5 of your biggest complaints with the Camaro

I'm fairly certain mine keeps track of the song I'm playing, but not the preferences (for example, if I'm playing an album, it will pick up where I left off and continue playing songs from all albums/artists on the USB drive in alphabetical order instead of just the album I was listening to).

As far as complaints...I have no deal breaking complaints or no major complaints whatsoever. There are a few things I had to get used to though:

1) Reduced visibility. Like everyone has said, though, this is pretty easy to get used to.

2) On my old car, I used to grip the steering wheel with one hand at the top or bottom of the steering wheel to drive. The Camaro steering wheel does not allow me to grip at the bottom since it's designed differently, which in essence means this isn't a complaint about the Camaro...I just learned how to drive in a truck and car that let me grip the wheel at the bottom. I haven't gotten used to this yet, but it's definitely (repeat: definitely) not a big deal at all.

3) It doesn't fly. Seriously, this car does everything else. Why can't it fly? Come on GM, step it up!

4) Seriously? I need to two more?

5) It doesn't make its own gasoline...

Not enough money to do all mods at once is my only complaint.

Second was no nav system. I wanted one, but it wasn't a deal breaker. I found nice little Garmin Nuvi I like and found a mount for it made for the Camaro, so it looks and works just fine in the car. Certainly neither was a big problem for me. I thought the styling, power, and driving experience of the car WAY outweighed any of those.

you didn't like the TomTom GO 740 Live? i've always seen better reviews on tomtom, my parents have an older model, i plan on getting the 740 wen i get my camaro...it too has a mount for it

Currently there is nothing that i don't like about the car. putting it away for the winter is just keeping it nice for the spring/summer/fall. I love this car, its comfortable, fun to drive (stick shift is my preference), awesome power, awesome looks, everything I could want in a car. Might be kinda hard to have sex in the back seat but there's always the front seat

lack of ttops and spare tire my only complaints

[SRM]

None whatsoever. I have the 2SS trim. I think the audio system sounds great and I haven't experienced some of the problems others mentioned specific to usb drives and the ipod.

The backup sensors are pretty cool. Didn't realize these cars had them.

It took me all but twenty minutes to get used to the different visibility.

I have a 755T, beautiful unit BTW, and I use the Garmin portable friction mount, bean bag style. This is great for lots of reasons. It leaves no suction cup mark on the glass. You can grab the whole thing and quickly put it away so it is out of sight. It does not move at all! You can put anywhere on the dash you like. It is a bit expensive, but it is worth it.

I haven't used a TomTom, but I have used 3-4 others besides Garmin, and Garmin has been the best out of all the ones I have tried.

I'm a Garmin fan. Always have been. I have 3 of them now. It's only been recently that the TomTom's have gotten a good reputation. It used to be Garmin was considered the best. There are several good ones available now. But, I'm sticking with my Garmins. I'm sure the Tom Tom's are great. They get some good reviews.

I got a clip mount that attaches to the console in the Camaro for the Garmin. I have one of those friction mounts in my van and it isn't stable enough for me. I wanted one that won't go flying when cornering. Wheee!

Do you have a link for your Garmin mount? Same here have had several Garmins and will stick with them until another jumps way ahead in features/quality.

My only complaint to this point other than things that they fixed or will fix under warranty is the ring around the horn part of my steering wheel. It's peeled all to hell and looks like shit. I never touch it. In other words, it's not a place where I rest my hand wile driving. It just started peeling and discoloring.

Other than that. I've been flawless.

Thanks

No BIG issues at all !!

I here a lot of complaints about visibility & blind spots, that's not a flaw it's the price you have to pay for a Great looking car !

If the windows were 4 or 5 inches taller the car would look like SHIT..

If visibility is your concern Buy a SUV or a Malibu or another sedan.

If I was forced to pick something I don't like I would say the passenger seat, it lacks a up & down adjustment, so you sit very low.
And maybe the drivers shoulder belt is not comfortable.......and that's it !
Those are NOT very big flaws thought.

nothing at all.. although i would have liked it if i could control my ipod/iphone through the device and not through the system receiver when plugged in.
