Gee either you guys can't read or don't understand english.

I think all Solaras regardless of what year are highly recommended. It all comes down to what you can afford.

If you plan on spending some time and money modding it, I'd go with the first gen V6 w/5spd and SC or turbo it.

If you just want a pimp ride to cruise around in, my vote would be the current gen. 3.3L VVT-i w/5 spd electronic gearbox. Ragtop is optional
