1999 Toyota Solara SE review from North America
"Near perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely Nothing! One set of tires and front brake pads/rotors at 90,000 miles.
General comments?
The best car of the 20 or so I've owned. Very quiet and smooth with reasonable handling. Routinely gets 30-32 mpg on the highway. Even the standard sound system is very good. Single women ages 19-50 consider it a "fly ride", yes that's a quote and yes I've conducted a statistically significant sample. Huge trunk, though the opening is a bit small. 3 models fit comfortably in the back seat. Only improvements could be a better mount for the throttle and improved rear cup holders.
