 I bought my 1999 Solara in April of 
2003 and haven't had any major problems 
with it.  I've seen a lot of different 
reviews on here and some are accurate 
whereas others I can't understand.  The 
interior is pretty straight forward, 
don't expect some crazy/flashy foreign 
interior.  The ride is very smooth and 
it has decent power, but nothing huge 
compared to other coupe's.  I have had 
issues with the struts, but I'm from 
Michigan.  We have the worst roads in 
the entire country!  Fuel economy is 
average, not as good as I expected from 
a Toyota, but overall I've been VERY 
happy with my purchase.  I have yet to 
fix a single thing on the car and I'm 
approaching 76,000 miles on it.
