What is a Camry Solara?  From 1999 to 2008, Camry had a sportier coupe version called the Solara.  It was a way of making Camry less boring and more appealing to those going for BMW and Mercedes sportier cars.  In this sense, this was a laughable attempt.  Mainly because it was not an actual sports car.  Toyota also had sportier models in production such as Supra, MR2 Spyder, and the Celica.  Why would anyone spend the money to get sporty coupe that was essentially a Camry?  The sales reflected this and despite their best efforts, it was discontinued after the 2008 model.  But today, they are fairly easy to find and a solid buy.

The Solara is perfect for those who want the reliability and practicality of a Camry but still want something a little more cause Camry is a a bit boring.  Diving into an actual sports car meant the practicality is out the window and the costs generally go up as they are more expensive.  Camry Solara is based off the Camry and is every bit a heart and soul of a Camry.  Some parts share the same number.  However, it has an upgraded suspension, better dynamics, and had an available tuned Lexus-class V6 engine.  It is also one of only convertibles in Toyota’s main lineup.  The only downside to this car is that it is a 2-door and dashboard cracks but all-in-all a solid performer.  Oil consumption is an issue in these engines so frequent checks are recommended.  

If you see a Camry Solara, it is a solid choice for a used car.
