First off I may be buying a used V6 instead of a brand new one, are there particular things to watch for when buy a 2010 or newer besides the regular things to watch for when buying used?

Secondly I know alot of people prefer manual and swear by it but I learned on automatic and I want to know is it worth it from a praticality stand point to learn manual before buying it? How about if I plan to drive it in winter?

And lastly, just want to make sure that these cars do alright in winter. I live in southern ontario and it can get pretty snowy out here but its usually just alot of slush, that wont be too much for it, right?

#1... test drive the Camaro first!!!! Especially one similar to what you wish to purchase.

#2... Auto versus manual... which every option you are comfortable with. After all, it's YOUR Camaro. Cater to your liking, not anybody else's.

#3... winter driving... make no mistake... the PZERO's are "Summer" tires and perform best with ideal road conditions. I suggest getting "all season tires" if possible for snowy or slushy conditions. I have a second vehicle and try not to drive my Camaro when road conditions are not to my liking, for obvious reasons. Trust me when I say the PZERO's don't perform as well in cold conditions... but you don't have to be a genius to figure that out.

does anyone know if you can fit a guitar in a hardshell case in a coupe camaro?

I know in my friends 3 and 5 series BMWs he can fit like 4or 5 basses in there if he knocks down the back seats but I havent had the same luck with a Cadillac CTS coupe so if the camaro cant, then that is for sure a deal breaker

Depending on the size of some cases, YES, you should be able to fit a guitar in a hardshell in there.... ya might have to lay down the back seat and/or put it in from the passenger or driver's side, but that shouldn't be an issue.

Thatsheepguy, yes, I can fit my custom 7 string gig bag and a 6 string hard shell case comfortably in the trunk. Poor lighting sorry.



I listen to Soulscar from North Vancouver, and others in your area, hopefully these posts will encourage you to get you into a Camaro.

Go over the car thoroughly and make sure you know what your honestly looking at. Carfax or the like is imperative..I have also heard that gm also keeps good records on each car. My car came with bald tires so check everything. Also ask and look to see if any mods have been done. Some.mods will void any factory warranty that's left, and others wont.

I live in southwestern colorado and mine is my daily driver. Good snow tires make all the difference. The car is a blast in fresh snow! If you get the rs package be aware of the stagger set up and additional cost in tires over all. The general gmax as03 tire has done awesome by me...6" of fresh snow over red mountain pass.

Good luck and happy hunting...get ready for a Perma grin

Jesus, Bald tires after 3200 Miles?? what did they do in that car!
