#31 of 3934 We can also complain!!! by solara11 Sep 13, 2000 (3:40 am)
I already complained to www.nhtsa.com about my pulling problem. I bet more people have this problem, than do the people who have Firestone tires from Decatur, IL, on their SUV's!
#32 of 3934 Come on guys!!! by solara11 Sep 13, 2000 (3:50 am)
Only your tailor (or wife, or life partner) will know. If you sway towards the left, go to www.nhtsa.com, and let them know! We all love our cars, just want them to work as well as a Yugo or Corolla (made at the same plant in Ontario). The life YOU save might be your personal stylest, or your own!!!

#35 of 3934 Override DRL on Solara? by tomzee Sep 13, 2000 (4:52 am)
I'm considering purchasing a Solara SLE and just had the opportunity to rent one for a weekend. I loved the car but found the DRL headlights to be a potential nuisance. I like the idea of DRL and think it's a great feature, however the driver should be able to turn off his headlights when needed. I can think of three instances where I might want to shut off my lights at night: when pulling into the driveway or making a 3 point turn in a residential neighborhood late at night and one doesn't want to shine their lights into the house. When out on a date and you want to park in a quiet area, be able to leave the motor running for heat or AC.... but want the privacy of having the lights off. And when a deer crosses at night and you need to kill the lights so he will unfreeze and run off the road. Has any Solara owner come up with a work around to allow the lights to be turned off for certain occasions without defeating the entire system? Replies to this message: crank1 (Oct 27, 2004 5:31 pm)
#36 of 3934 DRL override by ish4 Sep 13, 2000 (3:36 pm)
Quite honestly I hate this DRL feature but there is a way around it at least when your one a date and want some privacy while keeping on the A/C.       Turn the car off, put the parking brake on and then restart the car. The lights will not go on.
#37 of 3934 Speaking of lights by ish4 Sep 13, 2000 (3:42 pm)
Has any one tried putting HID imitations headlights on their Solara?   I have a silver SLEV6 and I put on some very nice PIAS Super Plasma headlights in my car. the car looks great but no visibility. You trade look for illumination.   I was considering installing real HID's in my car but its a lot of $$$$$$ (around $1500). But the car looks incredible with them on and the light up the moon!
#38 of 3934 looks for visibility? by radracer Sep 13, 2000 (5:03 pm)
I installed some fake HID's as well. Why in the world would you ever trade in looks for visibility? I sent mine back for a refund. The claim that these bulbs contain 10% xenon is bullshit. The blue casing just filters out a certain color light (i forgot which) to achieve the blue/white light.
#39 of 3934 Pricing Question by gpolt Sep 13, 2000 (5:51 pm)
When people here say that they paid i.e. $500 over invoice plus frieght, are they quoting the invoice price posted on Edmunds and KBB, or are they quoting the invoice price given by the dealer? For example, many salesmen/women including those on THIS chat room add a $350 "mandatory" advertising fee to the Edmunds invoice price stating that it is an out of pocket cost which must be included to reflect their true invoice price. Therfore $500 over invoice ends up being $850 over the invoice figure reported on Edmund's cite; not to mention the 2% holdback the dealer gets from the manufacturer. So on a $500 over deal on a $20,000 Solara, is the dealer truly making $900 or are they really pocketing $1,250? Comments, please.
#40 of 3934 Undisclosed Fees by solaraman Sep 13, 2000 (10:04 pm)
I had the same problem with the "manditory" advertising, handling, and documentation fees. Ridiculous, to say the least.
