Before I got my camaro, I used to drive a 2002 Toyota Sequoia. It had the most horrible blind spots and no back up camara. I learned to use the mirrors real quick. With the camaro you have some blind spots, but not nearly as bad. Use your mirrors you will be fine. If you bought a 2012 SS2, it will also have a back up camera in the rear view mirror which also helps. As for length, the camaro is much shorter, making maneuvering and parking it so much easier. It will seem strange at first driving since it sits so much lower to the ground but you'll get used to it in no time. Enjoy your new camaro!

I mean what did you like and not like when you started driving your Camaros for the first time. And is there something I should do in order to keep the car safe from scratches, or anything like that? I would really like to know how you guys felt when you started driving your cars, and how long did it take for your guys to get used to the driving of the car. I used to drive my brothers 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser when he doesn't use, it an its a pretty big SUV. Will it make driving my Camaro much easier, in terms of its length, and its blind spots? Thank you, and I am really looking forward to reading your replies!
Congratulations and Thank You for supporting GM and Team Camaro Enjoy the Ride and Best Regards from Oshawa

I was thinking about that. The rear view camera should help quite a bit right?

Hopefully the rearview camera will help big time. Guys, I haven't been sleeping much lately, because I am quite excited. I pick it up on Wedensday evening. How do I keep myself calm until then??

Thanks again!
