The only way I would trade in my 2007 Solara would be to buy a 2016 Solara! I love my car. The best car I've ever had. We are a Toyota family we own the 2015 Prius ,2008 Camry sedan, 2016 Toyota Corolla as well as the 2007 Toyota Camry Solara. Pleeeease bring the Solara back! I'm Sure others feel the same.

I got into accident with my Camry 2012 and I miss it a lot is lying down with the front open, went and purchased a 2022 Toyota camry with all the technology, and my husband loves it. he gave me his Toyota Solara and I have never felt the way I feel on the road, is fast and the speed is great. Sad to hear that they dont make them anymore. this my retiring type of car don't want be driving like senior citizen when I am 60 yrs. Hoping theyll make more Toyota Solaras again

I have an '04 Solara Convertible with 190,000 miles on it and there is nothing out there to compare it to. Drove the Buick Cascada, which was ok. Got back in my car and will keep it untill it can't run anymore or toyota brings it back. It has been so reliable and it still tears up the road.

My Solara is the most reliable, best made, most awsome car I've ever had. It has been a pleasure to drive. Mine is sporty, powerful, it handles very well and it just doesn't break down. I have the moon roof, 3.3, V-6, 228 horse power, 2004 model and it is so quick, I love this car. I can't believe how lucky I am to have picked it.

I have a 2001 Red Solara Convertible. I noticed in Bakersfield, CA as I was driving to LA from Visalia, CA. It was parked on a back lot at Bill Wright Toyota. I got off at the next exit, and doubled back. There was a Salesman just locking the gate. I said that I would come back the next day, a Sunday. It was the exact car I had wanted, red with a gold top. I came back the next day with two friends. I got a good deal after a sweet test drive. One of the best cars I had ever owned . Still drive it, but it needs cosmetic work.

The best car I ever owned. 200,000+ miles. Still running great. Never any serious problems. .
I’d buy another in a heartbeat.

I too was a solara convertible owner. I have 1 kid and would still buy a new one if it were to come back. I loved everything about that car. Reliability, trunk space, style, and roominess. Sadly, it was totaled in a horrible rear end accident. My trunk did not survive but I did and walked away from the crash to go back to work that day.

Missing my Solara. Beat car I ever owned. Wishing Toyota would bring them back.

Please bring back the Toyota Camry Solara. I loved my car! I had it 12 years and dream it will come back!!

I have a last year Solara convertible SLE black and charcoal leather for sale. Anyone wishing they still had one oh, it has only 70,000 miles on it. You can get up with me at 302-448-6009

Pam (not verified)    February 4, 2019 - 4:09PM

Yes, please bring the Solara back!!! I have a 2000 Solara with 357,000 miles on it, bought it brand new, best care ever!!!!!

April (not verified)    February 20, 2019 - 10:31AM

I owned a 2004 Solara. When my husband and I moved to an area where we needed a truck, I mistakenly traded it in and took his car. It made sense at the time. His car was a year newer and had less miles, YET the solara booked higher reducing the truck payments greatly. I immediately regretted it. I put up with his car for a year or two then traded for a 2008 solara. This time moving up from an SE to an SLE. I love this car but its getting up there in miles. I keep hoping Toyota will bring the car back before it's time to trade again.

Alex (not verified)    February 23, 2019 - 6:28AM

I loved my 2007 Solara, it was the most reliable car I’ve ever had. It ran strong until the end and I really wish Toyota would bring it back. There is no other 2 door car in the Toyota lineup that has room on the inside like the Solara. The amount of stuff I was able to fit in that car when I moved into my first apartment was unbelievable. PLEASE BRING BACK THE SOLARA...

Please bring the Solara back...

Nicole (not verified)    February 28, 2019 - 12:00PM

PLEEEEASE bring back the Solara!!! I drove my 1999 Solara for 15 years, 360,000 miles on it when I sold it. I sold it to a young gal for $4000.00 and she still drives it!!!
I would buy it again if it comes back!!

Jim haynes (not verified)    March 30, 2019 - 10:16PM

I bought a red 2008 convertible solara with tan interior. Absolutely loved it. Keep it in key largo. Got the exact same car, but a hard top for my home up north. If they bring the solara back I’m getting 2 new ones.

Ken (not verified)    June 15, 2019 - 7:12PM

I have a 05 Solara SE Sport. I love this car and would be the first in line to buy another.

Robbie (not verified)    October 4, 2019 - 1:42PM

Leased my 2006 with the intent of leasing a new one when my lease was up, ended up buying it and have loved it ever since. Have 140,000 miles, just a few dings, but looks GREAT! Pearl white with shiny chrome wheels and I will tell you, I just love the heck out of it. Thought about a new car, but heck, why? Bring it back, I see them all over the place, but don't change the body style, they are cool. They run like champs!

Linda Duvall (not verified)    December 16, 2019 - 3:44PM

Please bring it back best car i have ever had (2008 i have 90000miles on her)Better than my BMW 325 ever was!

Lauri Casey (not verified)    January 15, 2020 - 7:11PM

Would buy another one in a heartbeat. Best car i ever owned. Bought it with 5 miles on it. Has 190,000 and drives like a new car. Only thing i have ever done to it is brakes, tires, battery, and alternator.

