I bought my 01 18 months ago with 58,000 miles on it. Since then I have put 30,000 miles on it. I have had no trouble with the vehicle at all. However, when I first bought it I had to put one quart of oil in whenever it reached 2K miles since an oil change. I began changing the oil every 2K miles and now it doesnt use any oil even if I go past 3K between oil changes (sludge can be a problem with this model engine and frequent oil changes are a good idea). The 4cyl is a little underpowered but it gets good mileage. The interior fit is sound throughout the car. The hood finish is rough and seems to be a common problem with solaras in these years.

I bought this car in 2006 with 31,000 miles i now have 252,000 miles and the only trouble i had was the check engine light came on with a p401 code I replaced vsv valve, the egr valve and a vacuum modulator For a cost of $600.00 parts & labor this happend at 251,098 miles I have owned just about every american made car there is and without a doubt this is the best car i ever owned, i have had nothing but troubles with those cars they spent more time in the repair shop then on the road! It seems american car manufacters are more interestead in Quanity than quality. Even with 252,000 miles this car still runs like new smooth 4 cylinder 2.2 motor, smooth shifting transmission rides like a Lexus. I wish they still made this car i would buy one in a heart beat. I belive i can still get another 250 k more miles from this car without any major repairs, Oh what a feeling, lets go places, you asked for it you got it toyota I won't buy anything else but a toyota Proven reliability

The 4 cylinder motor is reliable and has plenty of power . Just bought this car with 95000 miles, I will go through this car and replace timing belt etc. , axles, struts and put some good tires on it and it will go another couple hundred thousand miles. I have had the car 7 months,after doing the work described above the car continues drive like a brand new car. Getting ready to do a paint job in the same Forest Green.

Great Car. Bought used with 100K. I was kinda scared of high mileage, but reviews gave it an A grade so I took the risk and glad I did. Daily work driver and great on fuel, no problems... solid car still at 120K and 8 years old.
