2008 Toyota Camry Solara Convertible

If the Toyota Camry Solara Coupe answers those who wanted a vehicle more personal and sporting in nature than its four-door sibling, the Camry sedan, then the Camry Solara Convertible answers the needs of those who desire to drive 'al fresco.'

Like the Camry Solara, the Camry Solara Convertible is available in three trim levels: SE, Sport and SLE. Well-equipped at all levels, the convertible features Anti-lock braking (ABS), driver and front passenger advance airbags, air conditioning with air filtration, tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio and display controls, tire pressure monitors, AM/FM/MP3 audio system, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The Sport Convertible includes front and rear under-bumper spoilers and side rocker panels. At the back is a rear spoiler and exhaust tip. The Sport's insides are not left out, receiving a dark charcoal interior with leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake. The SLE convertible tops the range with automatic climate control, wood grain interior trim, power driver seat, power tilt/slide moonroof, and JBL premium audio system with satellite and MP3 capabilities.

The Camry Solara Convertible is exclusively equipped with Toyota's 3.3-liter V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVTi). Rated at 210hp @ 5,600 rpm, and 220 lb-ft of torque @ 3,600 rpm, the engine helps to achieve EPA fuel mileage ratings of 18 city/ 27 hwy with the 5-speed automatic transmission. The automatic is the only transmission available with the V6.

Safety equipment abounds with driver and front passenger advanced airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags. Three point seatbelts with emergency locking retractors and anti-lock brakes are also included. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is available as an added cost option.

Options for the Solara Convertible include an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support, a JBL Premium Audio system with six-CD changer and satellite radio, hands-free Bluetooth controls, and vehicle stability control (VSC), and High Intensity Discharge headlamps.
