After watching this review I went to the dealership and did a test drive. Needless to say I went home with the Camaro that night! I got the black on black with the tinted windows and it looks sick.. I was really shocked with the power this V6 puts out..

[@Luis_elbori71]

Nice! I want ro get one Also in black if not in red v6 too

[@mattiariva8416]

HI Rob, I'm an italian guy and I Live in Italy. I'm keen on American cars, especially sedan. I Saw a lot of american tests drive, but yours videos are better because you put your passion in theese reviews. Keep it up, approved!

[@TheTestDrive]

mattia riva thanks! I'm glad you liked it and I really appreciate the comment 👍

[@whitedovetail]

I just purchased a 2018 RS (Red Hot). This car was a rental out of Georgia and had

[@muffielee71]

Drove a 2001 Camaro for 16 years and loved it. No major issues just age and wear and tear. Bought a 2018 4 months ago transmission already went up and dead battery. Very disappointed with GM.

[@TheTestDrive]

wow that sucks, at least it's under warranty

[@muffielee71]

[@sandman90day17]

i call B/S... you haven't replied to any of the comments... you are just a troller putting out fake news😃

[@sandman90day17]

again.... BULLSHIT☝

[@ccol009]

I gotta 2017 Chevrolet Camaro RS in Nightfall Gray Metallic color. I got the Double Bar 5 spoke rims! With the sunroof feature! AND I LOVE IT! It is so nimble, quick and light on its feet. They’re affordable, if YOU want one save money, grow your wealth and get one! Whether it be the 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder (RS/V6), or the Big V8 (Camaro SS 455 hp & Camaro ZL1 650 hp) they are all Great cars whatever YOUR preference is!

[@cnnlive10]

GM is doing good! I test drove a 5th generation with a 6-speed manual and really enjoyed the car. The motor would out-right scream! I wish that GM could have had a higher revving 3.6l that would do something like 7.5 to 8k!

[@christianslense455]

Awesome review I have the 2lt v6 manual. Car is a visceral experience to drive. Your enthusiasm is understood . I'm happy driving again. What a trip this ride can give you. It's a memorable experience every time I drive it. Im friends w my car😋 and it's a bad ass friend to have😎

[@paulkennish773]

Just came across this. Great review. We have a 2021 RS Wild Cherry V6. Summer use only for us and enough room for the 2 of us and 2 Border Collies in the back seat. Makes the 2 hour drive to our weekend getaway so much more fun. We now pretty much always take the winding back roads as the car handles so well.

[@alanr225]

I recently upgraded from a Sentra 2013 (which was a piece of crap) to a 2016 Camaro 1LT and I am loving it. I am looking to get a v8 in the future, but for now. I am definitely having fun driving my camaro. I'm not a big guy so I'm comfortable in the camaro. I test drove the challenger 2015 sxt and a 2016 charger sxt before I made up my mind on getting the camaro. I did like both, but the camaro just felt fun to drive and had everything I was looking for in a car for a basic trim model car. My dream also was to always own a camaro because I just loved the way they looked. Great review!

[@TheTestDrive]

Alan Romero LOL the Sentra might not be the most fun but they are supposed to be pretty good on gas! I agree with your thoughts on the Camaro--congrats on the purchase--it was a fun car to drive and is definitely my favorite V6 in this class. 335hp naturally aspirated is really good. And you get a lot for the money. Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video 👍

[@thunderkiss0000]

I have a 1lt also and I love it to death I'm running straight pipes right now it sounds really good but mine is a manual

[@TheTestDrive]

I would love to hear it straight piped! It sounds great as it is; I'm sure the straight pipe is sick. Would have loved to drive this in a manual. Not only for the performance but also the seating position is ideal for a manual.

[@thunderkiss0000]

The Test Drive it sounds better as a manual for sure 👍👍it feels like driving a street legal Indy car!!

[@Low7711]

I'm also hoping to get one this week. How much was your camaro if u don't mind me asking

[@johnspence2630]

Ok, i going to give you your credit, for by far the hands down best review of this 6 gen camaro. There was nothing about this review i did not like, nothing, infact, i couldn't, do a good a job as you. I, m hunting the market for a 16 camaro rs v6. My brother drives a 17 rs v6 , same package as the one in the video. I, m sold. Thank you. The visibility is not, a deal breaker for this car, and you stated that you can live with it. Good damn job. I,ve now subscribed so i will be looking for more content, keep them coming.

[@jasonpeterson8170]

As a man 5 8 I think the back seats are actually not that bad. That sad I'll just be putting my kid back there haha!

[@ZGhost74]

Just a note on what you reviewed and for the viewers. Gages are electronic but they look real. You can switch them from miles to km.

[@tomasvega4569]

I have a 2018 camaro v6 redline edition I love it. had it for tow months now very fun to drive, love the video

[@TheTestDrive]

tomas vega thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! The redline edition looks awesome. And I really was impressed with this V6!

