Used 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Consumer Reviews
Sold My C6 Corvette to buy it and I LOVE IT
I had a manual 2008 C6 and was looking for a more comfortable daily driver. I have had it for almost 3 yrs/21k miles now. The diff went out at 10k miles and took two visits to convince them it needs a replacement. My brake rotors went out at 19k miles, and the car was shaking on brake at highway speed. I don't race it but I live in a hilly area and brake hard. They replaced the rotors on 4 corners. My long term reliability concern is the A8 transmission. It shifts so hard sometimes, and occasionally it gets confused about which gear it should be in at lower speeds. I love the car and would buy it again. The issues are expected for an early production car and I got into it knowingly.

Love the Camaro
Great gas mileage for a Camaro but have to decide if it's worth the trade off with the V6 for price, but very satisfied with the 4cyl Turbo.

Awesome
I love this car. Mine is a 1LT with the LGX V6 auto. The engine is great! 335 HP from a small V6. My personal best is a 5.0 second 0-60 using the built-in performance timer. So much faster than my previous 3 series BMW, and handles almost as well at half the price. The V6 is the only engine choice that uses regular gas, and on my 150 mile per day mostly freeway commute, I consistently get over 30 mpg. It's my daily driver, and I have almost 20K miles on it. It drives like new, and has been very reliable. Some people complain about the visibility, but I haven't had any problems. The backup camera and mirrors help. The only negative thing about the visibility is that it's hard to see the edges. I'm not wild about Apple CarPlay, but that's not a reflection on the car. If I was picking options, I'd get the NPP Dual Mode Exhaust, but I bought my car off the lot at the end of the model year, so I couldn't do that. All in all, it's a wonderful car, and I'm keeping it forever. Um, unless I trade it on a new SS - but then I'd have to use premium gas...

I don't like driving anything else
Before you buy this car, know that you are not getting good gas mileage, know that you are not getting any passengers of any size in and out of the backseat easily, know that everything maintenance wise is potentially costly. With that out of the way I love my Camaro, I was semi prepared for all the drawbacks of owning this vehicle, but I would still buy it knowing all the drawbacks. I have a 6 speed manual, and it has GM's skip shift technology which makes you shift from 1st to 4th when you take off traveling less than 21 MPH (to save gas). I try to go faster than that because I don't like skip shift and there is no way (yet) to disable it. There is a blind spot due to the design of the car, but with the lane change assist in the side view mirrors and the backup camera that about makes up for it. This car moves when you hit the gas, it sounds mean and commands respek (yes I know I spelled that wrong). I feel like a whole different person while driving my Camaro, I become one with the car. I got an awesome deal when I bought it as it was the end of the month and only one 2016 left on the lot, they offered that one at 20% off. I jumped on that because I was only looking for a 1SS so I got the 2SS for less. I plan to keep this car forever, my 14 year old son is hoping he will be driving it in two years when he's old enough, I don't know we'll see, but yeah this is the best car purchase for me in my 43 years.
