Is a great car all the way around.
I like everything about the Camaro the way it drive the look is stand the sport look and I drive a lot and is a good car on. Gas too.

I would say it is fast, smooth, amazing car for a couple with no kids.
My car is beautiful. She runs very smooth. I keep up with oil changes and filters. She is fast and very reliable. I've had this vehicle for almost four years now and it has not had any major issues. My car cleans up nice and the seats and carpet are easy to clean. I have a lot of room up from. This car is not made for a family. There is barely any backseat to it. The only other thing that is a downfall for this vehicle is the fact that the front tires are one size and the back tires are bigger. So you can't rotate them. You have to buy all new when the time comes to get tires.

Great ride and bigger than you think.
I have loved my camaro since I bought it. Honestly the only problem I have had is the blind spots. I am a shorter person so sometimes it can be challenging. Rides great gas mileage isn't too bad. I have even gotten 2 car seats in the backseat and still been comfortable.

2013 Chevrolet Camaro convertible.
Vehicle drives very nice. Brakes are noisy after a few days of rain though due to rust on the rotors. I love the color blue ray metallic. In the sun you can see hues of blue purple silvery flake. Beautiful. I get quite a few compliments whenever I go anywhere.

If you do not know how to drive a fast car, a Camaro is not for you.
I love it so much. It drives so smoothly and it looks so nice. It is a 2013 but I love it. It is so fast and it is a gas saver.

It is very big and easy to use. The air is cool and travels everywhere.
It is very comfortable and drives smoothly. The seats are easily adjustable. It is a big nice family car. It locks and unlocks very easily. Air conditioning travels smoothly throughout the car. It has many cup holders and is very easy to clean up. I would recommend this car to anyone.

One feature is the color. It is a beautiful dark blue with specks of glitter in it.
My vehicle which is a Chevy Camaro runs great, sounds greats, and is fast. The low seats bring great comfort and easy driving. The only problem I have had is with the radio it tends to mess up sometimes but not to often. The trunk is surprisingly big and can hold a lot.

Negative Owner Reviews

It is orange and has nice tinted windows.
It is not a practical car to have. The doors swing out too easily, potentially hitting other cars and the tires and oil are expensive. It has a wide base and sits low, leaving it open for blind spots and getting hit by other cars or objects. The only positive is that it goes fast.
accountCircle Nefatic B
Very pretty car with a lot of space good for family trips.
My vehicle is silver it is a 2009 Malibu it had black interior drives pretty well needs a little outside work. A lot of space with big trunk. Good for taking trips. Looks nice inside. 140 thousand miles. It's a nice car I would like a new really wanting a jeep. It is a good family car with needed space and black interior so no visible stains or anything like that.

Beware of AC blend door breaking
The blend door broke on the AC. Car has only 20300 miles and is a 2013 custom built convertible so out of warranty. Cost to repair is thousands of dollars. Why? The heads up display windshield has to be removed to pull the AC out to get to the blend door. Upon research online, seems a lot of people across the US are dealing with the same issue. Chevy needs to absorb the cost of replacing a perfectly good windshield due to their lack of sense in designing a car. The windshield should not have to be removed for any reason other then a crack or break. Unfair to place this cost on the consumer. This windshield is not cheap either due to the heads up display. Anywhere from 600 to over 1000$. I would not have purchased the vehicle if I had of known it was designed this way.

Beware of broken blend door!
Car is 7 years old and only has 20300 miles. Blend door broke in ac unit. Front windshield has to be removed to repair. Chevy won't cover the cost of new heads up display windshield which is expensive. Design flaw on their part. Consumer money trap. Should be disclosed to the buyer before they sell it. Car is great otherwise.
accountCircle Amanda G
It has dual transmission, and they should learn how to use paddle shifters.
Love the ease of acceleration. Don't like the blind spots and lack of back-up camera. It has generous truck space, but puny side mirrors.
accountCircle Donna L
Hot wheels logos make the car distinctive and lets grownups live out a fantasy.
The car ride is smooth enough and the heated seats are very comfortable but the ride is not as comfortable for those in the back seat. Back seaters have little leg room and no windows that open. The car is very reliable but due to the tires, we do not drive in the snow.
accountCircle Nicole W
It is a fun and reliable car.
This vehicle performs really well. I love how it drives. Accelerates and brakes very well. The interior looks very nice. However, I am not a fan of how many blind spots this car has and how low it sits on the ground. But overall, it is a reliable, fun car to drive.
accountCircle Jordan R
Great weekend car but for anything else it is not ways.
I used to love my car, but over the years I have realized it is not functional when moving, growing, seeing in reverse. Period. It is gotten me where I have needed to go but I did have to get a whole new engine in it. Great car for a two people but anymore and everyone is squished.

This car make driving in countryside feel like freedom.
Car is awesome, very great safety features and the technology in the car is a bonus. Very sleek look and very fast. Only problem is you’ll get to your destinations too fast while you are cruising.

Drivers point of view of a camaro.
The Chevrolet camaro consistently drives very smooth and is a fun car when it comes to acceleration and handling ability. The wear and tear happens at a normal rate with quite a comfortable interior for 1-2 people. Trunk space is adequate for a car in its class and it has minimal blind spots as a driver which enhances the safety of driving it.

likeFilled Ruth T.

Looks great on the road. Fun to drive both in town and on the highway. Good gas mileage, better than my last car. Great options. Dependable. Like that it is American made. Easy to maintain and get parts for.

likeFilled Sebastian M.

Leather interior on front and back, Bluetooth phone/ radio so I can listen to my music thru my phone, heated seat on the front seats, heads up display just in front of the driver which also gives turn by turn direction, GPS, body of the camaro looks lean and mean, sounds great, tinted windows.

likeFilled Donna L.

This was a limited edition car with a distinctive and sporty look. The blue color makes the car look classic. The ride is relatively smooth. The heated seats were another bonus. The gas mileage is also decent.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Karen E.

Cons of the vehicle is no Bluetooth, cloth seats, small interior in the back, no back up camera, rear view mirror is small, blind spots within the car and you need to be very careful with changing lanes and backing up.

dislikeFilled Jeffrey S.

Sits very low to in the front sometimes if you do not pay attention you can scrape the front spoiler. Hard to get in and out of, not much space in the trunk no room in the back seats, two different size tires makes it for a higher cost.

dislikeFilled Ruth T.

Visibility from drivers seat is pretty limited. Low front end clearances easily runs up on parking blocks. Load road noise, while the car is wonderful It is very loud inside. Stock radio has issues that dealership are unaware of.

dislikeFilled Sebastian M.

The camaro show is interesting its wider in the back than it is in the front. It's just takes some getting used to. The car has a light sensor on the front. I would prefer if the led lights turned on only at night and not have two small lights light up all day in the front.

dislikeFilled Donna L.

The two door and small back seats are a con. When the driver or front seat passenger move their seats back, the people in the back seat have no leg more. Also not having back windows that open is a big con.

It’s a very reliable car as long as you take care of it. Get your oil changes on time and do a engine flush every now and again. Carbon build up will occur if you don't. I would recommend using 89 gas... Read More
