Consumer Review Video - 2006 Toyota Solara SLE 3.3L V6 Coupe

Common problems and easy repairs on a 2006 Solara

The 2006 Toyota Solara SLE is an easy car to maintain. The headlight and highbeam bulbs are easily accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes. The tail lights also have very simple access, as they’re all located behind a single cover in the trunk and can be removed with ease. Accessing the battery shouldn’t be a problem, as no large covers need to be removed and its bracket and terminals sit right on top.

However, the 2006 Toyota Solara SLE has its downsides. The bulbs for the fog lights and turn signals don’t have reliable access, as the wheel well lining needs to be removed to reach them. The glove box needs to be disconnected before the cabin air filter can be accessed, which will require the use of tools. Accessing the engine air filter also requires tools, and its housing’s limited flexibility may become a problem.
