How happy were you when bought your camaro and how happy are you now on scale of 1 to 10

10 out of 10 when I bought it .
6 out of 10 now .

there few reasons why I am not happy. I have only owned this car for year and half . 2011 camaro rs v6


1. My ac of this car is crap . idk if its out of air or thats how they are
2. My 4 gadgets right by gear dont work . it could be just the fuse .
3. the radio does not support ipod and it always give some stupid error . and I have also gotten my aux replaced twice now .
4. THE BIGGEST ONE IS THE PAINT QUALITY OF THIS CAR IS CHEAP . I HAVE LITERALLY 10 PLACES THAT MY PAINT IS CHIPPED .
if I will be paying 33k atleast give us a good quality paint .
I love my camaro , but gm are building these car way to dam cheap . I rather spend 33k on bmw 3 series . which I most likely will be my next car if i am spending 30 plus thousand

Welllllll....

I was a 10 out of 10 when I bought it and despite agreeing with some of the things you said, a year later I'm at least a 10 out of 10, I love my car.

I'm in Alabama, my ac blows cold cold. No problems with radio, no problems with my Android. Paint is rough though. No problems with the gauge cluster, but some of the trim inside is peeling up. But honestly none of that is too bad, or so bad anyway that I'm unhappy with the car. I've just accepted having crappy paint, I just wish I had accepted it before dumping $1000 into car care items.

I give 10/10 when i got it and 7/10 because now that I know about car mods it isn't perfect to me yet.

11 out of 10 for me! Still have my permagrin goin' strong. As far as paint issues, I clean the bugs off as soon as I can and I don't follow the car in front of me very close.

9/10, I wanted the 1LT but got the 2LS. The MyLink screen was very important to me, but I opted for the 2LS and saved around 3K, which I put towards bills.

Had mine 6 months, bought used, and I still get permagrin when I am behind the wheel. It spikes when I do a new mod and settles back down to the 10 of 10, but has never gone below. Never once have I wished for it to be different.

Even with the issues I've had I give it a soft 10 and could not see myself driving anything else in it's class.

Have you taken the time to go to the dealership and talk to them about your isssues? You haven't even taken the time to check the fuse for the console gauges yet you're complaining about it?

10 / 10 when I bought the car
7 / 10 after the AFM started to get on my nerves.
10 / 10 7 weeks old and I tuned it.
10 /10 still. Awesome piece of machinery. It's not perfect but I could spend 100K on a car and it would not be perfect either. For the price of this car in today's prices. It's pretty darn good.

10/10 it'll be 2 years this july 29th and not one problem. I don't know if every camaro has bad paint jobs but mine is real good, not one complaint about it and I get "nice paint" compliments here and there too. Guess I got lucky.
