New guy with questions!

Hello everyone Just registered and I am looking to buy a Camaro v6 1LS trim in the very near future and I just had a few questions. From one short guy to another I am 5'6'' and I have driven nothing but small cars (2004 pt Cruiser, 2010 Kia Forte EX) This is going to be my very first "Larger car" and sports car and I just wanted to know what you guys thought about 1. the blind spots 2. do you feel like your driving a big car? 3. for someone that isnt used to having power behind the wheel what do you think about it? 4. now that you have purchased it do you regret having it? Or do you just love it? I have been given a really good quote of 24k OUT THE DOOR for a 2013 Camaro and I am ITCHING to pull the trigger just want to have some perspective and some concrete information. Thanks everyone!

I have test driven one and I LOVED IT! I also just so happen to work for a used car dealership (a very large one hehe) and I get to drive them everyone once and awhile. But thought I would just get some insight from owners and see what they thought.

Blind spots can be an issue but i live with it and it doesn't bother me. I dont think it feels big at all, I LOVE the power and i don't regret it, i love it more and more everyday! I might look in to getting a used SS though, you will thank me later

NewCAMAROdude, CONGRATS on the ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wive's, husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Hi there NewCAMAROdude,

Very exciting news being in the market for a Camaro. It is a great vehicle. I recommend getting into a dealership for a test drive. I believe it's the best way to answer many of the questions you have. I can definitely help you out with that if you like. Please private message me your full name, number and zip code. I will then set you up with an appointment and you can take "the ride" you won't forget!

That's what I do
In all honesty, I don't think the blind spots are that big of an issue

Welcome to C5! You get used to the blind spots and small windows after driving it for awhile. I dont even notice any more and when I do its usually when I pull the car out of winter storage after not driving it for awhile. And I believe my car is worth every penny I am paying for it. I absolutly LOVE it!
