The styling of the grille, for me, is just bad. It's elongated hexagon style looks very cheap and out-of-place on the rest of the car. I would have preferred a much more traditional style.

If I bought a convertible I would regret not being able to track it without adding a roll bar.

The one thing I can't stand is the low profile runflat 20's that come on this car. I'm sure it depends on where you live, how you like to drive, etc...but here in Michigan the roads suck, and so does ability to handle.bumps in this car. Obviously this has nothing to do with the car itself, but I will definitely be going with a good quality non runflat after these are done.

What's not to like, great looks plenty of compliments and holding its resale value exceptionally high. And as far as the electronic brake goes i love it, so much better then pulling up on a parking brake handle where you don't have to worry having the brake cable adjusted and the push to release brake pedal.

What made me almost not buy my 2016 was this BMW M2 that I saw at the Chicago Auto Show. In the end, the 2SS was a significantly better value and much more comfortable.

I love the Alpha Camaro and keep come back to it (have owned three). It’s like a comfortable pair of jeans that fit perfect.

Nothing yet. Just a ticked that the 1LE hood wrap was FD up and dealer is gonna fix it. Just dragging their feet. I refuse to drive until its fixed so they don't try to blame me. Picked it up with 12 miles on it. Drove it home. Then drove it back to the dealer and to get shit squared away and drove it home.

Over 2 weeks old and 22 miles.

Curbs are hard to see.
Visibility when taking a left out of a parking lot into traffic is a bit rough.
Skip shift
Overall 9/10

The only thing I hate is the electronic park brake. That damn thing is so ****ing annoying and slow. If I'm ever being chased by Jason through the woods, I'm definitely going to die waiting for the parking brake to release.

Don’t have mine yet, but some things I expect will annoy me at times:

- summer-only tires. Just doesn’t make sense in MN. An option for all-season tires would have been nice. Trying to work with my dealer to see if they’ll swap them for me.
- 1-4 skip shift, but plan to buy and install the eliminator.
- back seat leg room. At times I think it would be nice to take my college aged kids, or another couple for a drive. At least with a convertible headroom won’t be an issue, but leg room likely will be.
- trunk opening/size. But we’ll just pack in soft duffle bags instead of suitcases for weekend getaways.
- front row storage - for wallet, phone, etc. Nowhere to put a water bottle if my wife and I also each have a coffee.
- no home link. Wish they would have dropped the onstar buttons instead. Yes, I’ll buy a mini-remote and tuck it under the steering wheel or clip to the visor. But I shouldn’t have to in a $50K car.

Just think how much you've saved in maintenance and repairs since you went with the Camaro.



AFM is one problem but the Range eliminates that.

I know that's a common sentiment, but I've had 2 BMWs, one for 4 years and one for 3, and never paid an additional penny for maintenance or repairs outside of a single oil change on the one I had longer. Regularly scheduled maintenance for 3 years is included in the MSRP, and I never had any issues with either car. Didn't even have to buy tires.

I will agree that if you do have to pay, they can be pricey - but it's not an automatic guarantee that you will have to pay any more than any other car.

As for the OP's question - since I don't have mine yet, the only thing I can say is: the wait time for an ordered car currently sucks, and if I was looking for a daily driver I'd have given up and bought something else already.
