Interior Storage - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I did a quick search, but didn't find much.

I'm looking into getting a Camaro, and one thing I'm noticing is a lack of places to store stuff/set things. (2LT w/ 4 pack gages) is it just the center armrest and glovebox? that leaves no place to put my phone while in the car!

You also have storage pockets in the doors. or you can just use one of the two cup holders... My wife puts hers in the door hand hold.

i'd be afraid the door pocket wouldn't hold the phone when the door is opened/closed.

it's a shame that I like the 4 pack gages (and leather, as I want leather, and you can't get leather w/o getting the 4 pack), as the cubby that goes in it's place would be pefect.

I am sure someone without the 4 pack guages would be happy to swap the other panel for your guages... maybe give you a couple hundred for them to boot.
I thought you would just leve it there when you were driving, not all the time...

the armrest storage is actually pretty deep. i was surprised at how much crap i could fit in there

dcosta · 01-10-2010, 04:24 PM

Just put your phone in the cup holder also this car has bluetooth so if your
phone is anywhere in the car it will pick up the signal and you can get it through your radio even if it is in the glove box...
This option is really nice..

csjcsj · 01-10-2010, 04:27 PM

Apparently you dont really want one if you letting a small thing like that hold you back. just buy one and keep the phone between your legs.

Tom D · 01-10-2010, 04:31 PM

What about the cushioned shelf behind the front seats? I can fit all kinds of stuff on that. LOL

edog · 01-10-2010, 04:37 PM

I lay mine accross a cup holder. It fits nice and does not fall inside the holders. If I have not had any drinks in the holders I place it inside the holders.

I have no issues. You can also get a suction cup for the windshield. You will need to try different spots to see where it will fit best.

I put my phone under one of my thighs (so I can feel it ringing), or in the cupholder while driving.

JProberts · 01-10-2010, 04:38 PM

I found very little storage room in the car also compared to my others but they have always been sedan type luxury cars or SUV's.

You have to come to the realization that some of those amenities go out the window with a sports car like this.

But what you get in this sports car you can never get in a luxury vehicle.

Unless you spend $90,000.

So get this car if you can deal with all the little things you lose driving a sports car.

I love it!

I think thats the LAST thing I thought about is "how much junk can I fit in this car?" LoL And if a spot to put your phone is a big concern, you seriously should think about buying something else. Just use the cup holders.

RS is exterior only. Has zero to do with a radio.
