Best band for the buck anywhere!!
Wow, what a car! Best bang for the buck. Great interior even if somewhat limited visibility. The '19 model makes up for that with the review camera/mirror feature though. Awesome power and it puts it down to the ground without being as sinister and scary as the Corvette. Can't go wrong with this car.

Young at Heart
I am a 78 old man and I have always loved cars that make you feel special And add a positive upper in your life. I love my Camaro, it looks great and it makes me feel young. It handles great interior is great, back seat area a little tight, but I am the driver so back seats don’t worry me. It handles great rides good, looks great top up or down. I highly recommend for the adventurous type. Sincerely, Richard Basile
WOW!!!!
I have been a Corvette lover for years. I have owned 2. Was ready to upgrade to the Z06 so I started shopping. It took me about 3 hours to make a decision between the Corvette and the Camaro ZL1. I ended up with the ZL1. No regrets. After driving both the Camaro has awesome speed and is much easier to get in and out of. Don't hesitate to make this purchase. Even now when I see a Corvette on the road I don't second guess my decision. The car I got also had an upgraded AWE exhaust and a ROTO FAB cold air intake. It is running close to 670-680 HP. LOVE THIS CAR!!!!

Like a Vette, but with emergency back seats!
2SS with 1LE Track Package. Lots of power (of course) but also really spectacular handling with the 1LE. As a previous Corvette owner, I was very surprised at how sports car like the car is. Interior is also very comfortable (for front seat occupants) and much higher quality than Corvettes of 10-15 years ago. Much like a Vette, very limited storage inside the cabin. A small center console and a glove box is all you get. Not a big deal, if you’re looking at this as a sports car, but if you’re looking at it as a fun passenger coupe, it might be disappointing. Back seats are useable for adults if the trip is short (less than an hour). Over about 5’9” and you have to tilt your head to the side due to low rear seat headroom. But still, unlike my Vette, if you need to throw someone in the back for a lift home or something, you have that option. If you have kids up through early teens, completely useable back seats for routine use. Trunk is actually fairly large, but the trunk opening is only big enough for carry-on size suitcases. Completely useable and sufficient storage for daily driver use, but medium-large suitcases and such aren’t getting in there. In all, if you’re in the market for a fairly “no-compromise” sports car, but would like just a touch more practicality, the 2SS Camaro with the 1LE package is a fantastic option. Plus, it’s a Chevy. It’s about $20k cheaper than imported equivalent cars, you can get it fixed almost anywhere in the USA and parts won’t require a second mortgage on your house. I’m very happy with the purchase.

A sportscar wrapped in muscle car clothes
A quick note before I begin, I have the 1SS 1LE trim level Camaro, which is not available on the dropdown menu to set up a customer review. I have driven a pretty broad variety of sportscars in Europe and now in the U.S. The car I traded in for this Camaro is a 2008 Corvette base which had pretty extensive suspension modifications which I raced in autocross and track events across Western Europe. And even with the heavy modifications to the Corvette, the 1LE Camaro is decisively better. It corners harder, feels crisper and communicates to the driver better than my old Corvette, and in fact better than just about anything I have ever driven. The powerplant is great, but has a minor problem with electronic throttle lag. It feels as if the power comes on just a little behind the throttle input. My old LS3 never had this issue, with immediate power delivery on throttle input. Its not really annoying, but until I got used to it, I revved a bit high when throttle blipping to begin driving in first gear. The engine otherwise is fantastic, with great torque across a wide RPM band. Visibility is really as poor as the professional reviewer noted, and could have been a far less major inconvenience with technological aids which are becoming standard across a wide band of the new car market. Why this defect was not amended as part of the design process is beyond me. Still, with vigilance and practice, this problem can be minimized. Nonetheless, I deducted one star for this issue. Overall, I am immensely satisfied with this car, minor quibbles aside. The world class handling this car is capable of pays for all.

