- In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2004 Toyota Solara SLE V6. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

I wanna get this car. Really eye-catching design, powerful engine. So cool.
Konstantin Lebedev I have the car😏
@@kjohnny3586 I have the drop top
@@Pirategod23 Same here haha, what year and color? I dreamt of owning one since my mom rented one 12 years back, I finally found one June 2020! It's a great, reliable, fun car.
My first car! 04 Red coupe black interior
@@ToyotaCelicaDude1 06 red naturally I put a touch system in people think it’s newer
i dont know why but i love older hondas and toyotas from the years 04-07

Woh; seat slides all the way forward....with ease.
You are a natural at the camera.
The 2004-2006 Toyota Solara SLE V6's are great cars. I bought a blue one in 2005, with only 10K on it. I now have 163K, and it runs great. Yes, you always have to do maintenance, and had to put shocks/struts/exhaust system recently for around $2K total. But besides that, it's been a very trouble free car.
In my opinion, one thing I noticed with the Solara, is that it looks great in certain colors, and not so great in others. Dark blue, black, white, light blue all seem to look very nice. Red doesn't seem to look as good, neither does tan. However, tinting the windows for this car makes a BIG difference in how it looks. Also, upgrading the wheel to 18 inch can make it look even sharper. Or always use tire shine, since that also makes the tires much nicer looking.
The tint and making sure your tires shine, or upgrade to bigger wheels transform this car from a "old" person ride, to a nice looking, cheaper, luxury coupe.
i was thinking about tinting my windows but idk if it would look good i have a green color but also has a black tint to it
I have this model, and a 2010 Camry SE Sedan. I'm set for life on cars!!!!!!!
Great review...I have an '04 SE with the 2.4 4 cylinder.Has plenty of power and gets 33mpg on the highway. Personally I think it is a gorgeous car inside and out, and could have been sold as a Lexus SC...it looks like a Lexus product both inside and out. I know everyone has their opinion, but I find it hard to believe that some people find the Solara ugly.
The back end does look a little wonky with the tail lights, still an amazing car with all the features inside nonetheless
I love these videos. I’m buying one of these cars in an hour
My grandpa recently bought one. It’s a red sle solara. It has 183k miles and it still drives like new. I can’t wait till he gives the car to me.
Thanks for the post! I test drove one yesterday, and I really have my heart set on getting one!! Wish me luck!
Gettig a 2002 Toyota Solara! So stoked!
I got a 1999 Camry Solara when I was 15 years old, kept it for 4 years throughout high school, ultra reliable. When I graduated HS, I decided to go sporty and I purchased a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse. What a mistake. It was fun and cool for the first few weeks, until cheaply designed plastic such as in door handles started to break. Then I extremely missed the luxury, reliability, and quality roomy interior of my Solara. I am now 19, and I cant wait to get the 2004 v6, and get my Solara back.
Sweet, thanks a lot for this video, Kyle! This one seems to be in pretty good shape for its mileage and I'm sure it has a lot of life left in it. My 2008 SLE V6 has been awesome... it has a nice amount of comfort, plenty of power, and fairly decent handling.
Gorgeous car. luxurious inside, super comfortable seats, smooth and easy to drive, very spacious, large trunk. I love everything about it.
I have a 2006 SE Sport. Some people may look at this car and be like "its just a camry" but when you actually drive it for a while you realize its much sportier and comfortable than a camry
What a beautiful car. It's reminded of my mother car 2002 Lexus ES300.
just bought one with only 35,000 miles on it!! im so excited =D same model as this one with all the same options. Test drove it and I was amazed by it! great car!!
Here we are 8 years later, my brother just bought one as his first car, however a 4-cylinder, but still, do you still own this car? Still enjoying it? Still recommend it? Did you enjoy it when you owned it? Did you have to do a lot of maintenance over the years? Would like to get a first-hand ownership opinion if you don't mind...
