How it scores for you10 scores
A sharp-handling RWD muscle coupe that thrills through corners but pays for it with a cramped cabin, firm ride, tiny trunk, and poor visibility.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 8 recalls was serious. About 7% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.
No overall NHTSA crash rating yet, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,900 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 39% of cars we track.
9.1 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 30% of other coupes we track.
Notoriously tight interior: cramped rear seats nearly unusable for adults, small 9.1 cu ft trunk, and difficult entry/exit due to high beltline and small windows.
6th-gen Camaro is widely praised for sharp handling, precise steering, and balanced RWD chassis, among the best-driving muscle coupes. Base 275hp turbo-four is modest but the platform is excellent.
Offers standard infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and available driver aids, but the aging interior and limited screen size are segment-typical, nothing standout.
Firm sport-tuned ride and cramped cabin with poor outward visibility hurt daily comfort. Known for tight, low-slung seating typical of aggressive muscle coupes.
Typical resale value for a coupe.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
