Lol the thread asked what they didn't like about it? If I thought it was a deal stopper I wouldn't of bought it?

No one says everyone but you certainly could have designed it to satisfy more.

For example is ther a reason why they couldn't have given the Camaro the same trunk space and lift over height of the ATS coupe? May have cost a small bit of rigidity but the rchitecture enables it.

Could they have made thebelt an inch lower and the roof a 1/2 taller and still had a great looking car with better visibility? Yep

They fell in love with what design staff has done for years on EVERY design.....slammed roof, high belt and giant wheels. Looks awesome on paper and excites a group of people. But it is a smaller group of people.

The failure is thinking GM could not have added a few inches here and ther and still had an awesome looking car. They could have but chipose not to.

By accepting a smaller trunk, less rear seat room and worse visibility than the Mustang they reduced the number of potential customers regardless of the STUNING performance advantage the Camaro has until 2018 where the Mustang will have a bigger trunk, better visibility and a better rear seat AND equal performance to the Camaro, assuming GM doesn't have a 30 HP bump of their own.

I REALLY like that it reverts back......my wife don't need to drive it in track mode......is it really that hard to push a button twice?....lol

I wish it had sensors on the front....uncomfortable with these parking lot curbs/concrete stops.

I see a lot of people saying they hate how the car goes back to tour mode when they turn it off.. I haven't ever had mine do that. If I shut it off in Sport it stays there or Tour, or whatever. Software needing updated maybe?

I am not sure, but I think if you go into settings through the touch screen, you might be able to change that?....if it stays in tour mode or last mode you drove?...anyone know?....I may investigate....

If your car is in Track when you turn it off, it will be in Sport when you turn it on.
If your car is in Sport when you turn it off, it will be in Sport when you turn it on.
If your car is in Tour when you turn it off, it will be in Tour when you turn it on.
If your car is in Snow when you turn it off, it will be in Tour when you turn it on.

It's a feature not a bug.

I've only had the car a couple of weeks and love it, but the one thing that I don't like is the Easy Exit. Great idea, just not implemented the way I think it should be. I'm only 5'7" so I have the seat up fairly close for the clutch pedal. I put the seat all the way back for the easy exit and its great, nice and easy to get out. But when you get back in and close the door, nothing happens, the seat doesn't return to the driving position until you start the car, which I can't do because I can't get the clutch all the way to the floor. I know I could hit #1 and get the seat back, but I think it should move when the door is closed.

I agree, turned it on.....then after 1 day went back to settings and turned it off.

Same with the reverse mirrors feature because the mirrors went back to a different "original" position after taking it out of reverse.

All of these "features" we are complaining about are probably explained in the manual....which I have not even taken out of the plastic yet....lol
