“The sweeping console invokes the intimate atmosphere of a sporty coupe. the seats are relatively flat, which makes sliding in and out easy, but they could use a little more side support. The cloth is nice, though it's a bit bland.” — New Car Test Drive
“From the side, the new Solara is teardrop-shaped, with an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.29. That translates to less wind noise and better fuel economy.” — Cars.com
“The suspension filters bumps and noise yet it doesn't isolate the driver from valuable road feel.” — New Car Test Drive
“The Solara is a true four-seater, with more rear head and leg room than Accord or Sebring. Two adults will feel surprisingly comfortable in the back seat of the Solara on most journeys of less than 100 miles.” — Cars.com
“Though the Solara is still in need of a bit more body control, we found it to be a fun driver on curves and corners.” — Car and Driver
“It's no sports car. It corners fairly flat, but the tires start squealing when driven hard.” — New Car Test Drive