A refined BEAST! Camaro 1SS A10
Update-Have owned this care for 15 months now. Only average about 6K mi/yr since I work from home. Runs as good as new. The seat comfort is quite impressive. I'd say the stock cloth seats are more comfortable than many sedans. I drove my Mom's 2019 for 3 months while visiting and while it was comfortable, the seats in the Camaro were better cushioned. Gas mileage in mixed driving is not good 16-17 calculated by hand and I have a little bit of dash rattle/crinkle sound but drive with the windows down mostly so don't notice it much. Other than that, this car is a nasty animal that can be driven tamely and comfortably. It also sounds insane. I personally love the simple interior. Why Edmunds can't have the correct trim in the drop-down menu is pure laziness on their part. There is no choice for A10, only 6M. Got my '19 1SS for $33,090 before tax/lic due to dealer discounts and I had a Mustang GT so got a $2500 rebate with that as well. The performance of this car is incredible even if I paid $50K. The A10 shifts really quick and is super smooth and rarely ever hunts for gears. It's a blast with the paddles, manual shifting or just put in D and keep it S mode or T on the freeway if you want. Mine is all stock except for a Borla s-type catback. It sounds soooooo good without being overly loud or obnoxious. I think the car looks awesome too with the stock 20s and staggered tires. Full power seat, apple car-play standard are big pluses. Handling and power are on another level. Comfort is very good. Only negative is visiblity which is mostly a hindrance at low speeds around islands in parking lots b/c of the high door sills. Otherwise on the road, hardly ever an issue for me. Gas mileage of course isn't good but hwy can be almost 30 when just cruising in 4cyl mode. I average 17.5 overall. If you want a car that drives/performs well above its price point and sounds like complete beast doing it, look no further.

Amazing car, embarrassing base engine
Just returned a brand new rental Camaro convertible after driving it for about 1,000 miles from and around San Francisco to and around LA. The car handles like a dream, feels solid and well built and its looks are stunning. Just one caveat, go for the 6 or even better the 8. The turbocharged 4 is, frankly, an embarrassment. While absolute power is just ok, there is turbo-lag and the mill sounds like a coffee grinder imitating a lawn mower. This otherwise extraordinary car deserves better.
Can’t get the smile off my face!
Test drove the Camaro SS and fell in love. Superb horse power and acceleration, handles as good as my old BMW Z4!

2020 Camaro LT1 is a beast!
Just bought a 2020 Camaro LT1 in Riverside Blue with the 10 speed automatic and dual mode exhaust. It sounds amazing, it is comfortable and very fast. The car shifts so fast with the automatic, and the V8 LT1 engine has a massive torque delivery. I don’t understand why people complain about the “blind spots.” Doesn’t bother me at all. For $35,000, it’s a great deal people.
Fantastic Muscle Car
I have had a LT1 with the 10 speed for about 6 months and I love it. I did get the tech package, dual mode performance exhaust, and the Eagle F1 run flat tires. I have no problem with visibility, I'm not sure why there are so many negative comments about it. I will say this, if you are over 6 foot tall this probably isn't the car for you. As for road trips I have taken it on two 2000+ mile trips and was very comfortable and got better gas mileage than my Yaris. (Avg 35 mpg)

Camaro Crazy!
Got this Camaro back in August, when I saw one driving down the road one day so, I went to the Chevrolet Dealership. After 10 minutes of test driving it, I have to say it was love at first site! Payed top dollar and now in December it has 5,129 Miles and I’ve had no issues what so ever! Drives like none other and powerful like none other. I would recommend this especially in the 2SS trim like I got if you want a Camaro (The ZL1 I mean is good but too much for the amount I’d like to pay). Like the title “Camaro Crazy!”.

Amazing Machine Beautiful Classic Style
I will note this is my 6th Camaro. I have owned an 85 Berlinetta, 92 RS Convertible, 96 RS, 2001 Z28, 2012 RS, and 2020 SS. My current 2020 is the 2 SS model. This car handles and accelerates the best by a landslide. This is my first SS and I love every minute of driving it. The interior design has some cool touches. Like all other reviews the visibility is horrible. However in my trim level they have addressed some of those issues. The blind spot sensor does not have an auditable alert, only blinking icons on mirrors. The Bose sound system is best in class and delivers on every level. The radio interface is awkward and needs attention. Another huge miss is HD radio.

