No hate here,

Cracks me up when people tell me they hate the visibilty, but I like it that part too.

mariojmoe · 04-18-2015, 07:42 AM

Likes- looks good, solid car, and a head turner, a badass, loud 480 hp beast after modding the crap out of it

Dislikes- heavy German tank, was quiete and slow stock, headroom (I'm 5'9 148) no cd player with the mylink, poor visibility, poor factory paint quality, gm forcing the onstar (before I disabled it).

Love everything, why are you driving a camaro if you don't like the visibility.. It's not like you didn't sit in it before you bought it

It's hard to fit in with my helmet on. My neck still hurts from my race a few days ago. I am going to invest in a slimmer helmet and a proper racing seat. I'm not the typical American size and slide around in the stock seats. The car itself is perfect for what it is, but there are a lot of small things that I am doing to personalize it and make it more the way I like it.

OK, I can't see airplanes, no problem with almost everything else. Wait, I have a sunroof, so I can see airplanes. This car is awesome!

Hates, stupid key recall that does nothing but mess the key fob up and may create an issue!

No hate here. Nothing but love.
Way too many cars available on the market to drive something you hate.
If you bought the 1LE and found things to hate maybe you should ride the bus.

It's all about different opinions and wants to one's own. I have a badass 3lz C6 Z06 with mods and I freaking love it but there are some things that I do dislike about it as well.

qcman · 04-18-2015, 10:34 AM

I really like the Camaro but
I don't like AFM
Tiny sunvisors
tunnel like visibility
My other gripe is what I call road feel. I feel everything from the pavement through my steering wheel as though there is not enough damping in there. I'm sure purists would like that actually but I'm not one.

I liked the connected feeling with the road/handling. Fair trade off for the harsh ride.

Hate....Hill assist.

Love....Almost 600+ HP & Mag Ride

Red2014SS · 04-18-2015, 10:48 AM

About the only two things I dislike are -

The MyLink stereo/infotainment thing. It's use is very limited and it can be annoying to deal with. I'd rather just have a regular AM/FM/Sat radio/MP3 and CD player. If you are going to make it like a cellphone/computer then go all the way... don't halfass it. Just this morning, I got weather warnings from three counties away. Even if you go through the hoops and disable them, when you restart the car, they are back.

The other dislike is AFM.

Other than that, the car is just about perfect.

If I wanted a soft mushy ride, we'll there are plenty of cars to choose from. The ride is firm but no way harsh. My wife HATES HIGHWAY DRIVING, major anxiety attacks. So we had to take a trip and she asked which vehicle are we taking. I said my car, it will be ok, I will behave myself. She wasn't happy with the decision, but I knew that she hates traveling anyway. I told her if she was uncomfortable, I would turn around and exchange vehicles. A hour into the trip I didn't her anything from her, so I asked her how she was doing and she said that she was comfortable and enjoying the music. In 17 years, I never heard enjoying a trip. Completed the trip with No issues at all. 3 weeks later, same trip and we took her '09 Escape that has 33K miles on it. 2 weeks later, we had to make the same trip and I asked her, which vehicle did you want us to go in. She picked my car because it sat lower, rode good, and made her fill safer! That made my day

Maybe it was the Recaro's

Actually I did. I ordered mine before I even got in it. Still love it. People that want visibility, get a Camry. It's a sports car.
