2007 Toyota Camry Solara - I feel like this car is perfect for me. It fits me and my personality.
I love that this car fits a petite person very well. I feel the size is just right, neither too big nor too small. The car is now eight years old and has no major work done. The only thing I had to replace is the battery in all that time. Maintenance on the car is very simple, oil changes twice a year and refill wiper fluid and anti-freeze. It gets decent mileage on the expressway, approximately 24 MPG. The car has held up very well in those eight years, the interior has no signs of wear and the paint job looks new. People consistently think it looks like a much more expensive car. The car does have some rattling from the sun roof when you go between 40 - 50 MPH. Slower and faster are ok. Also, due to the slope of the rear portion of the car it is difficult to see behind you when parki... (more)

Also, due to the slope of the rear portion of the car it is difficult to see behind you when parking. Even though it is a coupe the back seat has good leg room and has plenty of space when I take my dog to the dog beach. Being a Toyota, the resale value has help up very well for when I decide to get a new car.
The first time I took the car out for a drive, I couldn't wait to open the sun roof. This was my first time having a sun roof in a car. I drove up and down Lake Shore Drive with the windows open, the sun roof open and the CD player blaring. I felt very free and independent. It felt like I had become a true, self-reliant adult.

The car has great longevity and quality, I don't have to worry about breaking down somewhere. The style is great and looks more luxurious than the price. Dual airbags keep both the driver and passenger safe. It comes with an MP3 outlet and plenty of place to plug in electronics for charging. The steering wheel has buttons to control the radio so you don't have to take your hands off the wheel.

The ride can be a little rough because the car is so close to the ground. Also the lowness of the car is bad in Chicago during the winter months because I get stuck more easily. You have to be careful when backing up due to low visibility.

2000 Toyota Camry Solara - Dependable vehicle, always starts, great a/c, very dependable
I love that it's never had any mechanical issues. It was a vehicle built to last and is extremely dependable. The heat and a/c run like the first day off the line. It has a powerful engine and has a lot of get up and go. It seems like it is a vehicle that could last forever. It is has a metal frame and if it crashed into a lake it would sink very quickly. Some stuff is evident of what Toyota is lacking with its older model vehicles, like the paint job has shown a lot of wear and the rear shocks are needing to be replaced. It has a sun roof that's kinda hard to hang your body out of because it sits right where the middle consul is. The automatic seats are really awesome make it easy to adjust right on the side in case a hefty fella was to large to bend forward to adjust the seat positio... (more)

The automatic seats are really awesome make it easy to adjust right on the side in case a hefty fella was to large to bend forward to adjust the seat position. The seats are leather so that sucks when it gets 108 in the summer but great when you have to call in work for third degree burns on your ass cheeks. Overall great call just make sure you put a towel down on your leather seats or risk burnt buns.
One time when I spent over 2 hours in stand still traffic. I fell asleep and my car died due to low gas and the only reason while I woke up was a nice Asian had knocked on my window because she believed I died. Sometimes I wished I had.

Powerful, dependable, a/c and heat continue to stand the test of time, roomy, and a lot of tech features.

Leather seats and steering wheel that feel like the lava pit in hell on hot days. Cheap paint applied by Toyota. Toyota is terrible at wheel and suspension design.

1999 Toyota Camry Solara - Toyota Solara.
This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. I highly recommend it to others all of the time. I can not speak much about the vehicle when it is new as mine already 254,000 miles on it when I purchased it. It currently has over 300,000 miles. My check engine light is not on, nor are any other indication lights. Everything runs smooth and properly as it should. It still gets the original mpg that it gets new which is 29 miles per gallon, which I have to say is amazing for a vehicle with this kind of mileage. The interior has basic wear and tear, but overall is still in good condition. I personally very much enjoy the ease of the operations of the sunroof and other functions. It's ride is fairly smooth and it handles curves ,turns, and hills very well. It functions great on gravel r... (more)

The interior has basic wear and tear, but overall is still in good condition. I personally very much enjoy the ease of the operations of the sunroof and other functions. It's ride is fairly smooth and it handles curves ,turns, and hills very well. It functions great on gravel roads and even better on pavement. The interior dimensions are big enough that you can actually pack an entire on bedroom apartment, minus the bed and large appliances, into the vehicle and it will still run smoothly and maintain its average gas mileage. Up keep on this vehicle is fairly low. I have not had to replace any major parts. The Vehicle can easily be used for touring , it is comfortable and reliable. I have personally made several one thousand mile trips in the vehicle and did not have to stop due to discomfort. The exterior is extremely well built and durable. Even after three hundred thousand miles it still has all of it's original components. Tire size for this vehicle is fairly easy to find and is not very expensive. I work on my vehicle myself and the ease of access to all mechanical components is fairly easy and there is a fair amount of room to work. I feel as if this would be great family vehicle or a first vehicle for a teenager. For the type of vehicle , the torque is very generous. Even with high mileage , I do not find much if any rust on my vehicle.
I have a ton of memories with this vehicle so it would be hard to pick just one. One of my favorite memories is actually a collection of several memories that are similar to road trips I have driven by myself from horn lake MS to Chicago IL and back several times and I have driven from Horn Lake MS to Virginia Beach/ Norfolk VA several times all have been great experiences and fun.

I have a ton of memories with this vehicle so it would be hard to pick just one. One of my favorite memories is actually a collection of several memories that are similar to road trips I have driven by myself from horn lake MS to Chicago IL and back several times and I have driven from Horn Lake MS to Virginia Beach/ Norfolk VA several times all have been great experiences and fun. My top favorite memory would have to be the collection of days and nights spent cruising around in my vehicle through MS , with my now husband, as we were dating. My husband actually says that if I ever get a new car I have to take the front passenger side of this one off and attach it to the new car.
Gas mileage is exceptional and holds well after time and mileage, fairly comfortable seating, stereo speakers are of high quality, trunk is decently large, the vehicle handles, curves, turns, dips, and bumps very well, doesn't require much up keep.