I still have mine. 180,000 miles and she still never lets me down. ❤️❤️❤️
Same !!!! I got 186,000
Does it ever give u trouble?
@@masiaaxx8947 None whatsoever 👍🏾
Great vid as always Kyle!
Didn’t realize a V6 had to 225 hp ! That engine sounded clean and strong
I had this car, V6 SLE midnight blue. Absolutely loved it, however i traded it in for a
2012 C-Class Coupe. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. smoother ride than the Benz I must say.
Toyota sorara 2012
does it a have an aux adapter?
No
I have an 01 and I love it !!!
I used to have a Camry and that's what I was looking for to replace my current Honda Civic Coupe, but I think I fell in love with this car instead. I love the look with the 2-door, but still giving me more room than my Civic.
foolishlyali well yeah, this is more akin to a Honda Accord coupe, not a civic coupe. Camry competes with Accord, corolla competes with civic.
Lol! 5:28.
When the music kicked in. Perfect track for advertising the car. I haven't heard that song in a long time..
Gorgeous wish to had one
Of course, so when you're keeping the hostage in the trunk he/she will be comfortable on their unknown voyage.
EXTRA CLEAN
its wonderful and lovely car, like to buy it as soon as possible
that engine has a nice sound to it
i have been driving one of these for 6 years. reliable and much quicker than a lot of cars in its price range and class. i have the black one and the interior doesnt look as good. its got some torque all throughout the rpm range. sound system is nice. i just wish mine was a convertible, its also a long car
Beautiful car
Muito lindo..... estou procurando um desses!
i had that car, my friend totaled it, bought a 2005 sienna xle limited awd love the sienna even more
kyle any updates from your dads dealership anytime soon??? been awhile since the last full update video (: keep up the good work!
Love these cars......
the engine on the 2004-2009 Toyota Camry Solara
Engines
2.4 L 2AZ-FE I4
3.3 L 3MZ-FE V6
based on looks only I would definitely say go for the subaru. but based on reliability, this car will not let you down. So in other words, go for the Solara
I'm in love with a Solara I want a 08-07 sle the pearl white color but I'll take a light blue or black long it has all the features I want, I swear everyone I meet that has Solara say they love they car & it drive so smooth!! can't wait til I get one!!!
I like your energy for the car!
I hope you got the car.
I'm looking at one myself in 2024 in what appears to be a very well maintained one with all the bells and whistles.
They are asking $5200 CANADIAN
wich is probably around $3800 USA.
I sware it looks like a more compact Lexus ES330
@@Scientists_dont_lie Good luck on getting your Solora, No I haven't gotten my Solora but I still want 1.
Nice~
The day will be made if they bring this car back under scion name and put the 2GR_FE 3.5 V6 from the current Camry/Es350 that would be the day!!!
Julian Bigay 2 years later sadly scion is gone
I have 2006 Toyota Solara Sport V6 pretty rare to find with the sport factory body kit.
@saabkyle04 if i'm not mistaken this was to compete with the Accord 2 door of it's day? great video work buddy noone else does it like you:)
glad to see your fairlane...
THIS CAR IS FUCKING NICE. I've been trying to buy a camry and just stumbled across this thing. I can sacrifice 4 doors for such a luxurious interior, same engine same mileage as camry, probably slightly better i bet its a lighter car. I want one of these! those gauges look cool as hell, wouldn't mind watching the gas go down, cool gas gauge lmao
+nukka200
I have yet to find another car with as nice gauges. Those white background gauges looks very sharp.
I have the V6 model. ITS SO SPORTY and really reliable. and the non original parts tend to last a lot on these cars
+nukka200 no its not...
+nukka200 The 2007 gauges look way better.
Ness Rosenbrad I don't doubt it but theyre also 10 times more expensive then 4'- 6' models. I cant be spending close to 10 grand
I have a Toyota Solara SE convertible its a great car. Has nice power but is still practicle with a lot of trunk space, and decent space in the rear seats. SE isnt a luxurious as the SLE obviously but its mostly just the leather, SE has the same engine.
does it have an aux input? or does the 2005 have it?
