2002 Toyota Solara SE review from North America
"Good ride if steering would be more precise and centered"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires go bad every 25-35 thousand miles and pulls excessively to the left.
Struts have been replaced under warranty for knocking. Replaced struts with monroe struts seems to ride better, but still spongy steering.
General comments?
For the most part engine and transmission are the best, but if tires have to be changed every 25-30 thousand miles, time for a new one.
