Best decision ever !!!

Have driven chargers forever and a day. Decided to try something else and boy am I glad we did. Never buy anything else other than camaro. Sharp, stylish, and the 4cyl still feels just as good as the Hemi did.

American Muscle Car

6th generation Camaro SS is an amazing vehicle! Part Cadillac, and part Corvette! Electronics will make u smile, there is plenty of it! I am 6 foot 4 inches tall, and my legs are smiling when i drive. Suspension absorbs all the grooves and bumps on any road, the Bose sound system has clear and crisp clarity making music soothing. Run Flat tires also a nice feature when traveling, no need to pull over right away and wait on a Tow! Although Roadside Assistance is a free feature regardless. Performance to pass slow pokes is 455 Horsepower and Torque! Rain and Snow feature xxxxxxx the engine timing to assist better traction, works with the Stabilitrack and ABS. When cornering at any speed, the Rev feature ensures the vehicle does not lag power when slowing down! HUD (Heads Up Display) is a option that can be adjusted to anyones height, helps keep your eyes on the road and knowing your speed at all times. Several Modes of Vehicle power transfer from slick roads to even the track are just a push of a button! Magnetic Ride Suspension is a huge bonus on the Camaro, calculates over a thousand inputs a second. It is a option, but well worth the money! Dual Mode Exhaust (NPP) also a option, again it provides all the value for your motor to breathe and sound unique when acceleration is warranted. Interior whether cloth or Leather spells comfy! Engine has Forged Internals to show longevity! Outside mirrors are oversized to see virtually everything behind you! Fuel economy is actually pretty good as well. The Manual transmission has skip shift which helps the fuel economy immensely. saves on clutch material. This vehicle weighs over 200 pounds lighter than previous generation! GM did a fantastic job designing the Camaro! This write-up is based on a 2SS fully loaded Camaro SS, however the Safety and Reliability is standard on all Camaros! I traded a 2015 Mustang GT for this baby! That alone says alot! And yes, the SS Camaro whether 1SS or 2SS will out handle the Mustang in cornering, and Acceleration, and Fuel Economy. that is why i traded for the Camaro!

It's everything I wanted and more

I have the 16 2.0L this car has blown away all expectations. I came from a WRX that I traded an FRS with, both were fairly heavily modified but a friend somehow convinced me to just go and test one. I'll tell you I was in love from the second we turned it on. NPP Dual exhaust has a nice sound that is good enough, but wont make the neighbors angry if you worry about that kind of thing. It handles a lot better than the WRX did and basically on par with the way my FRS did. The power is surprising it gets a lot to the ground very quickly, and is surprisingly stable at high speed. Interior is comfortable enough I am however smaller than the average person, however it still fits well for most of the larger people I have ran into. The ride is about what you would expect out of a performance car, but you feel everything in the road which for a car like that is good. 6 Speed MT is definitely fun, a good clutch that grabs really well, however at this point I just suggest going with the AT as I've ran it side by side many other 6th gens and the AT is absolutely just as fast if not faster sometimes. On top of it just being an absolute joy to drive it gets a lot of good looks and a lot of questions from people. It's a fantastic car that anyone could enjoy, unless you hate happiness, then this car is not for you.

A fun affordable performance car.

Excellent Convertible perforance car. Fast and fun. Only drawback is visibility when turning near curbs. And little rear leg room

Love my Camaro

I think the vehicle is okay as for the alignment needs to be done. I think it should have been done before I purchased it.

Love my new car

The Camero is exactly what I was looking for on my search for a new car. My Impala has treated me well and is now over 160K miles so it was time to look for something newer and reliable. I was comparing Mustangs and liked the few that I drove, but Chevy has never mistreated me. The feel of the ride and the rumble of the engine makes even the V6 not feel like a V6. The 4 cylinder turbo and V6 model Mustang left me feeling like "It's just NOT the same as a V8". You will not get this feeling in the Camero. And if you plan to spend the extra cash on the V8, it will be well worth it.

Well, it's fast

This car was awesome for a while, but then after a few months I realize how small it really is inside. It feels tight inside but what else do you expect, it is not designed to be roomy. I love how fast it is and you can blow past other people in an instant with the V8 version. I test drove the V6 version and the V8 is worth the extra cost. My 2016 SS currently has 10,900 miles and the average lifetime fuel economy is 19.5, so get ready to spend some gas money. I love my car!

Only flaw is rear vision

We rented a 2016 Camaro when we went to Las Vegas last summer, and it was a great car. The looks and performance were outstanding. The worst thing about it is as the driver, when you want to change lanes on the highway from the left lane to the middle, you can't see much of anything if you look over your shoulder, and the mirrors obviously have blind spots. For this reason, I won't buy a Camaro unless it has the Convenience and Lighting package which has lane change sensors. Outside of that, it was an amazing car!
