Is the interior too small? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just made a trip from north of Detroit to Cincinnatti with my wife and two kids. Everone was comfortable for the trip. Not as much elbow room as the GMC Acadia we usually take, but not tight by any means. My daughters are ten and seven. The seven-year old sits behind my wife because her thighs are not long enough to allow her knees to bend all the way and feet to rest on the floor....the ten-year old sits behind me, since her knees bend and feet touch the floor.

They got a kick out of all the people down in Ohio that have never seen a Camaro....kind of old news up here in Metro Detroit.

From a front seat point of view the Camaro is a huge car. It is wide and offers a ton of leg room

Back seat is another story.

Easier in and out than the Honda Accord coupe we replaced with this car.

Lots of leg room.

100% AGREED!!!...

But, that being said, I did not buy my Camaro to be used as a 4-seater...only in a rare instance would I put anyone in the back...

There is a lot of room in the front compartment...it is the most comfortable car I have ever driven, or been a passenger in...

I'm 5'6", and I have long legs, so there is plenty of front seat leg room for me...I tend to drive with the seat all the way back and I fit just fine...

I have never sat in the back yet, so I can't speak for that, but my sons are 5'8", and 6'2", and once or twice they SQUEEZED in back there, and they didn't complain, however, they could also have been in 'shock and awe'

at the beauty of the Camaro,

and just ignored the small back seats ...lol...

Yes, I thought the interior had plenty of room, when I drop the seat all of the way down the headroom is tremendous. GM did a great job of keeping true to the Camaro heritage, the rumors of the interior being too small are nonsense!

JohnInSoCal · 10-26-2009, 03:00 PM

it is fairly small. The backseat is really for kids only, especially if adults are in the front seat. Also with a sunroof you have significantly less headroom. I am only 5'11 and my head hits the roof even with seat all the way down and back some, I have a long torso which makes the difference here.

Just over 6 feet here and no problems.
Feels roomy up front for me
Front passenger loves not having the F-Body bump in the floor !
Back seat passengers much over 5ft 9 or so will find headroom a bit tight but legroom is pretty much same as the F-Body
My youngest loves having a little window in the back

Very happy with overall size - also liking the trunk space which is way more than I expected - and the engine bay is way more spacious in terms of space around the engine than the F-body

NO, I'm 6ft 210lbs and I have plenty of room. Even more on the passenger side. Also have a sunroof. Go sit in one!

OUR72GTO · 10-26-2009, 04:24 PM

There is no " significant " loss of head room with as sunroof. Maybe you did not notice but this one opens out.
I sat in mine with and the other without, both set all the way back and down and the most we could see was 1/2 inch.

futrocpd · 10-26-2009, 05:23 PM