[@simplybuilt_1708]

I got a 2016 Rs v6 Want a few tips for a good exhaust without spending too much money ? Remove the muffler and the secondary cats. It pops and crackles and sounds amazing !

[@tomasvega4569]

Josue Reyes thanks man but the redline comes with a quad tip exhaust it sound really nice. I have heard it with no cats sounds nice too 👊

[@tonye2920]

tomas vega i have a white redline edition as well. They look so good

[@tomasvega4569]

Tony E congrats man and yea they do love them

[@FruitdrankTV]

If you slam them around in Sport mode you engage Performance Shift Mode on the V6. If you think sport is fun you haven't seen shit yet.

[@scottscott5827]

The RS Package has 20" rims. Buy four (4) 18" rims and four (4) snow tires to drive on snow.

[@smithman013]

I'm loving mine so far!

[@jasmineford6905]

I got this same car and I love my car so much it’s the best car ever I thank god for I love my camaro v6 rs and it’s red just like could ask for nothing better 🙏🏽 BEST CAR EVER

[@Mynameisnotowen]

put that thing in sport!

[@TheTestDrive]

Redeyez I would keep it in Sport forever! No other way to drive it! So fun and sounds really good.

[@soniik2239]

Awesome video man 👍👍

[@johnspence2630]

Take it over bmw 435 anyday. My brother has the 2017 v6, and it,s a great car.

[@NashGorman]

Great video, but there would probable be a bit more space in the back if the seat wasn't all the way back... no hate tho lol

[@TheTestDrive]

Thanks! And yes I sit pretty far back haha

[@DB-rd6uy]

Those rear end lights look like something from some European model car

[@jacobpearson4353]

I raced a tuned v6 with CAI and exhaust in my 2008 mustang gt with cai bigger throttle body and exhaust and from a roll it was a great race but from a dig it doesn’t get off the line very well was 3 car links ahead at the quarter mile mark in the 40 rolls would only win by a fender

Dose it have a spare tire kit?

[@DavidMartinez-qt8rv]

I have one in black but looking in to getting it tuned soon for personal reasons hehe

[@roscoe3196]

Will an 18" mini spare tire (taken from a 2012 Camaro) work on a 2018 Camaro (for emergency purposes)?

[@W0rld_Toor]

Just bought a 2016 i4 RS package (manual) and I'm loving it. Great car for great price and the RS package really makes the car standout so much more.

[@TheTestDrive]

I bet it's awesome in a manual. I think a manual 4-cyl might be more fun to drive than an automatic V6, and agreed that the RS package looks so good for very little money

[@W0rld_Toor]

The Test Drive yup the drive is really fun, and the turbo lag that people have their doubts about is actually just perfect as well in my opinion. I wouldn't have it any other way

[@ms3ben]

Convertible helps the visibility issue

[@DarkKnight-767]

Yeah. But girls and lady-boys drive convertibles.

[@joey1142]

wtf does 1lt and 2lt and all that shit mean

[@CJ2K]

Basically just the difference in design with the 1LT you get cloth seats and all that with the 2lt you get leather seats, just a difference a design that’s it

[@nimishparkhi180]

Hello ! Does it has high maintenance and repair costs ? What are major problems that would be commonly faced in 3 years of ownership of 2018 model?

[@tch4577]

Test drove the '18 Camaro V6 automatic. Didn't like it has laggy acceleration. The Ecoboost Mustang was quick off the line as you step on the gas. This could be due to the Ecoboost Mustang's having greater lower end torque than the Camaro.

[@jaymuzikelsensacional]

in a drag race the Camaro would beat it by a car lenth

[@mahanaimrobles206]

Your problem was that you tested the automatic 😷

[@kasane3757]

They should have V6 with a turbo and then supercharged v8 then a twin turbo v8 options

[@hunteraltman4762]

Maybe in the future you'll get your turbo v8 from Cadillac

[@amuroray88]

I don't get V6 muscle cars. They are more money than Japanese tuners, less modifiable, and slower. At least with the 4 cylinder turbo muscle cars, you can do a lot of stuff performance wise like people do to WRXs and civics

[@viddy228]

I never understand why people cover the plates like that..

[@erineojr103]

Yes sr apple car play🔥

[@jasonloar1060]

Might want to edit out the statement that the non GT mustangs do not have "track mode" (you're comparing a 2018 Camaro to a 2017 Mustang) . Any 2018 Mustang can have "track mode" which festures line lock and launch control.

[@TheTemplarnight]

my Grandma's 2015 ecoboost has a track mode lol, so fairly sure they all have it ecoboost wise.

