Which Camaro does Edmunds recommend?
You can't go wrong here. A V6 Camaro with the 1LE package is one of the best performance deals on the market; even the four-cylinder is made fun by the 1LE package. But we say the Camaro is still at its best with a V8 rumbling under the hood. We do like the larger, 8-inch infotainment screen, so opt for at least the 1LT trim with the Technology package. It's a shame you have to choose between comfortable seats with a cushion that feels too high in the vehicle or amazing Recaro sport buckets that completely lack lumbar support (only available with the 1LE package). Honestly, if you're getting a manual-transmission car, go for the 1LE with the Recaros and invest in a small pillow.

Driving
9.0This strong performer blends speed with precision and enjoyment in a way that previous Camaros never did. The V8 is stout, but even the V6 and four-cylinder are punchy. Handling feels more precise with the smaller engines, but the V8 with its stickier tires exhibits higher limits. The V8's 10-speed automatic transmission is mighty impressive.
Comfort
7.5Ride quality is very good considering the Camaro's mission. Most drivers will find comfort in the front seats, but some may find the lower cushion odd. Don't bother with the back seat unless you are of a smaller stature. The V6 and four-cylinder engines are on the loud side and don't sound good. The V8 is better in both regards.
Interior
6.5Visibility remains a big concern, and it makes the Camaro harder to operate and park in tight places than it should be. The interior controls are arranged in an unusual way that comes with a surmountable learning curve. The back seat is tight, though the front seats have plenty of space.
Utility
5.0Even though you can't expect much from a muscle or sports car, the Camaro's compromised trunk and interior storage are unusually poor considering current standards. By comparison, the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger are much easier to live with.
Technology
7.0The Camaro comes standard with a respectable level of infotainment technology features. The base infotainment system looks slick, reacts quickly, and offers all the phone connectivity features you could want. But it all goes south when it comes to active safety, where the Camaro feels a decade behind due to simplistic standard offerings, meager options, and a total absence of collision intervention and mitigation equipment.
