Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Unsurpassed build quality, smooth and efficient drivetrains, stylish interiors, high-quality materials throughout, extensive safety features.
Cons
- Average performance credentials, middle-of-the-road styling, can't get the V6 with a manual transmission.
What’s new
The Camry Solara is all new for 2004. It features a sleek new design, a larger optional V6 and a revamped interior with additional features and a more upscale look.
Edmunds says
The new standard for elegance, refinement and value in the midsize coupe and convertible segment, but it's better enjoyed from the inside.

2004 Toyota Camry Solara SE V6 2dr Coupe (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
I bought my Solara in 2004 & its still running beautiful in the year of 2018. There has never been no problems with my car. Oil changes ,changing of tires and regular maintenance is all it needs. If I were to buy another car I would definitely purchase another Solara in a heart beat!
Love it!

2004 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6 2dr Coupe (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
My best friend refused to buy American cars and always bought Toyotas, Nissans and Hondas. I laughed at him until I got stuck with a LEMON American GM car.
I bought two Toyotas both 2004 models and they are flawless perfect vehicles. I keep them maintained religiously and they have never let me down.
This Solara is mine and I am absolutely in love with this car. I am 62 and have … never had such a reliable vehicle. You couldn't pry it from mt cold dead hands (unless you gave me a new one)
Nicest Car I've Ever Had [almost]

2004 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6 2dr Coupe (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
I bought the car from a small dealer's online ad and the dealer is 2 highway hours away from my home. The previous owner[s] had all services done at two Toyota dealers. My selling dealer had to have the front upper strut mount body metal reinforced due to heavy corrosion. The repair seems fine. The rear suspension was very noisy - constant clanking/knocking noises over any road surface. … Had to drive the car all the way back for the dealer to inspect, and just before the drive test, and during it, the noise reached catastrophic levels - sounded like a jackhammer crew was bashing the underside to pieces. Dealer replaced both rear strut mounts and struts, and brake rotors and pads. I had the rear sway bar bushings replaced by my local Toyota dealer. The repairs left the car with mild clunking at times, but basically it's not too bad. I've had to replace the entire parking brake cable/shoe assemblies, but at 12 years, it's expected.The car otherwise is absolutely wonderful and I love it more as the weeks go by. The JBL stereo cassette and CD performance is superb. The lighting at night is great. Most people think it's a new car, and you can only tell its age from the driver's seat leather wear. I'd buy another in a heartbeat, but only a coupe. I think the convertible top is hideous when up. I do think having no lock cylinders in the right door and deck lid is dumb though.
Two year report: I still feel exactly the same way. Noisy suspension at slow speed but everything else is wonderful.
New report: Still love the car but that suspension noise does drive me nuts until I turn up the JBL stereo . . . Cassette, of course.
Three year report [next month is three years]: Everything the same, except the rear suspension is somewhat quieter now. No buyer's remorse.
