16 and I just got this car yesterday. It handles incredibly smooth, the right side blind spot is the only problem I've had in a perfect car. This car may have turned me into a life long Chevy man.

The HUD (heads up display) is very nice! I have a 2012 2LT. I've never looked down at my speedometer. Every car should have a HUD.

[@flipfloplogic]

I bought a 2012 2LT with the RS package yesterday. I stepped up from a kia forte koup SX. I had a nice car, now I have a great car. One huge difference is the quality. The camero feels solid, sturdy and built to last. The kia knobs, stalks and doors all felt inferior. I have a car that feels it could last years. My cam is red with a black stripe across the top.

[@oppressedwillbeput2rest481]

These cars suck if you live in the Midwest ...but in texas or california this car is heaven......

[@jollygamerguy]

Why is that

[@jollygamerguy]

Its the same car no matter where you go...

[@gokuabsalon3950]

In just trying to look like a badass

[@chevyboi651990]

Agree

[@user-tz2gf2qr8q]

Because in Midwest it’s hard asl to drive in the winter that’s why if you ever see they only drive these during the summer in Midwest

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@aezhob Those are the adjustments to the Heads up display. The round buttone scrolls you through the different views on the windshield and the rectangular button adjusts the image up and down on the windshield, based on your sight level. Good question!

[@robertonorambuena6059]

Music And Camaro is the perfect combination! :')

[@Mr2crazybyong]

playing retro music in a retro styled car.. perfect.. i could imagine you making this video for 1969 camaro when it was brand new back then..

[@HaltFFA]

This was my first car I LOVED IT!

[@Dtx.coyote]

for much u bought it ?

[@Liquer23]

Dude, same here! altho mine was v8. Got it as my first car and even practice drove it during the driving school hours(much to my dads dismay LOL) It was my motivation to fix the license and no, my dad didnt pay for it hehe

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@WTDQ8 You're tough WTDQ8! The first Z/28 Camaro in 1969 had a 302 V8 engine with an official rating of 290 HP. This V6 at 323 HP runs circles. We prefer the V8 like you though.

[@cristhian.6843]

que hermoso carro!!! algun dia espero poder hacerme con uno :')

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@souljasims33 On the 1LT you would add the "Rear Vision Package" it's standard on 2LT and 2SS. Thanks for your question.

[@dbzdrawerssj]

i need an advice,is it too much 50 k miles on a camaro,or she will last much longer??

[@dixinormus3282]

What year? And what engine? Typically 12-15k miles a year is average and the more cylinders the less wear on the engine, a V6 with 50k miles will cause more wear than a V8 with the sames miles, with proper maintainence

[@LB-pt6vr]

It’s Cool

[@EsparzaPierre]

@creativetoms the car is automatic. in order to use the paddle shifters you can switch to the M (manual mode).

[@Forest_Son_]

Lol I'm buying one almost 10 years later

[@RickPena777]

I'm at 96,500+ mi. Still going although I had to replace the fuel pump and was it a hassle! The entire undercarriage has to come off to replace it! (RS PKG). Other than that and major trouble with the AC is still handles like new. Love my RS. Now that the Camaro line will discontinue in 2024, I wonder what the value will be for them.

I just bought 2012 used Camaro Cabrio. How much fuel consumption should I expect per 100KM.?

[@flipfloplogic]

The HUD is fantastic! Its spoiled me. Its so nice to have. I've owned my 2LT almost a month and I've never looked down at my speedometer.

[@ltcoldfire]

Agreed. I have a nice '06 Mustang GT, but I check out all the Camaros too, they're both awesome. I'm a big fan of the new Challengers as well.

[@wilmervalles1509]

Everything is after market installations. It's also pretty loud upon start up.

[@motobox1232]

you are correct, although i do believe all front discs are.. can't think of one offhand at least in the last 15 years

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@JAAPJXBIT Those are aftermarket. However, with OnStar's Turn-by-Turn Voice Navigation, each Camaro has navigation ability.

[@alboz4life313]

[@angelsfanaj27]

this sat will be a month since ive had my silver 2012 camaro 2LT with RS package; incredible vehivle with a powerful 324 hp V6 engine great mileage great handling great interior overall perfrct car

[@pwengineering9070]

This 2012 looks great in black. Would look better with those wheels polished, not chromed. The 2014 with the new tailites and the new front upper grill/intake which is about half as tall as the 2013 and earlier grill. If you get a 2014 next to a 2013 or earlier you can really see the size difference and the 14 has a larger bottom intake than the earlier model Camaro.

[@themystery7141]

For some reason my camaro wouldn’t start from the remote; however, the signal lights flash, but it doesn’t crank.

