Weird ergonomics of Camaro interior? - Page 2

bsimms89 · 03-14-2018, 01:39 PM

I agree that the window buttons are in a weird place. When I'm in the staging lanes in the COPO its tricky to pull my elbow back enough and reach over the bar from the roll cage to close it, but I can see it just being awkward in regular everyday use as well. But I can't complain as this is the first race car I've ever driven with power windows

can't beat being able to just hit a button and put down both windows and get a breeze while waiting in the staging lanes.

Don't forget this knee buster. I rent the 6th Gen from time to time for work.

Took awhile to get used to the window controls. Only so much room to work with, so many dials, gadgets and buttons than there is space for. But as we know the camaro Focuses on performance as priority 1.

Ever see someone trying to get out of a Lamborghini? It's comical.

Except I think Lambos are some of the ugliest cars imaginable. But to each their own.

That's what the replaceable knee bolsters are for. Feels good in leather or the suede.

So you can knock it out of gear when you go to grab your drink (or your clumsy passenger at the least.) No thanks, cupholders are positioned perfectly IMO.

Definitely agree with the ATM issue. Can become quite embarrassing with someone waiting behind lmao.

But the rear seats do make the car slightly cheaper to insure I believe, since it's not a "2-seater" sports car like a 'vette and such.

Agreed on all of it!

Something I would add to the list is the low positioning of the volume and fav up/down controls on the steering wheel. Even with hands at 3 and 9, you have to reach way down to hit either pair of buttons. I'd probably get used to it easier if I didn't also have a Chevy Silverado with the same basic layout on the front of the steering wheel, but with much smaller volume and fav up/down buttons on the back.

I thought it was just me because I am super short, but I guess not.

i know the solution...unfortunately they all cost well north of $100K

Only issue I've had was unintentionally hitting the drive mode selector.

Lerch98 · 03-14-2018, 07:14 PM

I don't like to mode selection switch were it is. Once in a while it get bumped (shifting?) and switches modes.
I would like to see that switch in the dash, like above the start button on in the center stack.

Yeah ok. I find the interiors on Hondas pretty terrible and overrated
