 GREAT CAR! THINKS IT'S A LEXUS. THE 
SOLARA DEFINITELY HAS LEXUS SOUND 
DEADENING WHICH RESULTS IN LOW 
WIND/ROAD NOISE. THE V-6 HAS ENOUGH 
UMPH TO BREAK OUT OF A STANDING STOP 
WITH A MONTE CARLO BUT A FEW MORE HP 
WOULDN'T HURT. LIKE OTHERS, IT SEEMS TO 
DING EASILY ON THE SIDES. I CHOSE THE 
SOLARA OVER THE ACCORD, PASSAT, AND THE 
MAXIMA. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN 
THEIR CLASS AND PRICE RANGE. WHEN I'M 
READY TO GIVE UP THE SPORTS CAR SIDE OF 
ME, I WOULD CONSIDER THE AVALON.