[@Lumbre1969]

I only saw 3 new feature/upgrade items, leather dash, bigger shift paddles and I like the backup camera. For the differance in price of around 3k~ the person who bought this could of had the 2SS...plus good resale value. I know you are making a sale but you would not buy this for yourself and if you did you would regret it.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@LmElite The changes are definitely subtle enough that a 2011 owner may think the same way you are about the 2012.

[@mattkroening7964]

"gonna show you under the hood and tell you a bit about that" *Opens trunk* ...DAMN WHAT AN ENGINE

[@rizemin6533]

How did you get a 2012 camaro in 2011...

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@kennethstr Manual transmissions do not have the Remote Start feature.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@kontrix1 Depends on the manufacturer and model. They are not all vented. Thanks for your comment.

[@lfsracer79]

"Disc brakes in the front and rear." Wow that's amazing!

[@DestructiveBurn]

He's just chilling inside because the car is playing good tunes!

[@Chrisell]

I do however love the back up camera, I had one in my Traverse and wish that Chevy would have put one in the earlier models as well. As anyone who has driven a Camaro knows that the A pillars as well as the blind spots are larger than your aver age car, but easily gotten used to after driving. Love my SS, but will be getting a new ZL1 when they start rolling out to dealers floors in a little over a year from now. They just announced that today.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@tven99 It's not bad. Pretty comfortable. Has a sports car ride though. You might want a 1lt with 18 inch rims with more profile and air to ride on if you're too concerned about the ride being too sporty.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@boomerang3600 My bad. You are correct! Chevy has added horsepower again! Thank you for your comment.

[@princess8082]

Chevrolet Camaro is my favorite car in the world.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@Bader88 There is a preowned Chrysler 300 SRT8 in the background, if that's what you're seeing.

[@seapeddler]

An engine without cast iron exh. manifolds is a welcome engine. I'd like to see higher seat bolsters on the seat and back portion to supplement the side impact airbags. They could be electric, of course, to ease ingress.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@Brightennn Actually, with OnStar, each Camaro has voice guided navigation with a subscription. GM gives you your first six months for free on new purchases.

[@MrSammyesparza]

This car is perfect for me. Has great power for a v6, premium sound,

[@flipfloplogic]

Chevy won a car design of the year award for the camaro. Camaros just look better and to lots of people thats all that matters.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@TheSpeedDemon5 Our navigation is voice guided through OnStar so you can keep your mind on your horsepower and not a 7-inch screen. It's there. It's practically invisible, but every Camaro has navigation capability with OnStar. It's like having a copilot in the car. Or like those front passengers in a rally race. We're there with Navigation!

[@threestripes333]

im 19, Im an intern and when i graduate i will be a class A Member of the PGA fully employed at a country club. i consider this to be affordable but not expensive. within a couple of weeks i will have a 2013 genesis rspec. My comment was originally intended to be a joke. but dont bash this kid because hes excited about getting this car for his birthday.

[@b.bowman6638]

I can’t get my remote start to work any help ?

[@JAAPJXBIT]

I have seen camaros with navigation touchscreens and they look pretty good, I wanna know if they are options to install or this is something you have to buy afterwards and get it installed in a different place than the manufacturer?

[@robertpage4892]

thanks my favorite is probably a Black camaro SS with White pinstripes

[@InvaderShift]

Well, as a consumer, I think the smart thing to do first is ask myself, how long am I planning to keep this car? If it is short, then that is when depreciation matters and I should look at other options. If I plan on keeping it until it breaks down, then depreciation really shouldn't matter. Personally, if I ever buy a car like this, I would keep it until it breaks down. I like to keep what I spend for as long as I can, that's just me though.

[@Lionsheartification]

nobody understands how much i want this car

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@711killerz Auto, but can be shifted in the "m" position, with the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@711killerz Place the Shifter to the "M" position at the bottom and then shift up and down through all 6 gears with the paddle shifter buttons located behind the steering wheel. Yes.

[@JPSaxMan]

Would someone be kind enough to explain to me the concept behind the paddle shifters and the floor mounted shifter? How do those work in combination? Never seen that idea before, thanks for some insight!

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@mothrabattra Glad you brought that up. We have a company that we use that makes a chrome upper and lower grille in the factory design. It looks great. It is exactly what you are talking about. I'll try to get an example for you. In fact, they also have a version that is a smoked chrome as well. Looks great!

[@FixMyAutos]

these cars have a option called paddle shifters look it up, yes cars can now be automatic and manual.

[@Itongski2011]

@KnorpelDelux you got it wrong... the SS is already around 39k and the zl1 is more than 50k

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@charredsoul Someday soon, we hope! The 2013 Malibu will access Pandora Radio and much more. Be sure to be watching out for that debut in February 2012-an early, but awesome release! We are very excited to see Chevy and GM release their new quality, selection and technology. Chevy has turned a corner and we really like their direction.

