Ranking	Details
#1	Nothing left to chance! Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Great four seater convertible for under $33K. Incredible Stereo, nice accel, very quiet with top up for a convertible, less vibration than the Sebring I had been test driving. Toyota quality inside and out. Leather is very nice quality. Seats really comfortable. Trans. smooth. Cons: Nothing yet. Overall: I waited a year to finally purchase this car. Several times nearly bought a Sebring as it was cheaper. Bottom line - I'm really glad I waited. This is a car I am very proud of...
#2	Part of my wonderful California experience. Source: Cars.com ..."I have never worried about dependability. Even in it's 8th year with me, I feel my car looks classic and beachy. I love the leather seats. They are very comfortable. The gas mileage has made me smile every time I pass a gas station. I get get MPG! I have considered my Toyota my friend who has always been there for me."...
#3	A wonderful car. Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Styling is very clean, performance is great, handles well in all situations. Cons: Seat belts for driver/front seat passenger make for awkward entry for rear seat passengers - but then this is really a two person sporty, sports car isn't it? Overall: Great car - wouldn't trade it for anything. Looks better to me than the redesigned 2004 model...
#4	SE V-6 Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: I bought a 2003 Solara SE V-6. I found it rather hard to find this trim level with a V-6 but finally found one (Carmax-new- D.C. area). The V-6 is smooth as silk and who can argue the Toyota six's reliability? I found the SLE too pricy, but finding a SE w/ the six is the best choice! I did not need the leather or digital climate control. The JBL stereo sounds sweet, the 6 spoke alloys are very classy and I feel that the Lunar mist(silver) looks the best! Cons: It's a bit hard to get out the back seat. Hard to tell if the engine started or not....not sure if thats a...
#5	Good car if you have a good dealer Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Very sporty looking, nice to drive. Cons: Had the transmission go out after 1 1/2 years, the reverse just went out with no indication of trouble. They do not have new ones so we ended up with a reconditioned one, makes us very nervous. Have had trouble with loose trim on the outside of car which makes a rattle sound that will drive you crazy. Have had it fixed twice, clips keep breaking. Have had trouble with the gold coming off the the letters they changed. Overall: Our dealer has worked with us on all these problems, which has made things easier...
#6	Best car I've ever owned Source: Cars.com ...It appeals to the young like my niece, as well as the elderly like myself. The front seats, cloth covered, are very comfortable for long trips. The back seat is small, but it folds down to allow for great extra storage. The trunk area is extremely spacious. This car is very reliable with only having general maintenance performed to include a battery and wiper blades after 110000 miles. A Toyota is a good investment because they last so long. The interior surfaces and exterior finish still look really great. This Solara is my third Toyota and definitly the best so far. I would recommend the...
#7	Pretty and Sleek Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: I like the style of my 2003 better than the new 2004 Overall: Excellent...
#8	Better than my Mercedes Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: I traded in my CLK 320 for this car, it is a more user friendly and comfortable car. The performance was similar on our US roads. We had the 2 cars side by side where the styling of the toyota was more comanding. Cons: I did like the memory seats in the mercedes. Overall: I traded in my CLK 320 for this car, it is a more user friendly and comfortable car. The performance was similar on our US roads. We had the 2 cars side by side where the styling of the toyota was more comanding...
#9	A good looking coupe Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Attractive styling, powerful engine, quiet smooth ride Cons: Interior is not up to normal toyota standards, could be a little more sportier. Overall: Much better than an Accord coupe and overall a great car...
#10	My New Favorite Car Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: I spend so much time in my car and it is very comfortable for long trips. Very quiet ride and you don't get completely windblown with the windows open! Radio sounds great and is within reach. Roomy back seat and huge trunk. Cons: The material of the seats is like velcro, so every little fuzzy sticks. Overall: I have had this car since November of 2002 and there is no other car that I would trade this for right now! I love it!...
