List of Camaro downsides that matter and don't matter.

TONS of 2016 Camaro SS reviews on the internet from people who drive it for a day and then tell you what they like and dislike about the car. This is my list of the most common dislikes that actually don't really bother me that much after owning the car for 6 months now. Hopefully this really helps some people when buying.
1.Rear Seat Space
2.Wireless charging pad
3. Drivers seat space
4. "plasticy" interior
5. Trunk space
6. Gas mileage

I will also be making a follow up video about the downsides that actually DO matter. I would love some help on your guys' list of bad things that dont bother you that much and bad things that really DO suck!

It would be nice to have a list of things for buyers to show what really matters and what isn't a big deal.

Some items I actually dislike are the visibility, the skip shift, the terrible vented seats, etc...

Thanks! I feel like there are a lot of misleading "reviews" that talk about drawbacks, but for people who own these, they don't matter at all!

I meant more rear visibility than anything. The sensors are annoying as **** and way too sensitive

Only thing for me is STORAGE.

There is no place to put things EXCEPT the center console.

It would be nice to have some more storage.........

Storage (map pockets in the doors are a joke) and the "knee pads" are just leather over hard plastic. Need to get some memory foam padding in there.

There is nowhere in this car to fit a 1911!

Other than that, it's perfect.

Yup. Lack of interior storage on the doors is the biggest complaint here. Also wish the hard plastics were a little softer like something found in a VW GTI. Aside from that, car fits the need for a performance car perfectly.

YES I was going to do storage on my follow up video as well. Thats another reason why I use that cell phone mount.

Just duct tape a temperpedic pillow.

Seriously. Storage is hilariously awful. That center console can barely hold anything. Not sure what the door pockets are for cause I've yet to find anything that would fit.

I wish they would have ditched that worthless charging pad and made the center console usable.

Trunk space is decent but the opening has made me put anything I actually wanted in the trunk in the back seat instead.



Regardless. I love this car. It wouldn't be a true performance car without quirky things that make no sense.

I have solved the issue of lack of storage space for the 6th gen Camaro:

The backseats aren't backseats they are shelves to store stuff. Think about it: they are within my arms reach if I want to get something from back there.
