It was so smooth, I thought I made the wrong turn and had to check the street signs. Freeways are glass like and tar strips and minor irregularities are a thing of the past. The stiffened suspension dissuades wallow or float. In the corners, the Solara shows off its sports tuned suspension. It can be pushed hard and deep into the corners of Green Valley and Bass Lake Road.
Tracking is true and the moderate understeer is very predictable.
It allows for aggressive driving without stress and safe avoidance maneuvering. The rack and pinion power steering has a quicker ramp up in steering effort over the Camry. The result is a tighter, quicker and heavier feel. On center feel and response was excellent and the road feel at speed has been enhanced. Under the hood you will find the familiar Toyota 3.0L DOHC 24 valve V-6.
