Current Gen6 Owners - Would you do it again? - Page 2

Yes and waiting for Gen 7.

6200 miles in and the only thing I'd change is buying it sooner. Only option I didn't get was MRC, and I drove one with it...don't regret not getting it for a second. Really did not feel any difference, and I'll never push the car hard enough for that to be make or break around a corner.

LT4Greg · 09-20-2016, 11:32 AM

Satisfied with my '16 and it's options. Almost like it was built for me without me placing a special order! Wish a ZL1 was in my budget though! Maybe pick up a used one in a few years that hasn't been abused and modded.

Sparkgap · 09-20-2016, 11:39 AM

5000 miles and no problems. Wouldn't change a thing. Love the car!

greg72982 · 09-20-2016, 11:45 AM

I put "yes and I wouldn't a change a thing."

The only thing I would have maybe done different is bought from a lot and not ordered. I'm still not sure either way on that. Wasn't a huge fan of the ordering process but I did like getting it the way I wanted. That's not a bash on the car itself though.

Wow, over 70 responses since this morning! And looking like approx. 95% are in the 'yes' category with only approx. 5% in the 'no' category.

I think it's great to see over 80% say they wouldn't change a thing if they could do it again. I was expecting the 'yes' category to be more varied. This would be a fun poll to see across the Mustang and Challenger forums too.

It is nice to see a thread like this that gives a voice to those that haven't had any major issues, as the internet in general is good for making the 'loud minority' seem like the majority.

In fairness, I guess it just isn't practical to have a majority of people log on and post "I have had my car for 6 months and have had no issues!"

Given that model-specific forums are a place people come looking for help or to question something, that's what a large amount of the posts are: problems. I had been thinking about this and wanted to see how the active members here really stack up, compared to the number of problem threads.

And to be fair, people started getting their hands on gen6 Camaros, what, late 2015? So nobody can claim ownership of more than a year

My next Camaro is going to be a 1LE. I planned it out this way to "save" some money for a few years so that when my lease is up I can upgrade to the 1LE.

Ive had one "real" issue with the fan module on my car. Not even worrying about problems on my next one.

Drags1998 · 09-20-2016, 03:32 PM

Wouldn't change a thing, The only problem I've had was My antenna for AM,FM came lose and the Dealer had to PLUG it back in, THATS IT!!!!! LOVE this car!!!

Maiden Rush · 09-20-2016, 03:36 PM

Yes I would do it again...in a heartbeat and over and over.
I have owned and rented many cars and the 2017 SS is the best machine I have ever driven that costs under 50k.

I had an '03 BMW Z4 2.2l straight 6. That comes close.

Did the turn signals work?

Lol. Yeah I used them too. This was while I was in Germany. I miss the autobahn.

Bradl1982 · 09-20-2016, 06:06 PM

I probably would but I would have definitely shopped around. I have the windshield fogging issue also which is extremely annoying and a lot of rattles in the interior. It's a shame because everything else with the car has been awesome.
