1999 Toyota Solara SE review from North America
"Highly recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Several failed oxygen sensors. Replaced under warranty.
Several CD players replaced for scratching CDs. Replaced under warranty.
General comments?
An outstanding step-up from the Corolla GT-S I drove previously.
4-cylinder manual more than peppy enough to satisfy my "assertive" driving style.
Drives as well or better above 100K miles than it did below.
Extremely quiet interior.
I would not hesitate to recommend this car.
