Again, I'll ask why YOU bother reading these forums if not for the opinions of others?

Pretty much all of them said that the ride was comfortable. One noted that this car would be just fine for long road trips whereas cars like the 370z are not very comfortable in this situation, ride wise. While one mentioned that they didn't like the steering wheel, another pointed out that the steering wheel was good. After having sat in the car, I can say that the steering wheel is on the large side. I was a bit surprised at how large it is actually. But it wasn't anywhere near a level that I thought it would annoy me or anything. It felt fine so I disagree with the one reviewer that thought it was awkward fealing. Number 3 put 2 sets of golf clubs as well as suitcases in his trunk without any issues. |

Ever been to a movie you loved and the reviews stunk. Then it won an Academy award?
At the end of the day every one's taste is in their OWN mouth.

Man who crapped in your cornflakes did you even read the reviews???? IT seems unanamous-???-give me a break. If you had taken the time-to closely read the reviews 1. everyone and their mother knew reviews would start at 6 pm---if you refreshed over and again since 2pm --well then i dont know what to tell you. 2.if you really read the reviews heres what that said A. exterior---by far an away the most exciting in design of any car it its class--a great combination of heritage and future. B. 9 out of 10 in every catagory put the camaro ahead of challenger and mustang an mustang gt--better handling --better suspension --quieter ride---better speeds in both 0-60 ann quarter mile--better stopping ---better road and treck stabilty --fat better tranction---some reviews put camaros interior still at best a tie with mustang or better--better gas mileage-- best price ----more horsepower--wayyyyyyyy better v-6s---no body roll c. you talked about the reviews being claustraphobic--again if you really read the reviews you would see that the reviewers had a preconcieved notion of this. but once in the car they were extremely surprised and the room in side. If you wanted a car to run up and down mountain roads and lots of twists and turns --then you should buy a jeep. THis car is about superior design --exterior --interior --engine--suspension performance--handling--and digital tech. i dont want to play with my camaro( well ok a few drags and burnouts)lol-i want it to look great a babe magnet--i have the power an hp to show off against any car in its class if i need it- IM not paying 40,000 for a car to rough house it --not this car!!!!!! Then you bring up blindspots and killing yourself --you gotta be kidding---all camaros are like this--you definately arent an enthusiest--- good drivers over the years learn to drive with blindsposts they are concienous enough to look when backing or changing lanes-buy using what they have side mirrors--rearview mirrors --looking over your shoulders etc--an if you still arent sure do it slowly til you know you are in the clear--im now driving a 1994 camaro convertable --with the top up there are huge blind spots---i havent had one accident not ever a fender bender allin all there were some things the reviewers didnt like 1. trunk opening to small i agree. but if you read it clearly camaro provides a folding back seat which goes thru the trunk 2. to much plastic on the interior again I agree--this could have been better---but this is a muscle car not a lexus. 3. of course the blind spots --which any good driver can adopt to 4the only bad performance --was the skid pad could of be slightly lower--since im not racing my car which i believe most arent taking it to a track i say big dealll!!!! 5. the front seats dont automacticaly go forward to make it easier to access the back seat 6. the steering wheel being a little large These are nit picking---i gaurantee you if a person paid 300,000 for a car hed find something wrong with it |

Just goes to show you that what GTO is saying is a great point. You may want to visit the dealer a couple of times regardless of the car to see if it really is the one for you.

2,914 posts on this site and you are going to let a few reviewers personal preferences effect your decision? Wow.

So to answer your question, yes I am going to pay attention to the reviewers. I won't solely base my decision on their reviews, but I would read them all, and at least be armed with more information than if I hadn't read them.

By all means people should read and consider reviews of the car. Some people should wait until they get to drive the car before they order or decide to buy. |
