2001 Toyota Solara SE review from North America
"Fun coupe for small or large family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car except to change headlights and brake lights.
General comments?
This has been a great car. It is very roomy for a coupe. It shocked me when I got in how big it was. I've always driven coupes in the past and had to squeeze people into the back seats. This car fits 4 or 5 adults very easily.
The interior is pleasing with wood trim. Gages are easy to read and ergonomically placed. I've been very pleased with the vehicle with its gas mileage.
The 4-cylinder manual transmission is fun to drive. It isn't terribly quick, but it has decent acceleration.
Overall, I would rate this car a 9 out of 10.