[@livecreator9486]

i think a v6 is good for those new drivers and v8 for those who are experiance and want to have fun.

[@jpmac098]

Because there aren't just manual and automatics anymore... There are manuals, automatics, sequentials, and double clutch. All of these except for manual gearboxes can be controlled automatically.

[@mrps3fan]

A 2012 model vs 2013 model isn't a fair comparison. And it's take more than just hp to get around a race track. And on what highway are you gonna get to 200 mph?

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@Giablo1 Yes, listen to the white camaro video. We give an example of the V6 exhaust note.

[@forever-and-a-day]

i need help im getting a 2012 camaro soon but what color should i get? metallic orange with silver stripes or red with silver stripes?

[@jazzfanz1234]

This is probably a really dumb question but can you turn it off after you turned it on with the remote start

[@StevenAbootman]

i just bought a 2013 2LT RS with he mylinkdisplay, badass car! 323 hp!

[@uoweme50]

If this car sounded like what started up at 6:00 than this would the best v6 I've ever heard.

[@GHLmusic]

actually its a dual transmission. it has the paddle shifters

[@evertrules24]

I just got my new camaro this past friday, the guy at the dealership showed me how to get music to play from my phone through bluetooth but I was too excited that I didn't pay attention. Could you maybe give explain to me how? I already got it connected to the cars bluetooth but can't seem to get music to play through the cars speakers. Gotta say its a big change coming from a 94 z28 to something like this.

[@TheDogsoldier117]

I've seen other camaros with the same mirror backup camera but it didn't show the yellow lines which show your path, so does it come with just this camaro from this dealership or can i find the same back up camera at other dealerships?

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@kodd13 That would add about $2,000 to the MSRP, then add DMV fees for your state.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@tripleheshy I was pretty retro looking. The new steering wheel is more modern. People have mixed feelings on it though.

[@HalomasterA69]

Is this car rlly quiet? Or does it make people hear the power under the hood? Im getting me one of these next year, and how loud is the engine? And ill probably make the exhaust louder , ill find a way:) great review!!

[@incarswetrust]

The 2012 Camaro dual overhead cam V6 has 323 horsepower by the way.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@bigzbert Expense is a factor. However, the new V6 has more horsepower than the original V8 Z28.

[@banddude121]

@pato7villa It's 160. Why would you jump from 140 to 180? Notice it goes up in 20s not 40s.

[@OdonnellChevyBuick]

@matrox We will shoot the exhaust on the next 6 cylinder Camaro we place on KZbin. Everyone loves the sound note of the 6 cylinder engine and exhaust. In a way, its louder than its V8 counterpart, on the road.

[@nyydwall]

@tksemipro Nowadays it totally is.... I was just thinking how about 10 years ago, it was a big deal that the LS1 Camaro was rolling with 305, and the WS6 Ram Air Trans Am with 320.

[@maximusleonidus7559]

I was stationed in Italy before, and I fully agree with you. Gas there is just crazy. Luckily we had some coupons to get a discount for us poor folks lol.

[@SJLGG]

Wish the Challenger's v6 had manual :I

[@loganator78r]

well it depends if you want a fast car then a v8 but if you want this car with good gas u should get the v6 so i dont know which one to get but gas these days is expensive also the v8 sounds like a beast compared to the v8 hope this helps you

[@Mikz0ne]

@mferguson1281 RS is just a PACKAGE! Rally Sport package...you can add it to the LT,2LT -V6 models and SS and 2SS -v8 models...not available for the LS though....

[@danielksd11]

whats the total price of the car? If I can not pay it all at a time, what options do i have?

[@jonathan1391544]

@coolsims94 if you keep it until it breaks down, that will be about 5 min

[@RebelDawg91]

i dont know whats wrong with the V6, since they been making them from the start along with the v8 option. the V6 has plenty of hp. its smaller to so it makes it easier to work on to. all it needs is a open air-intake, new exhaust+manifold, etc. and b4 you know it you got a car that has V8 power or more. along with the better gas mileage.

[@nysenvy]

I just got this exact one but manual and im freaking in love with my car

[@UberPwnageGuy]

are the seats leather, like total leather or just partial? Obviously depending on the specs. and which package is leather if any? (the Chevy site isn't very informative on concerning seats.)

[@Mr318live]

Maybe my car is super old now, but damn this car is loaded.

[@ericneils]

I know of no stock Honda from the show room that does 0 - 60 in 5.6 seconds. One of those "Tuners" with special Computer Control Chips and nitrous oxide supplements probably...However; I wonder how long those Fast and Furious Mod Tuners will run without winding themselves into pieces!

[@Lclozoya]