Love my 2020 SS!
I get compliments like crazy on my Garnet Red Tint coat. I got the black package with the black spoiler and mirror caps, along with the carbon fiber painted wheels. It handles like a much more expensive sports car (think 911) and the frame is tight and rattle free with over 8k on it. The 10 speed auto is lighting fast, I never use the paddle shifters and manual mode because it’s so competent. When you romp on it your pressed in your seat like your in a jet fighter. It’s an exhilarating and fun car you use as an everyday driver as well.

Not made for snow
It's a beautiful car but I can't handle it during bad weather. I put it in my garage and drive my Cavalier in the winter!
1LT Turbo
As an owner of a ‘14 Challenger and ‘04 Monte Carlo SS, the Camaro in the 6th gen form is an exceptional value. Some folks will never get over a 4 cylinder turbo offering despite the fact it is 2020. Detractors will flail there hands in the air asking where’s the v8. I would not suggest a first time driver or a young driver with little experience buy a Camaro due to blind spots and overall lack of visibility. However, if you have driving experience the Camaro is fine. You adjust to the blind spots as you do in any car. I find zero issues driving it. So many reviews are negative on the bunker like interior. My gosh this is what makes it a stand out and NOT a me too car. If you want outward visibility and 95% views buy a Kia. Going back and forth between the Challenger and Camaro there is not mistaken the Camaro is the sports car. I love that GM offered the LTG engine I4 turbo in this Alpha platform. Coupled with the strong platform and lightweight of the I4 you have the makings of a great handling car. Want a bigger trunk? Buy a Challenger. The Camaro is the girl that gets invited to the Prom because she looks sexy as hell. As I was always a V8 or nothing enthusiast I am pleasantly surprised at how well the turbo engine Camaro performs. Take a look at the aftermarket offerings and these inline 4 cylinder boosted cars are quicker than you may think. Turbo threshold and lag, sure. It ok. And I haven't even talked about the less cost to insure. Btw if you drive nice you can get over 550 miles to a tank. I’m glad I don’t base my buying decisions on reviews entirely. Go test drive it. See for yourself.

Great bang for your buck. ZL1 1LE
Best car purchase decision I've ever made. Coming from mustang gt350 which was the most unreliable purchase I've ever made. My whole life the Ford quality has gone down hill and you don't get any creature comforts like in the Camaro. Visibility and trunk opening are the only down fall I've noticed in the Camaro but you get used to it all. The ZL1 has heated and vented/cooled seats, Bose audio, heated steering wheel, changeable ambient lighting, navigation and Etc. Etc. The quality fit finish of materials is light years past the mustang and the only compatible mustang is 100k plus. So bang for the buck is why I chose to purchase my first Chevrolet ever.

1LS 2021 Camaro
Probably the most fun I’ve had driving in decades . Great on gas and a fantastic road machine . Reminds me of my old C3 Corvette . UPDATE: Hard to find car to begin with - twice as hard to find in stickshift version . 4 cylinder turbo smooth and responds quickly . Build quality is good for a GM product , paint and fit ok . Interior comfort/seats great - reminds me of my old 1971 Corvette . Ride is somewhat better than a C3 Vette . Interior is functional with minimal storage and back seat is totally useless . Priced at $25000, it’s a steal. Unfortunately most dealers will add a second “sucker”sticker with useless upgrades or just plain add $2000-5000 to price. Update 2 years later . Car still going down the road, minor issues caused by a defective battery , which was replaced by dealership free of charge .

A great deal of car for the money...
Yes. Visibility is an issue. If you are a vigilant driver, it can be overcome. That being said, this car is amazingly fun to drive! I had a '94 Z-28 that I loved dearly, but parted with after 9 years of driving joy. I test drove a used 2020 and was smitten again. I had my dealer locate a 2020 Garnet Red Tintcoat 2SS model and grabbed it. Love at first sight. After driving it off and doing away with the break in miles, I am really enjoying this car. The interior and sound system are leaps and bounds away from my '94. No more need for aftermarket audio. The leather seats and conveniences are on the level of much more expensive cars. But oh, when you step on that accelerator pedal. Grin inducing fun on a major level! The thing grips and corners like it's on rails and will absolutely fly. On top of all that, it's very pretty to look at too.... Well...3 years later: still love it! No issues, runs like a scalded cat and puts a smile on my face every time I get in it.