Getting this '04 but the red one, my first car.
+Landon How you liking it so far?
i see you have brought the fairlane, you should do a test drive for us kyle
Cool helper arm on the seatbelts.
I knew Toyota would make a sports car such as GT86/86, etc, plus the Solara
@Goldenrod636 The actual Camry coupe was discontinued when this car came along. I think the "official" name for this car is supposed to be Camry Solara but it's only badged Solara.
@saabkyle04 it does look luxurious....i just love those wood inserts.
Could you give a tour of the white sillverado I saw in the background thanks
A rare dream car of mine
Get one! I own the v6 coupe and it’s the best car I’ve ever bought.
Pass the Salt is yours the XLE Gold package? If so yours is really rare
Joseph Linz Nope, mine is pearl white and just the SE model. I almost bought the same in the SPORT package but that car was worn down due to the previous owner. I found my current one and haven’t been happier with my decision!
Pass the Salt well that’s cool, you got a nice rare car,
Joseph Linz thank you! I love it like my child. Just had the second timing belt replaced. Get one while you can!
Show me the Carfax =D Nice video as usual Kyle !
@doninjapan those arent cup holders....they are designed to hold two-2 liter bottles of soda, and they are also designed to hold 2 gallons of milk without them tipping over...handy feature
A very stylish Camry. A shame you rarely see those here in Europe.
how do you turn on the dashboard lights
@crystalscan2002 the Solara basically is a 2 Door Camry XLE.....one of my favorite coupes.
what’s the lock thing on the drivers side at the bottom
That boy fast
Does it have remote trunk release from a key button? It's very uncomfortable when you have to open the driver door and pull some lever every time you need to get into the trunk.
Yes it does. Mine has one
@saabkyle04 oh, okay i can see it now, it doesn't show up as much as the driver's side, but great video kyle, and have you been to the italian imports dealer right off of i-40 in Greensboro?
Can you have this remote entery/alarm installed by Toyota aftermarket? 0:33
Was the timing belt changed on this car?
As an owner of a 2008 Lexus IS250, I must admit that this car despite the Toyota badge, looks like a Lexus. It could be an 04 Lexus ES coupe if Lexus ever made such a model back then. From a Lexus owner, this solara is pretty damn close to being a Lexus itself.
@2100Awesome I don't know if you saw it, but he has a 2008 Solara Convertible on his channel. That was one of the cars that he detailed a little over a year ago. =)
This is a great car. I have a 1999 with 220,000 miles on it. I wish Toyota would bring it back. The only complaint I have with the 2004 to 2008 model is that fat looking rear. I have to disagree with the previous comments about it being a female car. It is just a scaled down looking version of Lexus coupes.
teeemack yes i agree. I’m way more of a 99-03 fan but I love all the years of it.
I bought a 99 SLE v6 the other day for 3150 Smogged tax fees etc from a used car Dealership seems Pretty nice do You think I got a good deal how many does Your solar a have now? Mine has 170000 Miles are You still happy with the extended long term reliability with Your 99 Solara? Thank You for Your Reply. Sincerely Thomas Raymond Fresno California.
real nice car, I have a 2008 Solara sle v6 with just under 20,000 miles , a true high end luxury coupe from Toyota , with a lot of Lexus D.N.A
+Blair Lovett
Yep, have both a 2004 Solara SLE V6, and a 2006 Lexus ES330. Both have the same engine + transmission. The Lexus is a bit cushier, and I love the air cooled seats. But I prefer my Solara. I actually think the Solara dash and interior looks better than the Lexus ES330. And far better cupholders. The ES330 cupholders are a joke and a disaster waiting to happen.
Hey George, thanks for your reply, I to am very happy with the Solara, I had a Honda Accord V6 coupe before this Solara, and I got to say this Solara is twice the car....I like it a lot better, I would like to have seen Toyota put the duel exhaust on this car though at the time of production.
