| Toyota Solara Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 210-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I was continually impressed that, given reasonably conservative driving, this torquey 3.3L V6 returned fuel economy in the high 20s and even touched the 30s on a long drive from Phoenix to San Diego. |
| 2006 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I get great fuel ecomony: 25-29 mpg combination of highway and city driving. |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 157-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I keep getting above EPA estimates. City/Highway/Combined at 26/35/32 |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Increased distance between gas stops. |
