Quality - no squeaks or rattles. car is well insulated and is extremely quiet when windows are up and sunroof is closed. all electronics work perfectly. spare tire improperly secured in trunk. one of the rear cup holders broke. small hole in passenger seat. clutch throw out bearing died 97,670. no doubt the previous driver rode the clutch. Appearance - distinctive, but conservative (read: bland) exterior. beautiful tan interior. supple leather. tasteful faux wood trim. Cost of Ownership - decent gas mileage, mid 20s. 18.5 gallon tank makes me cry every time i fill up, but gets 400+ miles per tank. Fun Factor - Not the sportiest car in the world. Car feels heavy through turns. 5 speed manual is smooth but isn't as precise as mazdas. Extremely comfortable car to cruise around in, windows down, sunroof open, 200watt jbl speaker system blasting. Also very quiet at highway speeds. Can drive at 100+ with little wind or road noise. Overall - It's a very refined car, more suited for the older driver. Younger buyers would be better off with a compact, which are definitely more fun to drive, especially on backroads.

August 12, 2008The best car I have ever owned. It seems like a luxury car, VERY quiet and smooth driving. It does everything very well, and gets great gas mileage, in a mid size car. I love it and plan to keep it for a LONG LONG time. The 2.2L engine could use a little more power, but I have learned to adapt. (My previous car was a V-8 Mustang GT.)
September 23, 2009Sandfrift metallic with tan leather interior and auto climate control.
March 17, 2008This car... It's built like a tank. Dependable (NEVER broke down or stalled on me ONCE), a big plus considering my last car was bought brand new and brought/towed to the dealership MANY times, and my first car was just a random clunker just so I didn't have to take the bus.
April 15, 2008nice, compact, fuel efficient, but dark and so may be a bit warm inside and need to use air a lot.
September 2, 2022I like everything about my car, but I wish it had more horsepower