Darrell Fox (not verified)    February 20, 2020 - 7:46PM

We have am 05 love it please bring this cover table back people who own them would buy the new one

TB (not verified)    July 27, 2020 - 12:40PM

Let's face it...the manufacturer will NEVER bring back the beloved Solara. They know people are willing to pay the money for one (so would I) but they refuse to do so. Sales would go through the roof! So why on earth would they not considering it's a win-win for all!? It's got everything to do with Lexus sales and not overshadowing the overpriced Lexus LC!!!

Nicole (not verified)    August 10, 2020 - 9:47AM

I was in my 06 Solara (pearl white with tan interior) when I was hit head on by a drunk driver. I had paid cash for it. The car was totaled but I climbed out the passenger side with superficial injuries. Shopped for MONTHS to find another one & bought an 08 in the same color scheme. This one has the 3.3L and I will drive it until the wheels fall off. I never thought I would love anything as much as I love my car. The first one literally saved my life. The added Bluetooth connection to my phone and slightly larger engine is worth it. I don’t even mind making my (tiny) car payment and carrying full coverage on it. I can’t think of another car I could say that about. I’m praying that Toyota will bring it back someday. It’s the only way I will willingly trade this one in. Otherwise, I will pamper this one (Betty) for as long as possible. I’m grateful she has less than 110k miles. There’s few things I enjoy more than running around with the top top down. I’m even happy running errands!

Simone Merc (not verified)    August 26, 2020 - 1:37PM

Please Please Please bring back the Solara. I keep seeing them and I wish I had bought one back then. I was too young to purchase then and I always said I would get one but they discontinued it. Make 10,000 for the year and let's see how well it does.

I have a blue with black top 2006 Toyota Solara convertible with only 32 thousand miles on it, great car, I have been thinking about selling it and getting a lexus suv, but I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it, it is the best car ever, I get so many compliments off of this car, even though it is an older model, people still love it.

Laura (not verified)    September 21, 2020 - 9:59PM

I bought a 2008 new, and loved it. I had to sell it in 2017 (with only 80K miles on it) because I needed a heavy-duty vehicle for a few years. I still miss that Solara every day. Now, I would LOVE to buy another. If Toyota is holding back the Solara to encourage sales of the new Lexus, please don't bother- I will not pay $100,000 for a car. Period. I have owned only Toyotas since 1990, but if I have to look to another convertible brand, so be it, I guess. Sad.

Cecilia I Egues (not verified)    January 12, 2021 - 1:55AM

2002 Silver Moon with 220,000 miles! Still running like new! Love my Toyota! I was waiting to buy a new Solara but it was discontinued. Toyota please bring the Solara back!

Mary Forton (not verified)    March 2, 2021 - 2:19PM

I love my 2003 red Toyota Solara that has 250,000 miles on it and was almost totaled when a tree fell on it and our house. I would only replace it with a Solara, new or used if I could find one.

CE ONU (not verified)    April 1, 2021 - 8:48AM

Some meat head hit and totalled my 2004 Solara back in February 2021. Since then I have been looking to replace the car but nothing I repeat Nothing has even come close to it. I miss my car everyday. Toyota please bring back the Solara. For the mean time I will have to use the public transport because I can't stand to see myself in any other car.

A year ago my sister wanted to buy a new to her car and I thought of gifting her my 2006 red solara convertible. BUT, I could not part with it then and couldnt find a car I wanted to purchase. I'm mexican, not married and no kids, but I often drive with my parents and siblings .. my car is just super rooomy. Anyhow, 2021 and my sister's car was giving her problems, so I decided to let her have my car since I had not been using it much, because due to covid i now work full time from home. The lexus is double the price and yet you lose back seat space and trunk space. Back in 2006 I paid 30k out the door, but would be willing to pay double. I love my car .. december 2020 I re-painted it and it looks gorgeous.. like new. I still drive it here and there when sis doesnt use it and drive the family's spare truck, toyota tundra 2004. My brother has a 2021 tacoma .. and sister's old car is a 2009 camry ... lets just say my family loves toyota.

My sister doesnt ever put the car top down ... how dare she not! SMH!

The only other car that I would consider buying is the Mercedes Benz G wagon.
I just like the look .. but that price tag just guts me and.. no option of convertible.

Please bring back the Solara Convertible ... RED, black top and dark interior.. I will pre-order if needed!!!!

I bought a 2006 Silver SLE Solara new from the local dealership and after 15 years with current mileage at 110,000, this is the best car I have ever owned. It is in outstanding condition, like new and this design has held up so well over the years. I too, have been waiting for Toyota to bring back the Solara or at least come up with well designed vehicles that have the same reliability that Toyota stands for. I love my car and the next car will most likely be hybrid or electric. I've heard that Toyota is bringing 15 new cars models through 2025 and since they are late to electric car market, I'm gearing up to see what they are delivering in February.

Looking to purchase a 2004+ Solara COUPE (not convertible) in AZ, CA, or?? Willing to travel for an exceptional one (2008, low miles, etc). OneFineMan40/at/AOL/dot/com. Thanks!

Love the car. Bought it new, first car didn't get any cash off. What did I expect, May in Southern, CA. Always garaged.
2006, in show room condition. SLE Model.

Bought a 2005 red Solara off the showroom floor. This was the first car I purchased on my own and paid off. I would still have it if it weren’t totaled by an 18 wheeler. The best car EVER! Bring it back. I would gladly trade my Cadillac.

Dimi (not verified)    October 12, 2023 - 6:24PM

I have a 2002 Solara...the car has 174,000...please bring the Solar back I will buy the new one!!!