[@blizobraskobaby2478]

I drove one of these. Always been a GM guy but I went with the challenger for the retro look and cause I'm a fat f*** Lol. Btw you look like Johnny Knoxville, brah 😂😂

[@TheTestDrive]

Blizo Brasko Baby! Dude nobody can get in and out of this car easily - when I first opened the driver door I'm like "wow this is small!". The Challenger is awesome and definitely a lot more room. And I dont see it as much but I have heard the Johnny Knoxville thing before LOL

Currently own a 6th gen v6 2lt. It's crazy how small the interior is considering how big the car is. My friends FRS is roomier inside lol

[@SteevK69]

@@TheTestDrive If it was a 2LT, it would have programmable entry/exit setting in seat memory, where it can move all the way back... Also, would have had blind-spot monitors (should be standard) and heated/cooled leather seats, bigger screens, HUD, dual zone climate ctl... (sure I'm leaving something out)

[@davydabutcha7839]

Just got myself one for my first car! Took it for a test drive yesterday and it was so much fun!!

[@OChouseDRIVES]

Just got a 2023 Camaro v6 in C8 Rapid Blue. The car is way cooler than I previously thought. The V6 exhaust sound is killer. I had a Z28 Camaro in the mid-90’s. The V6 sounds better and is faster, but I should expect that since the GM engineers did a great job. (RIP Camaro 2024)

[@TheGardenOfLife]

So you’re telling me that a Camaro has no room in the backseat and poor visibility🤣🤣 I used to believe all these reviews about the visibility and then I drove one and didn’t have any issues whatsoever, it was my first time driving in a sports car and didn’t have a single issue with visibility, if you know how to look out your window or use the rearview mirrors then you’ll be fine

[@LarryRichelli]

I bought the exact same car. Love it! Had the hood blacked out and dipped the wheels black.

[@DiegoAndresNL]

I’ve had my 2017 V6 camaro for 2 years and it’s fun! But I think it’s time to step up to something faster lol

[@John-rf4kb]

The 0-60 was inaccurate cause you had wheel slip and your traction control kicked in. You can see the TCS lights on the dash when you punched it.

[@M4B21S88]

yup there's a bit of a delay upon take off due to that. THIS specific run was a 6.6 run.

[@NeoxUnderxGOD]

I figured lol I thought it would be a little lower than that.

[@michaelcloyd2495]

I want they same exact color if I ever get a 2018 Camaro

[@andreschavez7815]

My friend hates this car because it has the same 0-60 as his dad's Charger rt

[@erikzakharyan4313]

I hope they will keep naturally aspirated v6 forever

[@TheTestDrive]

Erik Zakharyan I hope so too. I’m not particularly impressed with the turbo four that’s offered and this V6 sounds really good.

[@NBASFAN]

But if they want to keep the V6 for another generation, they probably have to look into turbos. Keep in mind Ford just discontinued their V6 Mustangs and put stick with the turbo 4. Here's the thing though. Turbo 4 makes a lot of good performance numbers and the low end torque makes city driving and overtaking a blast. The V6 you just have to rev it a bit harder and sometimes it's annoying for just a takeover. But the sound of V6 beats turbo 4s any day.

[@erikzakharyan4313]

AutoBum i heard that there will be 2019 camaro rs lt1, lt2 and lt3. I was hopping that lt1 and lt2 would be naturally aspirated and more powerfull but for lt3 twin turbo v6 from ats v

[@NBASFAN]

Erik Zakharyan that's a good competitor for German cars if they go with twin turbo V6 just like the C43.

[@erikzakharyan4313]

AutoBum yea and the hp would have been 465hp from cadillac

[@abeeftec]

It looks like a second faster than what everyone is posting. Like they dont know that you start counting at ZERO, not One. But funny thing. The 4 banger is the same speed. Maybe even faster. That Launch is silly because its actually faster from 0-60 then from a rolling 5 MPH start.

[@mattm3843]

I watch you step on it through 1st and second and when it shows the speed its only 60ish thats embarrassing, get a ss save yourself the embarrassment of losing a race.

[@tlaw53montecarloss]

I test drove many of these and then ended up buying a convertible one to get rid of that blind spot. Not a daily driver weekend car

[@jrelgran1on1]

For, me the v6 didnt feel stable at higher speeds. Did anyone else have the same experience? The visibility is terrible in camaros thats a fact. Blindspot monitoring is a must!

[@patton60]

The seats look like you have to lean way back in them. Is that the normal sitting or can they be adjusted to be more upright?

[@norwegianblue2017]

I believe they started using the 10-speed that is shared with the Mustang in 2020.

I have a 2014 v6 Camaro and as well all agree so fun to drive! But in the future definitely shooting for a SS or even a ZL1!!

[@TheTestDrive]

Jonathan Downey for sure I mean a V8 Camaro is sick (and not crazy expensive for the amount of power) - but I’m impressed at how good the V6 is for what it is. Much better than the Challenger and Mustang V6 in my opinion.

[@cnnlive10]

I have the SS version and it is heads above more powerful but I would almost buy the v-6 for that motor alone. Hard to find a high revving v6 that sounds like that. I wouldn't be surprised to see a twin turbo version of the 3.6l in a mid engine corvette soon...

Crappy visibility and why bother with back seats. Bad design that sacrifices practicality for looks. Like sitting in a pill box.

Kind of surprised they don't offer a track or drag mode in the Rally Sport. Love those options in my EcoBoost. And the 350 foot pounds of torque..
