What does it feel like to drive a Camaro? This Camaro is a good driver that, unlike other Camaros, combines speed, accuracy, and fun. Even though the V6 and 4-cylinder engines are potent, we recommend the V8 if you want to feel like you’re driving a power car. Most of them will pull a little less than a similar Mustang, and the brakes will stop the car quickly.

The smaller, lighter engines are easier to control, while the V8’s stickier tires make it more complicated. Thanks to the manual gears’ great positive gates and rev-matching, downshifts are as smooth as a pro driver’s.

How lovely is the Camaro to ride in? The basic suspension makes the ride smooth. The Magnetic Ride Control suspension, which is only available on the V8, works better on different types of terrain. Considering what the Camaro is used for, the ride is good. All engines are quiet when not running, but only the V8 makes an excellent sound when driven hard.

Even though some people might find the bottom cushion too tight, the front seat backs are well-made and provide enough side support without feeling too close. We like how the door and middle armrests are well-cushioned. Even for short trips, the back seat is pretty tight. Because they are in an odd place in front of the shift lever, the temperature control centre vents are great for cooling or warming your hand while driving.

How does the inside look? Still, visibility could be better, which makes driving and parking the Camaro in small spaces harder than it needs to be. Surprisingly, the front and side views are a lot worse. Driving the Camaro on narrow roads (look at that rock wall!) and in tight spaces (look at that shopping cart!) is challenging. People who aren’t very tall can’t see over the dashboard.

The odd way the inner controls are set up is easy to get used to. Even without the sunroof, the front part of the car feels like it has a lot of space. Even if the driver is short, people of average height will only have a little room in the back. In a classic speed coupe style, the back seat is only for kids.

How good is the tech? In this area, the Camaro is hit or miss. Even though the screen is in an odd place on the dashboard, the entertainment system has many tech features, and we love how fast it responds and how nice it looks. The small size of the base touchscreen is another reason to pay more for the giant touchscreen with navigation. Due to poor visibility in the back, higher models must be upgraded to include rear parking sensors, blind-spot recognition, and a rear cross-traffic warning system.

What about putting things away? The Camaro hatchback has the most miniature trunk (9.1 cubic feet), the tiniest opening, and the highest liftover height. This is why tourists renting convertible Camaros put their things in the back seat.

There’s little room to store things inside. The door pockets and the bin under the armrest are both tiny. The cup holders are big enough and stay in the way only a little while moving. Even though people can’t sit in the back seat, it gives the car more storage space.

How well does it use gasoline? The four-cylinder automatic gets 25 mpg overall (22 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway), the V6 automatic gets 22 mpg overall (18 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the road), and the V8 automatic gets 20 mpg overall (16 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway). Other powerful cars have numbers that are about the same.

Is buying a Camaro a good idea? In this case, the excellent performance value comes out on top. The Camaro is the best car of its kind for drivers. The interior is mostly lovely, but a few rough plastic parts stand out. Even so, there are no squeaks or creaks in the system or building.

From the base cars that cost around $20,000 to the top-of-the-line ZL1, the Camaro costs about the same as a similar Mustang. Even though track kits and exterior upgrades offer identical features for the same amount, the Camaro runs much better.

The Camaro plays in a higher class and offers a driving experience that is very smooth and exciting. The V8 is hard to turn down because it has excellent power and a nice sound. The V6 and the four-cylinder models are easy to drive and quick, but neither engine has a charming sound. This low-slung coupe’s flashy design gets people’s attention, which you may or may not like.

As of this writing, Chevy had yet to show the public what trim levels the 2024 Camaro would have. If anything changes, we’ll change our recommendations. Still, based on last year’s Camaro, we suggest the 2SS trim, which adds a lot of comfort and convenience features and some cutting-edge safety systems to help with the Camaro’s visibility problems.

Chevrolet Camaro models

There are eight versions of the rear-wheel-drive Camaro. It starts with the four-cylinder 1LS and goes up to the 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT, all of which can be upgraded to a V6. The LT1 gets a V8, while the 1SS and 2SS get more performance updates. The strong ZL1 has a supercharged V8 and track experience as a last option. Most of the models are either coupes or convertibles.
