Head-Turning lines that simply grow more classic

Unclip the top; push the button… the top is down; you’re on your way… up the coast to Santa Barbara. Shall we stop for early lunch at In-N-Out in Ventura? Let’s press on 25 minutes more to Montecito, drive under the 101, cruise East Beach’s Art Festival, to lunch upstairs at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club’s Pier… for the morning catch. Sit down, skip the menu, ask, “What’s fresh?” And have the best-prepared seafood ever! After… a stroll along the breakwater near high tide. Trying to stay dry. Look at the old abalone boats, trawlers, and maybe the odd purse-seiner; a wooden ketch or two. Want to stay the night? Resorts are a lawn away from East Beach. A mile more takes you back to Montecito, across the tracks to quaint hotels and cottages that were used by Hollywood royalty. Tomorrow? Take the convertible shopping up State Street, walk the grounds and architectural beauty of City Hall. Have a sandwich at the little café across the street from the North Lawn. Head North to a tour of the Mission. After… evening, still top down, find the North end of “APS” (Alameda Padre Serra) up in the hills behind Santa Barbara. Slowly take it to the end of APS at five points where you will get lost. One road takes you Westmont College; another to the orchid greenhouses, another to the high school, yet another to the fire station and church, still another to downtown Montecito… and one to the freeway home hmmm that’s 5 roads and 7 places… *chuckle* I did mention you might get lost.

I5 years old and still going strong

Other than routine maintenance, tires, brake pads, I've not needed any engine work done. The roof is easy to take down or put up. Has up to date features of 2008. Inside trunk release and gas door. Trunk could fit 2 dead bodies.

Love the car!

Purchased in 2008 and promptly fell in love with it! Roomy, comfortable for driver and passenger, full trunk, top does not take up trunk space! Powerful and peppy…very consistent 23-25 mpg! Had the car 15 years and have no intention of trading! Can’t think of a better testimony than that! It is a very popular car. We see lots of them on the Highway! Do not understand why Toyota stopped making them because we would have likely traded for another one!

Almost no repairs in 14 years

Love the car. Have had no problem with it mechanically. Mostly only ordinary maintenance work. Fourteen years and only radio issue. Should still be making it. Get many positive comments about the look of the car.

Love my car

I have a 2008 SLE V6 Toyota Solara that I purchased used in 2016 with 17K miles on it. It took me a solid month to find it but I knew I wanted another Solara after totaling my 1999 Solara in a car accident. I love the way it rides and the way it looks. I also like the fact that I rarely need repairs on it other than new tires and brakes now and then. The Solara is a solid car and safer than most as my 1999 Solara smacked into a tractor trailer while driving on I-95 and I walked away without a scratch. I drove it home from the accident with the passenger side completely smashed up and the spinning wheel indent of the tractor trailer wheel embedded in my car. I highly recommend the car.

Love my car

Wish Toyota still made a convertible. My car is over 13 years old and still going strong. Just hope it keeps going for a few more years since there is no other convertible out there that suits me more than this car.

Best handling car

The vehicle has excellent fuel economy for what it is worth. I avg about 36mpg, plus with the way the car is set up, wiring and customizations are easier than I thought they would be. Lifted a few panels no screws or bolts required and wired in a backup camera and she works like a charm. Never been happier with a car in my life

2008 Toyota Solara

I bought this car new because it was the last year Toyota made them. I was driving an older model at the time of this car. I am 110% happy with my car and haven't seen anything i would rather be driving.

2008 Toyota Solara

This is my 2nd Solara. I had a 1999 Solara that was still running great in 2016 until I totaled it. I was determined to get another Solara because it was a very dependable car and I liked the way it looked as well as the way it drove.

Best car I ever owned

I have a 2008 Toyota Solara convertible and it handles just like a 2020 model. I just wish they still made the convertible because in 20 years, I might need a new one. Excellent car. Very low maintenance. Handles well on freeway and on the gravel roads I drive on as I live in a very rural area. I get a ton of compliments on the looks of the vehicle as well.

Fun car still runs great with 210,000 miles

Comfy fun car to drive. Lots of room and huge trunk. The top does not eat up trunk space like domestic engineering does. Sound system is excellent. They don't make them anymore so grab one and have fun.

My Toyota Solara Convertible

I love this car and I wish Toyota would not have stopped making the convertible because i would probably have bought another one even though my mechanic says i will last for. A while longer. I hope I love this car.

Convertible comfy with great trunk space

What a comfy spacious convertible. The interior is the size of a 4 door Camry. It rides smooth. When the top goes down, it uses an electric motor, the trunk space is not use at all. It has a cavity just for the top. Never been stranded in it. I just change the oil regularly and replace the B parts when needed (brakes, battery, bulbs, belts). I have 195,000 on it and the oil never turns black...it is dark brown when it is time to change. Santos Auto Service does all my work, except I change my own oil. I also spray silicone on my CV boots when I change my oil so that rubber stays pliable and I avoid a time heavy replacement job costs for an inexpensive rubber boot. Great car! I am shooting for 300,000 Miles!

I love my Solara!!

This vehicle looks and performs great!I have had high priced cars in the past from Mercedes to BMW to Cadillac and I live this car just as much without the $80-$100,000 price tag! I bought a red convertible because the body style is awesome and even though it is used Toyota cars are known to stand up without thousands of repairs.
