GM catches a lot of crap for a lot of what they do. This car has surprised me by being the only car I've ever purchased that I can't find anything about it that I don't like. I think GM really did a good job with this Camaro.

I've loved every minute of it. Though you would have figured the my link radio should have been in it from the start

Brakes were a pleasant surprise, those things grab, I knew from the reviews that they were good but wow I have never experienced brakes this strong

This car is as much fun today as it was the day I bought it 3 years ago!

My only surprise is that I am still having difficult adjusting to the blindspots. My only complaint for the car is the cupholders being in such a poor spot. Can't really think of much else to complain over.

No surprises or disappointments. Unless you count it surprises me how much attention the Camaro still gets after its been out almost 4 years. I got a thumbs up and a honk of the air horn from a trucker today.

My experience has been totally positive, I don't have a single negative thing to say about the car or my experiences since I've bought it.

The car of a lot of people's dreams. For only a few of us the dream has come true. Not a thing wrong with mine. If there was something wrong, it would still be perfect. Although, 200 more HP would be nice. LOL.

All great except AFM and the stereos are crappy sounding. A girl upstairs just bought an Oldsmobile Ventura or something for 20 k and its base stereo blows the doors off the BA system.

That car would have to be at least 10 years old since Oldsmobile went out of business 10 years ago...anyway I have never heard of an Oldsmobile Ventura...
