What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Toyota Solara
"A Lifetime Car"
"Received my Solara from a relative who did regular maintenance on it. Clutch is the biggest thing that's been replaced however, that's to expect. Even with the miles that are on it, I would drive it across country and back without hesitating. We actually used this car to go to the mountains because our 2014 Dodge Journey could not handle the hills! Perform regular maintenance on this vehicle and it will be the last car you'll have to buy."
"Long Lasting"
"Bought in 2000 with 23000 miles. Hve never had a problem at 95,000. Still powerful and beyond reliable. Would not take triple the current price value, just keep it for another 5 or 10 yrs."
"Best vehicle ever owned"
"SOLARA IS A SLEEPER AS FAR AS QAULITY AND DEPRNDABILITY. SAY NO MORE AS I HAVE JUST TURNED 200K ON THIS CAR AND STILL HAS ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP AND NOT TO MENTION ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. CMON GM - DODGE - AND FORD ! WHO YA KIDDING? TIME TO GROW UP AND LEARN HOW TO BUILD CARS THAT LAST 15 YEARS PLUS. WHAT MORE DO I NEED TO SAY - YES I KNOW THE TRUTH HURTS...... SUCK IT UP."
