Love the Camaro Convertible

Excellent engine and drivetrain (323 hp v6), decent mileage, averaging 24.5 mpg with 2/3 highway. Rear side visibility on convertible an issue even with camera. Suspension could be better but overall a great car.

Great car and fun for the money

Ours is the 232HP V6 with 6spd manual. Only owned it for 5 days so we can't comment on reliabilty. It's engine got new updates for this year, including no exhaust manifolds. They are cast into the heads. It's absolutely great all around and fun to drive. Research before you buy. Understand the ins and outs before you get to the dealer. There is no reason to have a bad review here. The only reviews should be from owners. NOT shoppers.

My ZL1

I have a 2012 ZL1 and absolutely love this car. I was worried about the blind spots, but the only one I have is the rear corners. Between your mirrors and the rear camera there isn't really a problem. My wifes suburban has blind spots in certain circumstances. Just plain love it and drive it every chance I get.

2012 Camaro SS Inferno Orange

The 2012 Camaro SS rides so much better then the 2011. I drove them both and the revised suspension really makes a difference. I also drove an auto and a 6 speed and ran them down the same sstretch of road and the 6 speed was 18 mph faster on average in the same distance. Don't believe the auto is that fast with 3:23 vs 3:45 in the manual. Plus in the 6 speed you can turn off traction control and put in comp mode at the same time. I love my new camaro. I got the 1SS/RS and saved 4k and in my opinion better!!! You might have a hard time finding one that way.

GREAT Car!!!

Actually own the 2011 RS Bumble Bee Convertable!! What a great car, so much to drive, and a real head turner! 312 HP for the 2011 model out of a 3.6L V6 is pretty amazing when you consider HP Ratings for traditional muscle cars! 323 HP for the 2012 model RS is equally impressive. Are you going to go out racing the supercharged Pony Cars, etc? NO, not unless you are stupid, but for daily driving and for great acceleration on regular roads!!

Great Car

Got the V6 auto. The car is excellent all around, love getting to drive it everyday and getting mid 20s mpg in an awesome car. Visibility is less than say a focus but is not bad, can always see where I need to, much better than what I was driving before. 'Sports car lover', obviously hasn't driven one and is judging off of general articles about it. The camaro SS / ZL1 are much better than any current mustang and a much better drive. (Look for Zl1 vs Boss video / review)

Camaro Convertibles Rock!

Love this car... the exterior styling, engine performance and handling are excellent! Interior styling could be upgraded... it's a little lacking for a $40K car. If you are looking for a car that is fun to drive, you won't be disappointed!

Dream Car

The 2012 Camaro is my dream car. It is fantastic. The exterior takes the 69' Camaro and brings it into 2012.

great car

Stylish, fast, and tight. GM has a winner here, a low priced sporty car that is fast enough, handles well, and is easy on gas.
