Used 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe Consumer Reviews

Take it from a pro!

I own an auto service/repair facility and have been in the industry for over 20 years. When the Camaro's concept was shown over 10 years ago, I said that if the production Camaro stays true to the concept, this will become one of the hottest selling sports cars on the road. The V6 is more than enough power, but in hot, humid areas like Georgia, it doesn't reach its full potential. Not to worry: when the oxygen rich cool weather comes, the engine will come to life...be aware! The chassis is very heavy which does hurt the power, but the trade for safety is worth it. I've read complaints about traction, and I don't get it. Sure, this thing isn't designed for ice skating, but the GM Traction Control system has been perfected and is reliable. Compared to its predecessor models from the '80's and '90's, the traction on this car is excellent. GM didn't go cheap on the brakes on any models. Four-wheel disc brakes with very good response makes even the base models awesome. They didn't go cheap on the base model's exhaust design either. It has true dual exhaust complete with individyal catalytic converters on each bank. Thetransmission is huge with a bell housing nearly as big as the Tahoe. They worked the bugs out of the new design that came with the 2010's. Chevy needs to stop with the body changes; the design is awesome - no need for modifications. If you buy the LS as I did, installing afyermarket fog lamps are easy. I installed mine in about an hour. Yes, there is a blind spot! The 3.6L is very solidly built. USE FULL SYNTHETIC! A high torque V6 like this has high oil consumption. I have the base model entertainment system which is ample since I have XM Radio. Here's the best part of owning the model with the 3.6L: beyond the excellent fuel mileage, the Camaro holds its resale value very, very well. So, if you are like me and plan to move up to the V8 on the next one, as long as you take care of the V6 model, your trade-in value will be excellent!

High geared 2LT RS

You should know this car with the 6 cylinder is to be driven with careful aggression to provide the performance. It is very torquey and fast when shifted to lower gears and high RPM level. With space it will generally control its domain over other vehicles on the road and it steers and brakes very well. In traffic you need to take care with the blind spot being ferocious on 3-4 lane road 1 lane over. In slower heavy traffic the 6 cylinder tends to transition meekly in auto or too aggressively when downshifted with paddle and changing lanes (a steady medium is hard to find when passing slow vehicles that are typically geared better for commuting at rush hour). But all of that becomes your risk..... and once you learn this you can drive the Camaro V6 to its maximum and eat up the road. In regard to interiors. The 2LT RS with leather and heads up display, navigation, onstar, electric seats etc. is simply another car apart from the base camaro. The interior is absolutely awesome and has much room up front for large adults with legs (more than the average mid-size sedan) . It is a 2 adult car and the family dogs easily fit in back over a padded cover.

2015 Camaro SS 2SS

convertible in paradise

Rented a convertible in hawaii that had 16 miles on it. V6 had good power at speed but really i mean really struggled to do a burnout in 1st with traction off. Back seat mostly was for gymnasts only. Looked very cool everywhere. Navigation was the worst ive ever dealt with. Incredibly the controls for it and stereo, heat made it very frustrating. Used phone instead and tried to stay away from the buttons. How hard is it to have useable technology. My 10 yeard old tom tom is better. That is embarassing just being from the country that designed it. Ugh chevy

CRAPPY RADIO

bought the car new June 2015. As of April 2020 only 25,000 miles. the radio has stopped working. the dealer is charging $650 to install a re-manufactured simple am/fm/cd radio w/blue tooth and SiriusXM. to unplug the old factory standard radio, and plug in the "new radio" will cost $300 for labor because the radio has to be "programmed". The radio cost $350. With tax the cost is $700. I went to a radio retailer and they would have charge $345 for the same radio, BUT, they said the couldn't "program'' it. So I had to get ripped off by a Chevy dealer. If you go to YouTube, you will see that Chevy has had many problems with the 5th generation radio's, but wouldn't replace them at GM's expense.
