2000 Toyota Solara SLE review from North America
"Another dependable Toyota"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt was apparently changed just before I took ownership at 89,000 miles. Since then, I have only had to replace the front rotors/pads and one of the O2 sensors on the exhaust.
General comments?
Very reliable car! Not very performance oriented, but it gets the job done EVERYDAY!
Suspension is a little soft and exhibits moderate body roll, acceleration is slower than I expected (granted I never rev it past 4000 rpm)...
Overall, the past 60,000 miles of ownership have been a pleasure.
Buy one and don't worry about a thing.
Thanks Toyota!
