2003 Toyota Camry Solara Review
Price Estimate: $957 - $1,494

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Roomy cabin, convertible version, reliable Camry genes, smooth engines.
Cons
- Expensive, two less doors but little added excitement, no manual offered with V6.
What’s new
For 2003, the manual transmission is no longer available with the V6 engine.
Edmunds says
Still based on the old Camry platform, the Solara coupe offers little when compared to the '03 Camry and its modern features, unless you want a convertible.

2003 Toyota Camry Solara SE V6 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
It is now 2020 and my car is still performing well. It's still dependable. No major problems.
Love my Solara

2003 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Thought about updating my 2003 Solara but unable to find anything I liked as much as what I have. So, will be keeping it as long as it provides me with a comfortable ride and few repairs.
Bad Blind Spot & Sound, No trunk release

2003 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Don't take me bad, I really like the car for both performance and exterior design. However, blind spot is really big problem, you should buy extra blind spot mirror. Don't trust advertised JBL sound system, I give a 6 on 10 scale. No trunk release inside the car, very inconvenient. Also, you can't read the sound system face plate when there is sunny because of the weird angle.
Good car overall
4.5 out of 5 starsJohnboy, 05/19/2003
2003 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Very easy to use convertible top.
Great handling and responsive tight
feel on the road. Feels like a Lexus.
Ok, not quite, but darn good.
Protective cover that sits on back of
convertible sometimes flies off at
higher speeds and can be dangerous if
you don't pay attention to it. One of
it's only flaws.
