Very hot convertible

My first convertible and my first Camaro. Have the 2SS V-8 with 6 speed. Black and orange exterior with orange interior. Disappointed that exterior orange color comes from vinyl. At $47,000 sticker, I would expect it to be paint. Plenty of power and a great sound when you stand on it. Transmission is a little notchy, but that may improve with use. I'm 6'9" and have just enough room. Didn't fit in earlier Camaros. Could Detroit finally be catching on to the fact that there are a lot of big guys out there? Handles like a dream. Goes where you point it with no body lean. Really fun to hammer it coming out of a turn. Taken several guys for a ride and they're all impressed. Car feels claustrophobic with the top up, but it's just great with the top down. Really can recommend it, particularly the convertible. Get a lot of thumbs up and waves when I'm driving it.

New Black Camaro

There is nothing like knowing you have a new Black Camaro in the garage when you wake up in the morning. If you dont want to buy one dont test drive it because you will go crazy till you can buy it.

awesome

I traded in my 2010 SX4 Suzuki for my camaro. The Suzuki is a nice little car but it isn't a camaro. I got the 6 cylinder LT model black with a white stripe. It is an awesomely engineered product is all I can say. Strangers are constantly commenting on the looks and ask questions about it. I'm 76 years old and driving is fun again. Plus I'm getting 27 MPG, same as the Suzuki. I gave it 4 of 5 on comfort because it is a wee bit hard to get in and out of for a 76 year old but not a real problem.

camaro

When I was a little girl the Camaro came out. My dad worked for GM so we were excited for the Camaro to come out back then. I've wanted one ever since! I really had no intention of getting this one, thinking I could never afford one. Well..... I'm so glad it worked out. I absolutely love the car. It is quick, smooth riding, great to look at, comfortable, and much cheaper to run, and cost less than my 2006 Chevy Colorado crew cab. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAR AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

Perfection!

I have had my ZL1 for about a month now. I have been 100% satisfied and happy. It turns heads and gets good comments every time I take it out, which is daily. Its Victory Red, Black wheels. Very fine car!

proved again and again

this has proven over and over again to be an awful car. The visibility makes me feel really unsafe. Chevy hasnt made a good car since they have been in business.

Camaro convertible owner

I love this car. Camaro legacy lives on with the retro styling of this beauty. The interior is upscale and well planned out, I'm crazy about the heads up display and back-up camera, attractive leather seating with stitching is a plus. Plenty of power with the 323 hp V-6. I do have to say that the steering is a little touchy, maybe I'll get used to that. Rides very well considering the performance suspension. All and all I feel I made a good choice in purchasing this victory red LT2 convertible. I get a lot of head turning reaction and favorable comments from people on the street! I would recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting a beautiful appearance and great road ability in one package.

Mello in yellow

I purchased my Rally Yellow 1LT convertible in late May. Then took it on a 5,000 mile road trip. Car is quiet and cruises effortlessly on the Interstates. But, put the top down and hit the back roads for some real fun. Averaged around 26mpg, and could not achieve the 29mpg advertised. Excellent power at all speeds inspite of the high gear ratios (fuel mileage?) Car is gorgeous and draws attention where ever you go. Cloth seats are comfortable and both are power assisted. Rest of interior is okay, but a little too much black. Had to retrofit a spare tire for $350 (It's only $150 if ordered from the factory), because I don't trust the inflator kit for long distance travel in remote areas. So far, very pleased with the Camero, and no problem areas.

Love this car

Have had my Inferno Orange 2012 V6 for almost 6 months and I love it. The MPG I am getting is better than I expected, I have gotten 21.5 going back and forth to work. The car is quiet, smooth, and a joy to drive. The HUD is very awsome I dont know how I got along with out it. The sound system is just amazing. The seats are very comfortable, and yes the back seat is more like storage unless you have very small children. There is that coupe problem of seeing out the back, but it was very easy to get used to and I have no problems keeping track of cars around me. The back up camera is a must for me with this car so look for one with it. I have owned Hondas and Toyotas, and this car is every bit as nice if not better than they were in fit and finish. As for the Mustang after owning one for a few years I much prefer the Camaro. It drives so much better. If you are thinging of getting one I would say go drive one, they are not for everyone, my husband does not like it as much because of his height. And some people just cant get used to the limited sight, but I LOVE mine.

2012 Rally Yellow Camaro

Overall, a very nice car. The seats are firm and handling is tight. Lots of power from the 327hp V-6. Gas milage ~18mpg, similar to my old '99-Camaro V-6 with only 200hp. Sporty design with a modern stylish interior design and fun to drive. A good vehicle for the price. The only issue I have had is vuing the dashboard through the steering wheel.
