Reminds me of when I first test drove an SS locally (to see if I could even tolerate the car haha), before making the trek to purchase mine. I asked the salesman how many people put car seats in these cars - the look on his face was priceless . I was originally wanting to get a C7 but the wife said no . We eventually settled on the possibility of the Camaro since there is a "back seat" if there is a baby in the near future. |

Farthest I have gone was about 300 miles round trip, so far. Perfectly comfortable, with my only 'gripe' being the road noise given the tire/wheel setup. But aside from that, it was great. Would do longer no problem.

Windows down and/or Borla dissipate most of that for me. I also test drove a C7 and tire/road noise was noticeably worse

LOL... when the wife and I went to test drive mine I asked the salesman if he was coming with us. He looked at me, looked at the backseat, and said, "No, I'm good!".

I would also say that the exhaust noise if much more prevalent in the C7 than the Camaro. However, if you think about the differences of the cars..it is logical. The C7 you are almost sitting above the rear wheels and there is not much separation, whereas the Camaro you have an entire back seat, it's enclosed, etc.

I've done up to 17 hours in a 5th or 6th gen straight through. They're both very comfortable for the ride. I've had a number of rental cars that I couldn't move after a marathon 12-14hr drive. I'd taken my 5th gen from TN to MA, TN to east TX, TN to Orlando, Orlando to VA and back to TN, among others. My 6 has been from TN to MA maybe a half dozen times and it's just as comfy as the Gen5 was, albeit a bit more snug. I was pleasantly surprised by both.
My 5th gen was a 2010 LT, got around 27mpg on the trip. My '17 SS has topped out at 31mpg (according to the display) with a 70mph average over a 500-600 mile stretch on I81 N.

I drive my SS from Michigan to SW Florida every year. Its a really great road car, just a little tough at the end of the day getting out of it....I am 65......never thought I'd say that.

my daughter has spent almost her entire life in 2 door cars. had an impala for about a year, age 0-1. then it was in and out of a 99 ws6 and various other 2 door stuff. toyotas, xjs, pick up trucks. in a cpl years she'll be driving, then i don't have to worry about it. when we do car stuff she can have her own car. my next one will be a c6z. currently trying to decide if i need a 2 dr bronco or not, the old xj is getting long in the tooth.