I will never own another Chevrolet
I bought a 2019 Chevy Camaro convertible my dream car( took me 50 years)and I am so disgusted with the quality of this car. Chevrolet is a disgrace to American made. This car is straight from wish app. Cheapest products went into making this car. Taking my daughter to school it was 35* so I had the defroster on high, heard a pop the windshield cracked from side to side, back glass is ungluing from top, thread on seats is dry rotted, light says hood is open, carpet is spliced under seats, door hinge is cracked, remote start never worked, and many more issues. 828$ charge yesterday to change a thermostat and 278$ for a diagnostic test to tell me none of it is factory defects! Now have 10k repair estimate. So buy a new car and 3 years later u have 10k in repairs! No thank you Chevrolet! Chevrolet and China sound better together!!😡😡😡😡😡😡

Excellent sports car
Alot of the negatives mentioned can be negated by getting the 2ss convertible. The bad visibility becomes fine with the safety tech and top down. Same with rear passenger room with infinite head room, but tbh my gf is 4ft 10in so her fitting comfortably doesn't say a ton.
love it

Rented
I rented a convertible with the turbocharged 4. Drove and handled nice. Had all the power you asked it for. Very quick and speedy. It's like driving a batmobile. Not a large windshield, a slit for a back window, not good visibility on the sides. You have to be on guard when changing lanes. Nice too look at. You can only use the back seat if you are legless.
Awesome Ride
Chevrolet hit the mark with the 2020 SS Camaro. Fun to drive. Plenty of power. Everybody wants to race!

14 months update-1SS A10
Have had my 1SS a little over a year now. Not my daily driver so only 6000 miles. Haven't had a single issue. My only complaint is the touch screen with Apple Car play is a little laggy at times especially with Amazon Music. Minor nitpick. Visibility is practically a non-issue as I'm so used to the car now and rear view mirror is actually quite good. All you really notice is the performance and this thing is truly a beast. I couldn't imagine ponying up the extra $$$ for a ZL-1. The SS alone has more power on the street than you can really use. Love the the car. The A10 is seriously impressive on how fast and smooth it shifts. Best bang for the buck out there if you don't need much of a back seat.

