Current Gen6 Owners - Would you do it again? - Page 4

SPARTAN sui · 09-21-2016, 05:07 PM

I've had my Camaro since March, 4,700 miles, basically no issues. I've been driving it almost every day, it has been a great experience so far. I've taken it on two longer to trips to South Dakota (8 hours) and Minnesota (8 hours). I wouldn't change a single thing, I've been happy with every option.

Top down next time so I can enjoy it more in a sunny day!

Seahawkfrost · 09-21-2016, 06:21 PM

Only thing I would change is adding the rs package to my 1 LT.

Seriously love my car. I have to admit that the styling has me rather conflicted. I love the front end, but the car continues to nag at me from different angles as they seem weird and disproportionate. Visibility isn't really an issue; the fogging is a mild irritation to me that I can live with. The build quality on mine is great and at 3250 miles daily driven, the car remains tight and rattle-free. Where it really shines is how it handles and performs which is exactly why I bought it. Every time I push the button and hit the gas, I am reminded that the magic of the car lies in the LT1 and alpha platform. My only regret is buying it a little bit too soon as the discounts really started hitting about a month after I got mine in late June. The consolation is that similar color and optioned combo cars have been snapped up. Seems to me that the 2016 inventory that is left unsold are all cars that don't interest me anyway. Would I do it again? Most likely but I might be tempted to cough up a little more green and go with a stingray

Wow, what a response on here!

7 have marked 'no (other)' but I only saw one no response explained. I'd be curious to see why others wouldn't buy again, especially those under the 'other' category.

Mustang drivers, maybe salty 5th gen drivers.

20k miles turned and she pulls harder than ever. Only thing I'd different is dual mode exhaust. I'm taking road trip to San Antonio Tx this weekend and I can't wait!!

JonGSA · 09-22-2016, 11:51 AM

I marked No...but i love the Camaro. Here's my explanation.I kinda asked myself the question if I would buy ANOTHER camaro when its time to trade this one in when the lease is up. The answer was no because chances are I'll buying something different like a truck or maybe upgrade to a C7 if I wanted to stay in the family. But I'm also the kinda of person who likes to try different things. So maybe next ill try out the C63 AMG Benz I always liked, or a S4 or a Charger or maybe the new Supra.....etc etc etc.

Agreed! I had a rental with the dual mode exhaust and it was fantastic. I still love mine, but it's just so quiet, comparatively speaking

Interesting take. Thanks for sharing!

16 1LT Summit White 'vert with the 2.0 Turbo/6M. Would not change a thing. Driving all over Texas with the top down and a big stupid grin on my face. Took delivery and had two things to fix, which Classic Chevrolet did promptly and perfectly: blown rear speaker, and a paint chip over the license plate. I have 2k miles on it and can't wait to get in it and drive every day.

I have just over 2500km now about 16000 miles or so and have had one issue, the seat reclining. I drove it for a bit and then the seat worked its way loose and has been perfect ever since. The car performs like a dream, I drove from small town Saskatchewan to St. Louis IL to Denver and up through Yellowstone and the going to the sun highway and back home. Never had a glitch and even at 80moph still averaged around 28mpg. What more can you ask? Chev hit a homerun here imo

Hooves · 09-22-2016, 11:12 PM

I'm at just over 10000 miles in 7 months.

7 track days and 4 more in the next month!

I ran through the stock tires in ~8000 miles thanks to track work and replaced those with new wheels and 285/305 tires. Also just replaced my stock pads with EBC Yellow Stuff.

If I were to order now it'd be a 1LE or ZL1, but that will have to wait!

samsumon · 09-22-2016, 11:20 PM

I ACTUALLY was going to make a thread tonight.

I'm 26, bought my "dream" muscle car.. 2ss, manual. ONLY option I would have opted for is MAG RIDE, but I've yet to ride a car with it on, so I cant say i know what i'm missing out on.

Second thing I would have waited for, maybe a few more months to get a few more k's off the car..

I've had a shit ton of problems with my car, but it's been a blast every single time I get in. I genuinely cant put it into words. GM paid for a month of my note, and $2500 in accessories.

But i would prefer to have either 0% APR or lower initial cost. Regardless, STILL the only 2ss in gray i've seen in Tampa, FL.
