2012 Chevrolet Camaro consumer reviews

The 6-cyl version of the Camaro is one of the best cars I've ever owned. It gets 30 mpg hwy and performs like an 8-cyl. the LS coupes are very nice, especially the exterior design, and compared to the other models are an even greater value. They are durable and low maintenance. I'd recommend this car to anyone who wants a great, fast ride and a sleek look that doesn't break the bank.

I purchased an RS Camaro new in 2012 with the rally yellow and black stripes. It is by far my favorite car I have ever driven. For only being a V6 the power is very impressive and much more responsive when comparing it to other competitors as I have experience in driving all three vehicles. I also love the sleek retro exterior body style and it definitely turns heads, especially when you add your own special touches to the vehicle. One complaint that I do have, however is that it is not the most comfortable ride on long trips. The seats are very stylish, but do not much cushion, and being that I have lower back problems from prior sports injuries, long trips can cause some discomfort. All in all, it is an amazing car, I don't think I could ever get rid of it!

General Motors Chevrolet Camaro SS is an excellent choice for people looking for American muscle ! Handles well , plenty of power , and good styling . Quality is superb !

I HAVE HAD THREE OF THEM 96,11,12 I AM 6,6 AND I FIT VERY WELL INSIDE 1SS HAS PLENTY OF POWER FOR THE PRICE . I VE BEEN ON LONG TRIPS AND FELT FINE AFTER. ITS WONDERFUL TO DRIVE A CAR THAT I DREAM OF HAVING WHEN I WAS A CHILD!!!! . THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS THAT I CANT DRIVE IT ALL YEAR LONG WINTER.

Went to Sands Chevrolet in Surprise Az to look at Camaros again, didn't think I could afford one but hooked up with another Camaro enthusiast who works there named Joe Tatman and he showed me I could afford one and completely walked me thru the process.. Drove my baby home the same day... Thanks to him I have a new respect for car salesman.. HE even takes my calls today weeks later and takes the time to talk with me.., Could not be happier.. Thank you Sands/Surprise and Joe Tatman.

I am not sure how this car can get a 1 or a 2 Star rating. If your looking for a roomy interior and great visibility why are you buying a sports car to begin with. We are very happy with our Camaro and suggest if in a mid life crisis such as myself to purchase one and have fun with it.

Purchased a new 2012 Chevy RS Camaro convertible 45th Anniversary Edition in late August 13. The vehicle comes very well equipped with the exception of NAVI. It does come with On Star and a dynamite stereo system. I've looked at Camaros for over a year but did not do so seriously as I have 2 children and thought they would not fit in the rear seat. Much to my surprise my 13 and 14 year olds fit in the rear seat just fine (full disclosure: my wife is 5'4 and I'm 5'7 so we don't take up much space in the front.) I am very pleased with the space in the cabin but wonder why the seats feel somewhat stingy in the cushion width. I weigh 155 lbs and find myself wanting a wider cushion on longer rides. To be fair I've only had the vehicle 3 weeks now and may need to find the right adjustment. This vehicle came with 20" tires and the special anniversary rims so the ride is quite stiff but I expected such. I owned a 91 Camaro with a V8 that my wife did not care to drive but she finds this RS version with a V6 a joy to drive. It doesn't have break neck torque off the line but it has plenty of pick up for me. Driving with the top down you're still surrounded by rich sounds from the Boston Acoustic speakers even on the expressway, the bluetooth tethered phone sounds good on expressway with windows up. With the heads up display I have no need to look at the dashboard while driving. I haven't pushed the car very hard but I will say it has great pick up for a car equipped with a 6 cylinder. This may be a small sporty car but it feels heavy and solid. I don't say heavy in a bad way, this thing holds the road very well. The Camaro gives a really big bang for the buck. I complained about the narrow seat but that being my only complaint I have to say I am extremely happy with the purchase my problem now is that I take the long route to every destination and then I don't want to get out once I arrive. (I rated the reliability a 5 because there was no option to bypass this question and did not want to rate it low since I have no experience with this yet.)

Drove the car before buying it. I bought it for my wife because she wanted something with a little more room for her and I to kinda xxxx around in. We love it. We put the top down and let the wind fly.

2012 Camaro 1SS 6-speed Manual Cons: Get the rear view camera. Visibility is limited. Trunk is spacious but entry is not. Larger cups in the cupholder interfere w/ shifting (avoid 7-11 Big Gulps). Windows are up too high. Driving with arm resting on open window unconfortable. Shifting gears (w/ Hurst shifter?) takes time to either adjust after break-in or just to get it right. You'll jerk the car a little shifting between 1st & 2nd for a while. Car feels very tame until you hit higher RPMs. Worst con is the forced shift from 1st to 4th when the computer thinks you're putting along in stop-and-go traffic. When that's not the case, you'll end up shifting from 1st to 4th and then back down to 2nd or 3rd to get needed power. No two ways about it. It's ANNOYING. Pros: Everything else. This car is VERY fun to drive and and the styling is just amazing. At $35K final price, you can't go wrong.

Convertible is everything I dreamed of and more. Great performance & handling. GM did this on right.
