What is your favorite feature or thing about your Solara that makes it unique from other cars?

I for one like it because it's very unique looking and that there's not many around. Which makes it nice when you customize it because then you can further set yours apart from anything else. It's a good mix of classy/sporty.

One more thing...if you get the Tokico/Eibach combo along with some 18s and nice tires it corners/handles extremely well while still maintaining a comfortable ride quality. Not to mention it gives it a more aggressive look....it's perfect.

I agree with Doug.

I was just talking to my friend today and you don't see many solaras around, especially ones that have mods done. I love the look of the solara, especially after some mods.

Most importantly, i have found the solara very easy to drive and very confortable

The seats are my favorite feature. I test drove a lot of cars before I bought my Solara, but when I sat in the drivers seat, even before I drove it, I was sold :). Plus, I also like that there are not many of them around, at least in the 20 something circles I run.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

It's pretty rare to see a Solara up here, and my car is unique since there are only like 2-3 Modified Solaras and none of them has as much mods as me.

Good point! I've heard nothing but rave reviews about the coin tray. It's obvious that Toyota's engineers devoted a lot of time and energy to making it the best in it's class.

good strong A/C

before modding, it used to be stock ride quality and ground clearance.

I remember my friend once told me after I got my car that it looks cool because from the front it looks like that sporty-type car and from the back it looks more luxury....so I'm just agreeing what you all have been saying, it's a nice mix of sport/luxury 8)

actually, that's sort of ongoing joke here on the boards. you'd only have the cointray if you have the SLE model. i don't, i have the SE.
