Things you like/things you hate about your Camaro

[Ryanbabz71]

In 20 yrs of driving I have yet to use a sun visor

After driving a 2015 a few wks ago I hate my rear view mirror and love the frameless mirror. I could change this out on my 2012 but I also need to upgrade to mylink

I know what you mean! I bought my 2010 Camaro when I was 24 and after owning it for a year I bought my 2014 and the jelly is heavy with everyone that sees a 25 year old in a good looking SS!

So I am listing these to film.

But the hate column is bigger than the love!!!

Post some stuff you love too! lol

Things to love.

- Permagrin. Just the coolest look.

- Basically I am driving the same car that appeared as a prototype in a movie. Usually the car that gets built is a mere shadow of the prototype.

- I have never in my 40 plus years of driving had people I don't know walk up to me to tell me what a great looking car I have. It is certainly an ego trip.

- The wheels. I have the 20" polished rims and I love them.

- The heads-up display. Such an impressive technology in a 2011 car.

- 300-plus horsepower AND good gas mileage in the V6. Basically I get the same MPG as my friend's Accord.

I've never owned a vehicle that made me smile by walking up to it, like my Camaro does. There is this weird love I have towards it and my fiancé hates it, but she said she will never let me get rid of the car, so I think I'm safe.

I just about pull the thing apart when I look at vehicles, especially when I'm spending more than $30,000. I check everything, that way the complaints I have are minimal. And even then, the complaints I do have like rusty rotors are a cheap fix, and don't bother me.

Dude, relax. The question is things we hate and love. We answered him. Does that mean the car is not worth owning, obviously not. No one is going to like everything about a car. There are always going to be things you dont like in any car you buy. We are just commenting on it since he asked.

Dislike:

How heavy the car feels, but everything is like that these days seems like.

The 1-2 shift

Trunk opening

stock audio system

How common Camaros are. I don't like seeing my car's twin at every other intersection.

I dislike that mine is black

Like:
Power/looks/sound (even stock)

No ones worked up, I'm just commenting. All the gripes so far besides some unavoidable (weight, stuff like that) could have been weeded out during a test drive

I will be making the videos 1 for good 1 for bad in the next week or so.

[Hurst]

Hates:
- The Sun visors are a joke. I mean really...
- That the Ambient Light doesn't go across the dash.
- HUGE Mufflers.... and not enough "Muscle Sound".

Love:
- The Handling.
- The way it shimmies and shakes at a stop light like an old school muscle car...
- The retro'ish Look...

[SR71]

Likes:
- Fantastic car design
- Fun to drive
- Love the V8 power and sound

Dislikes:
- Paint quality
- Too heavy
- Variety of mods is okay but no where near as good as some other cars. Coming from a 350z where there are seemingly endless body kits and mods the Camaro market seem...lacking.

You Can't Always Get What You want…: https://youtu.be/j7leQB_Oe_k

what I dislike first:

1) if I press the phone button on the steering wheel to place a call, why does the bossy infotainment biotch come on the sound system and tell me that I must turn the radio on first. Why not have the phone button just turn on the freakin' radio for you?
2) nowhere in the owners manual is it stated that your phone must be plugged into the USB port for the infotainment systems Pandora App to work. But you don't need the stupid App anyway since Pandora still works via Bluetooth, although a little limited.
3) the Navigation system is very frustrating. If the address isn't in the database, there is no way to input a latitude and longitude to get you close enough. There is a Bluetooth connection with your phone, the nav system should be able to access an off board database to get the information it needs. I end up using Google Maps for more destinations than I use the nav system, and Google Maps gives me turn-by-turn voice commands over the sound system.
4) I hate that bossy infotainment blotch, always butting in. You are trying to give voice commands, and she keeps griping at you to wait for the beep before giving commands. She's worse that bitchin' Betty on the F-35.
5) movie theater App is not really needed.
6) I'd like to see more useful Apps like vehicle diagnostics, weather radar, vehicle performance, vehicle management, camera control, situational display, etc.
7) I'd like the infotainment display to blank/turn off when not in use.
8) I'd like the nav system to allow user input if the passenger airbag is on. This way you can have your passenger manually input destinations.
9) The fuel App is OK, but it needs to be modified to be more like the Gas Buddy App on my phone.
10). The Fuel App and Movie App won't work after your Sirus XM subscription expires. These need to work in conjunction with Apps on your phone.

Basically, the infotainment system has a lot of room for improvement.

What I do like:
1) when the Navigation System does have the destination, I like the directional cues displayed in the HUD.
2) I really like the gauge layout of my 2SS
3) I really like the HUD.
4) I really like the interior with the blue leather seating surfaces, blue door panels with the blue ambient lighting.
5) since I'm used to really small and cramped cockpits, I feel the interior fits me very well.
6) I like the instant kick in the pants when I put the throttle to the floor.
7) I love the exterior styling of my 2014 2SS with the RS package and polished aluminum wheels. Very aggressive looking.
8) And most important of all, My wife likes going everywhere in it with me.
