+1 Best car I've ever owned and its loaded with RPO and LPO options.

I just turned 6000 miles. No problems or dealer visits

Third Camaro I've purchased in the past seven years and by far the best. Refined is the word that comes to my mind compared to my previous two Gen 5s. Would do it again and not change a thing.

- center console awkward/too small

- no storage areas for phone, etc

I continue to marvel at the complaints about the windshield fogging issue. I agree that the design is faulty, and it shouldn't fog as easily ad it does... So I rolled up a thin gray hand towel and pushed it up against the base of the windshield. It doesn't block the vents--it just redirects the air flow away from the glass a bit. Problem solved! No fogging AT ALL now!

I'd buy again and wouldn't change a thing!

I'd buy a 2ss like I have "BUT" I'd not order it from the factory. After the constraints I didn't end up with the car I actually ordered..... Next time I'd just find what I wanted or close to it off a lot

The only thing I would change about this car is go with Hyper Blue over BVM.

Love the purchase so far (6k miles)

But for the price we are paying, if rolling up a towel takes care of the problem, then why can't GM also spend that little amount of time & money and design it so it doesn't do this? A rolled up towel or anything else "stuffed" up there looks like crap on the dash, IMO.

It's my first eve Camaro and I would do buy it again. Coming from a corolla to this is worlds apart. Never going back haha Although, I've always wanted a Miata so it's going to be hard driving a camaro then a miata

It has been a pretty positive experience having a 6 Gen Camaro, way more car than my last Camaro - 2000 SLP SS (which i loved). I absolutely love driving it although I do have issues like the fog with AC, rear diff noise that is getting better and some orange peel in the paint. I bought mine in April after getting bait and switched on a 14 1LE. My 16 1SS was by far the cheapest I could find and the color I wanted but it was a bit of an impulse purchase. A horrible dealer experience where they got back most of that discount one way or another is my biggest regret. I've been on the fence on aftermarket parts and doing things to make the car my own but have decided to sell it this spring. If I decide to stay with a sports car it will be a 1LE being thats what I've wanted for years. I will never spend this kind of money again unless its exactly what I want, I'm more OCD than most. So the question for me still remains to be known if i'd do it again. Guess i'll see in a few months.

No cause I bought a demo , didn't know about the 1500 mile break in and the car shifts like shit ,and sounds like the tires are rubbing at the rear when you turn a corner

Same here, love the car - it still makes me smile every time I start it

Intimidator · 12-01-2016, 08:41 PM

Yes...I Love the 6th Gen enough to buy the A10 ZL1.

OddJack · 12-01-2016, 09:26 PM

If you look closely at the poll, you could see that almost half of the voters are not happy.

%19 say they have had issues but still love it. Oh sure, you love the looks, but it has to be better than that.

Then add up all that say No, you are almost there.

This is really disappointing results on a poll that is mostly from people who bought new.

marrow · 12-01-2016, 09:52 PM

I think my only regret at this point would not be getting the fifty anniversary package. Did not want to make payments on a car priced to 50k at the time
