Some of the cars I've owned have been better than others. This one isn't too bad.

I really hate it on my motorcycle. Especially if I'm on an exit ramp and the wind is hitting me from different angles as I'm leaned over and traversing the ramp.

I agree with this. I drove from MI to TN a couple weeks ago and it was super windy the whole way... I have very high profile 235mm snow tires on my car and could def tell a big difference in how much I was pushed around in the wind compared to having my normal 245 low profile all seasons.

But weight must have something to do with it. If a Camaro weighed 5000 lbs vs 3700 lbs, it probably wouldn't move around as much. However, like you said, bc the car has such a low profile, there isn't much surface area for the wind to push against when it's blowing at you from the side and that certainly helps.

This happened to me yesterday. My 2015 malibu is getting worked on so i took the 2016 camaro v6 auto rs on my 156 ( 78 each way ) mile mostly highway commute to work. The drive to work was windy but the camaro seemed to knife right thru it. The drive home was a different story. The car was being blown hard and for awhile the steering seemed to not want to go straight. Left correction right correction over an over. I had it in tour mode. Kind of scary...... The last 30 miles is 55 mph and it was still moving back and forth. I changed to sport mode and it seemed to help. I think my steering needs to be reprogramed or something. I cant recall my other cars doing anything close to that in the 17 years ive been driving this commute.
