Introduced as sportier siblings to the mainstay midsize Camry sedan, the Toyota Camry Solara coupe and convertible have quietly enjoyed a reputation for being reliable, well built and pleasantly styled, if not excitingly so. For most family sedans, such qualities are certainly considered desirable, but when it comes to coupes and convertibles, we think that a little fun and pizzazz should figure in as well. The Solara offeres much in terms of excitement, and due to Toyota's reputation for quality and resale value, the Solara is a popular choice for a midsize two-door. For both generations of the Solara, rear-seat room is generous and safety ratings and feature content are impressive. Smooth four-cylinder or V6 power resides under the hood, and overall the Toyota Solara is reasonably priced and offers great value considering all that it delivers. If you're looking for a sport-oriented coupe or convertible, the Toyota Solara is your best choice. And the current Solara convertible's traditional fabric top fits better than many competing models that offer retractable hardtop designs. If you treasure overall quality, value and comfort, there are few coupes or convertibles that put it all together as well as the Solara. The Toyota Solara is available as a midsize coupe or convertible in SE, SE Sport and SLE trim levels. The base SE is decently equipped with most modern convenience features, while the Sport version adds a firmer suspension, 17-inch wheels, an exterior body kit, xenon HID headlights and unique interior trim. The top-drawer SLE provides a few extra luxury-oriented standard features. Major options include stability control and a navigation system.
The standard engine on the Camry Solara coupe is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder rated at 157 horsepower and 158 pound-feet of torque mated to either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic. Optional on coupes and standard on convertibles is a 3.3-liter V6 rated at 210 horses and 220 lb-ft of torque. No manual transmission is available with this smooth engine, but the automatic is a modern five-speed with a manual-shift gate for those who like to select their own gears. On the road, the Toyota Camry Solara's suspension tuning delivers a comfortable ride. The added stiffness of the SE Sport model gives it enough capability to have some fun through corners while still maintaining the civilized ride quality of the other models. The Solara's front seats offer plenty of room for even the tallest drivers, but the rear seats are still best reserved for short trips. While Solara coupes can seat three passengers snugly in back, the Camry Solara convertible can accommodate just two. The Solara convertible's standard power top raises and lowers in just 10 seconds, and stows neatly under a tonneau cover that matches the color of the interior. This second-generation Camry Solara has been available since the 2004 model year, including a slight styling refresh. Changes since then have been minimal. The most significant occurred in 2006 when the optional automatic transmission on four-cylinders was upgraded to a five-speed unit. Centennial Toyota of Las Vegas Nevada offers prices as low as $1,000.00 Under Dealer Cost Invoice on New Solaras and has great deals starting at only $18,221 for qualififed buyers through Director Tiny Malone.
