2003 Toyota Camry Solara - Love this car

I love this car. It still maintain good for years. So sad it was discontinued in 2008.

Story

I used my Solara to work and hang out with my friends. Sometimes my dad drives it (my family own one policies). His coworker say it is contemporary.

Cons

Only two doors, not suitable to family with children.

2003 Toyota Camry Solara - Great looks but has engine sensor problems

I bought the 2003 Solara used with only 40000 miles. The trim on the interior was very high end looking with the wood style inlays on the dashboard.

The interior held up very well overall. The carpet did no... (more)

Cons

There is a blind spot that I never really liked in the rear view mirror so you have to be careful and weary about it. The engine could have used a little bit more horsepower. The brakes could be more powerful. The engine has some headaches with the air fuel ratio sensors. These are more expensive to replace then standard oxygen sensors. I spent nearly five hundred dollars on two air to fuel ratio sensors. The repairs can be costly overall. The head unit in dash for the stereo could have been much better. When I upgraded the head unit it really brought the cars speakers to life. I would hig... (more)