I looked at Honda Accord V6 coupes also, but decided on the Solara, for several reasons, including it had more room, and more luxurious. Yep, would like to have the dual exhausts.
I agree, I find the Solara to be a bigger car, a much more longer and sleeker body style ,and yes far more luxurious.
+George Sidor Duals would be so freaking sexy
believe it or not they come in handy once in a while
@NadrianATRS Thats why its called the Camry Solara. The 2-door camry sold so bad that they dropped it and made the Camry Solara.
@Ariffnp5j98 saw the falcon at :33 not the hyundai. idk where i could have missed it at?
While I'm not a fan of Toyota, I think this car is one of the few stylish cars Toyota has made. My friend has this car, and sadly I found the rear headroom inadequate (I'm about 5' 11", almost 6'). I wouldn't mind owning this if I was a driver though haha
My Cousin Tracey had a black 1999 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6 that she had hit ran into with a mailbox, got it fixed, then her husband Jimmy burned the passenger floor board up, had the floorboard replaced. She just traded it in for a 2011 Nissan Altima, and it was still running when she traded it in. So all you people who are posting negative comments about Toyotas, guys please read this and you will think twice about Toyotas. Every Car Designer has a point to where their cars will have issues.
This looks exactly like mine.
Is this a midsize or full-size? Either way I think 27 MPG for an 04 isn't bad considering the size of the vehicle.
Mom had the same car but my dad totaled it . He’s okay that all that matters thank God !
@jaiamratlal Great idea!
@game2heart No its not you can clearly see it on at 1:52.
Nice linkin song
You should do the 2006 GTI
the transmission of the 2004-2009 Toyota Camry Solara was
Transmission
4-speed automatic
5-speed automatic
5-speed manual
Heh, I have a dark blue version of this car, 2005 however. There is not a single difference from what I can tell !
Mine has a front bumper rock deflector tho that I think looks better with, and the plate aera at the back is full, not hollow.
I love this car but parts are hard to find in Canada (Interior specifically)
the 2004-2009 Toyota Solara was assembled in
Georgetown, Kentucky, United States
Best toyota ever made, but it looks better in black or white.
Sad they have stopped producing it.
Very nice. How much?
I have this exact car with 111K miles on it. It was meant to be driven manually. I kind of laugh at how much acceleration I get in third, just getting to 60 mph pretty easily. There are a few quirks that I don't like. However, I don't think I will ever let this one go. It's just too enjoyable to drive around town and do your daily tasks....
I like it. I wish they made a sporty Camry coupe, like the Accord Coupe.
This is that
is it a v6 model?
Hi, I'm looking to buy a Solara, 2004 and better. I'm concerned about the leg room in drivers seat. I'm 6'5. I'm wondering if this vehicle is comfortable for a tall person in the drivers seat? Thanks!
i believe so. I had the solara first gen and the legroom is about a inch off in this gen. i think it should be fine. I almost maxed out the seat (im 6'2)
Can anyone tell me this, i have a 2008 toyota solara SLE and when i am on the freeway merging i hear a whistling noise and when i went to toyota they said its because of the plastic air intake? Is that true? It's only when im as you can say "pedal to the medal" merging or going at a fast speed.
yes it's because of the intake, all solaras do it
Toyota should bring the Solara back!
teeemack yes
teeemack agreed
How much is this car please.Thanks
@DerAdventurer ||||||| By the way, thanks for sharing, Kyle!
The interior resembles that of the 2006-2011 toyota camry. The design for that camry started in 2001 so maybe thats why.
18!! Were you live at???
I want this car nice Macon ga
@saabkyle04 kyle where are the test drives!?
the average MPG on the 2004 Toyota Solara automatic is
20 City 29 Highway
why did they stop making this car?
@WoZIMoo i was just saying that you had they had to get their Solara fixed cause they ran in to a mail box lol
