Anyone driving a Solara? Like 2000 / 2001 model, if so, how do you like it? Thanks.... no flame wars about American vs. Import Cars please, I like 'em both but after tons of research... it seems this car is the best for my current situation.

Factors I want info on:

Quietness
Comfort
Reliability
I care not about performance stats since it varies so greatly between the I-4 and V-6 Models.

I don't drive one but i test drove it (2k2 redesigned fascia/taillights) several times when my mother was looking for a car. The interoir and exterior quality is excellent and is fairly quiet inside. There's a noticeable difference in interior noise levels between the I4 and V6 models of this car however.

Compared to the Accord coupe i'd say it's quite comparable but the Solara is definitely a notch quieter, though interior space is also a notch smaller than the Accord. Also, when compared to the new Camry you'll definitely notice that the new Camry is smoother and handles the bumps on the road better.
