Any Solara owners out there with your thoughts about your purchase? I'm thinkin of diving in and buying a new one in April.

Cannot give you an answer about the Solara, but would like to tell you that"diving in and buying a new car (as you say)" is a great feeling I just experienced with my purchase of a new "fresh-smelling" car (MB Daimler A-Class).. Go for it !
I read the following at http://cars.about.com/od/toyota/fr/ch_toy_solara.htm
Generally speaking, the Solara convertible is a fantastic automobile - especially when the very reasonable selling price of the base SE model is taken into account. However, it is not perfect. While the rear seats can accommodate two full size adults, the permanent headrests back there can restrict the driver's rearward vision. They should at least be foldable. The doors open very wide. Which is a good thing. But even with my 35inch sleeve length I found it a stretch to reach the handle to close the driver's side door. Others will have an even more difficult time. Electronic stability control (VSC) with traction control and brake assist is not available in the SE model. To get these important safety features you have spend an extra three grand or so for the SLE model. The problem is then you also get the leather-covered seats, which are not, frankly, something you really want in a car open to the weather. The Solara is built on the Camry platform - one of the most refined passenger cars available at any price. For the first hundred miles or so I was behind the wheel of the Solara convertible, I felt I could have been driving a Mercedes-Benz CLK such was the comfort level and the ride quality. Toyota's done it again.

If you choose to read.. the above link, pay particular attention to the response with the 'most thumbs up'..
I figure some folks have never enjoyed owning a vehicle to 200k reliable miles...

First of all, read this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjBWXBH9.rW4w8Xffa0c8Ujty6IX?qid=20070301210328AAn8E5d I am pretty sure the Solara is mechanically the same as the Pontiac G6 convertible, since Pontiac and Toyota do a lot of design sharing like the Vibe and Matrix. Toyota has slipped, just do your research.

It's a great car. I don't see any problems with it at all.