2019 ZL1
Had an 18 got rid of it and realized how much I liked it so bought a 19. Only disappointment is GM locked the tuner guys out. Added a plug /Play tuner to the 18 with a cold air box and really made a great difference. Great car but visibility is bad.
A Real ‘Muscle’ Car! (2017 2-SS Coupe with Auto)
PROS: Handling; Styling; Performance; Gas mileage; Comfort; Build Quality. CONS: Handling (Summer Only Tires); Gas Mileage; Cruise Control; Blind Spots; Comfort; Trunk Size. Desired Enhancements: Better rear end grip (wider tires/rear; Better Sight Lines; A little more trunk space. RATINGS (based on 5-star system): Comfort: 3;Interior: 3;Performance: 5;Quality: 4;Reliability: 5;Safety: 4;Styling: 5;Technology: 4;Value: 4. General Overview This is the ‘Initial Review’ of this vehicle. I purchased it via the manufacturers Certified Previously Owned (CPO) program from a local Chevrolet Dealership. I traded my 2016 Ford Mustang EcoBoost for it. You can see my reviews of that vehicle elsewhere on Edmund’s and Kelly Blue Book (KBB) websites. There was “NOTHING” wrong with the Mustang, I just wanted a change and wanted to experience that V8 power and sound one more time (I previously owned a 1972 Dodge Challenger R/T and 1970 Oldsmobile 442). With this purchase I’ve been blessed to own and survive a version of each “Muscle Car!” Although the vehicle was not in the color I wanted, it did have “ALL” the features I wanted, and at a reduced rate. It even came with a two-year manufacturer’s full warranty and maintenance. I’ve admired this version of the Camaro since it appeared in the Transformer movie, and considered purchasing it before I purchased the 2016 Mustang. I’m glad I waited as the updated 2017 model looks a little more mature and cohesive. I really like the vehicle lines, 4-tip exhaust outlets and rims. As many have documented, the outward visibility is challenging, but bearable. Personally, I only find the rear visibility more challenging than that of the Mustang. The front and side visibility are equivalent, however I find I don’t have to adjust my side-view mirrors as much as I did in the Mustang. For some reason I could not find a setting for the Mustang mirrors that ‘always’ suited me. This included the rearview mirror. I don’t know what the issue was with the side-view mirrors, but the issue with the rearview mirror may have had something to do with it always vibrating, something the Camaro’ does not do. The driving feel of the Camaro is the best I’ve experienced, ever. I’ll say more when I explain my ratings, but I’ll just say it’s quick! The Mustang was fast, but the power delivery from the Camaro is instantaneous and forceful. Yea, I know it’s kind of comparing apples to oranges, but the EcoBoost Mustang is pretty fast and handles well. Explaining the Ratings In rating this vehicle I’m comparing it directly with the EcoBoost Mustang and loosely with the 1972 Challenger and 1970 Cutlass 442. I’ll say right off the bat the older vehicles don’t hold a candle to the new muscle, but they defined the segment. They were fast for their day but did not have the handling and braking of today’s muscle cars. OK, it’s a muscle car and not expected to be overly comfortable. However, when I compare its comfort against that of the Mustang, I give it one less star. The Camaro seats don’t fit me as well as did the Mustangs, its interior is not sorted as well, and it’s a little more ‘plastically’ than the Mustang, however it rides better. The better ride is more than likely due to the Magnetic Ride Control suspension in the Camaro. The Camaro handles the rough sections of road near my residence with much more aplomb than did the Mustang. Where the Mustang was a little jarring over these sections, the Camaro smoothed them out, at least when it Touring Mode. The glove compartment and center console of the Camaro are not as deep or as well designed as that of the Mustang, therefore they’re not as useful. Compared to the older vehicles, neither vehicle has much storage space. The Camaro has a tighter interior than the Mustang. With my 6’ 1” frame, neither vehicle offers seating behind the driver’s seat, but the space behind the passenger seat in the Camaro is also tight. While I can still transport two other passengers, the rear seat occupant may not be my friend after the journey! The Camaro’ windows, especially the rear glass, are harder to clean than those in the Mustang. It can be really frustrating cleaning the lower section of the rear glass where it meets the rear shelf. Ouch! PRO/CON Insights: I’m always receiving “positive” complements about this vehicle, especially how the rims set it off. It however does not receive comments like I received about the Mustang. The performance is good and surpassed my expectations. I’ve not personally tested/verified the performance numbers, but there are plenty of automotive review experts (and some amateurs) who have, and I’m satisfied my vehicle’ performance falls within their perimeter’s, or at least it feels so too me. This is a comfortable traveling vehicle for 2-adults and their luggage. If the small trunk does not have enough space, you can drop the rear seatbacks to expand the luggage space. This should provide more than enough luggage capacity for two.

WOW!! My 6th Camaro
My wife and I absolutely love our 2020 2ss convertible 10 speed Camaro ! I have owned 6 Camaros starting with my 68 Camaro in 1976, this 6th gen is by far the favorite. I even owned a 69 Z28 back in the early 80s. This 6th gen is so much more practical ,comfortable,stylish and aggressive looking then any of our other Camaros that we have owned. This car is the fastest car that I have owned, even faster then my 69 Camaro SS 396 ! I'm 66 yrs old and still can climb in and out of this car! This will probably be our last Camaro that we will own and enjoy. If your my age are thinking about purchasing one just do it, Life is to short!

This Camaro is the most exciting car I have owned. It is fun to drive. Mine is a 3LT that adds more safety features than a base model. I have had no problem with visibility or blind spots using the added safety features. Best cornering car ever. The V6 will even push you back in the seat. I ordered it with the V6, 10 speed transmission, dual mode exhaust, heads up display, shift paddles, navigation, Bose and much more. Love it!!!

2021 Chevy Camaro ( EVERYTHING THAT I WANTED)!
I was completely happy/excited when I got my car. I loved everything about it. It is beautiful, clean, well kept, and runs smoothly and I hope it stays that way, CARMAX IS THE SPOT!
Love / hate relationship
Love the looks and the attention it gets. Cramped interior, blind spots and not enough cup holders. But its very comfortable. Fun to drive. The V6 has plenty of pep, and decent mileage if you keep your foot out of it. This is a Redline RS, V6, automatic
