Stock turbos break. I’m happy with my 2019 Camaro SS. It’s a beast. I got it brand new at 7 grand more then the base turbo Camaro. Although what appeals to me about the turbo LE. Is the ability to rev it out. That’s it.

[@justmy2cents_]

Some ppl are forgetting that some of us live in the real world & truth is there's a lot of young ppl who love the Camaro v8 but they can't afford it! So Chevy was actually smart enough to create a vehicle that'll let then have a similar experience like the big boys but on a budget! Great idea & execution on their part! Not a bad package either!

[@rogerj412]

The lighter weight and sticky compound tires make the difference on tighter tracks. Ability to carry more speed on turn in, at the apex, and corner exit makes up for the loss in HP. It really is just that simple. I am admittedly not a huge fan of GM products but I could see myself buying one of these if I had the money and didn't need a larger car or truck.

[@jjs777fzr]

I’ve always been a v8 guy starting in my teens in the 80’s. After gaining much respect for the turbo Buick I think Chevy did great by adding this as an engine option. Whats even better is the performance parts they have thrown at the overall vehicle. Can’t wait to add one of the these to my collection.

[@ryanmcewen4025]

Thank you TFL and Nathan for taking the time to review this car when most other KZbin automotive channels chose to ignore it. Those that have driven GM Alpha-platform cars know that Alpha sets the standard for balanced, precise and predictable handling. Quick steering, strong brakes with good feel and expertly tuned dampers provide a rewarding driving experience. The 2.0L engine is not as strong as the Mustang’s 2.3L, but it has much less lag. Having driven a Cadillac CTS with this engine, I am confident that the power and torque available can easily create conditions that likely exceed the skill levels of most drivers. In other words, it’s a lot of fun. No doubt the larger engines are more exciting, but as Nathan suggested, this is a lot of performance in a quality package for a reasonable price,

[@nothingbutfaxx]

I bought a camaro 2.0 and have been driving it for 6 months. I slightly have mixed feelings with it because the reputation of the Camaro should always have a v8. The positive side is that I get to daily drive it everyday, not worry about the costs of maintenance, gas mileage and monthly payments. Also my mindset was to keep it as long as I can and not worry about spending much as it gets old. Don’t worry guys, if you like gas mileage and a Camaro, get this. If you’re concerned more on performance, get the SS or SS 1LE and ZL1. I’m just hoping people will stop the hate on the 2.0 and v6 coz we still represent one car brand and model, a chevy Camaro 😉

[@jehl1963]

I had a rental Camaro last year with the 2018 4-cylinder turbo engine. I was pleasantly surprised by it's performance (both engine and chassis) even though it did sound like a vacuum cleaner. As a substitute for a V8 I doubt that it will satisfy. But being a Porsche guy (and a life-long Chevy disdainer) I see it more of a successor to the 944 turbo concept. I could picture a lot of people with slightly more modest budgets finding an enjoyable and fun to drive car. If you show up for a track-day or auto-cross, you won't be embarrassed, but will still get ~30 MPG on the drive home.

[@Operafiend22]

Not a fan of the new front facia

[@boinknook]

It's powered by the 2.0T LTG. I have it in my equinox except it's 20hp less. I can't believe how heavy these SUVs are. I went to a 3.8 L Impala to the 2.0T and it still feels underpowered. My old 3.8 kicked butt, but then again the V6 was twice the size of the 2.0T. V8's, V6's and 4's NEVER feel the same. It's that old adage- bigger is always better.

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

When I use to sell Chevrolets, we had a few 2.0L Turbos on the lot and one was a blue convertible, it was so quick light and fun. Yes it doesn't have the noise and grumble of the V8 (it is not a sports car unless it has one is what most people say), but for every day driving, it is nimble on the backroads and has good acceleration off the line as well especially since it is lighter. I am not a audiophyle so that lack of V8 grumble doesn't bother me. I wouldn't mind having one of the 2.0L 4s in a convertible. I can't drive a stick, but for those that can and want a bigger car than the Mazda Miata (like Roman) and cost about the same this 1LE pack on the 2.0T would fit the bill. Nice "Quick" review Nathan, thanks for taking us along and do like that Orange color like you do. :)

I don't know about you. But if you are a fan of the Camaro the Chevrolet Camaro. I think what Chevrolet needs to do in my opinion. Is to make the Camaro more upscale and more luxury oriented. For the sophisticated buyer. With Burl Walnut trim. Polished aluminum wheels. Full plush leather. Heated rear view mirrors. Non turbo 4-cylinder engine and automatic. Redesigning to a Front wheel drive layout. A more domesticated personal luxury Coupe feel. With a polished aluminum band around the steering wheel. Included a part of leather luggage package by by Tiffany and Company. And leather and chrome accent pieces for a more elegant appearance.

[@gmman010983]

I like the looks, it looks different from when they first showed the refresh a while back. People whining about it now but will warm up to it later. With that said I'll pass on the 4cyl and take the V6, driven both and it's no comparison for smoothness and refinement!

I'd rather get a base v8 over this personally. The chassis and the engine are the best foundation. You can tweak tires and suspension later if you are worried about track duty.

[@automotiveguru6961]

I don’t like a 4 cylinder camaro it’s just not right i would have to differ camaro should go back to the 350 Chevy V8 as the base engine NOT A V6 AND 4 banger

[@pluggodtv1307]

EdMiF yes performing it’s better

[@SSDracerSD]

It's interesting.. but I just picked up a new 18 ss a few months ago for 37k. All I cared about was the LT1, magnetic ride control, active exhaust and either blue or black. Unless your tracking this car every weekend, a popping v8 is so much rewarding.

[@ducfandan1117]

I have been a GM fan for a long time, and the 5th and 6th gen Camaros were fantastic... but holy crap they ruined the fascia of the 2019. 🤢 But the engineering? The chassis, power plant options, and so forth are very good. From a purely technical side, I’d do a V6 1LE. Enough power, sounds good, great balance, and the 1LE bits give it a genuine performance improvement on track and winding roads. If you’re on more of a budget, or just want something more practical for the daily commute, the turbo 4 is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

[@ItsMeSpiritual]

imo the 1LE package is a pure up sell on i4 and v6 models. Also since owning a 6th gen and going to meets and just being in that community, I've only ran into 2 people who track their camaros. An SS and ZL1 1LE. people dont get how expensive it is (if you do it right) to go do a track day.

[@davidgalinat4257]

you can get a 2.0T in the Camaro since 2017.

[@9874561203]

What has been the biggest contributor to the Camaros performance 2016+? The handling... Where did they get such a good chassis and drop some weight along with it? Not by themselves, but from Cadillac.

This car is super ugly. Never really been a Ford or Chevy fan but I’ve watched every car change over the years and this by far is the worst refresh

[@foxwithshades7080]

To you sure. I hated the 2010 mustang when I first seen it still hate it. Do not get me started about late 90s early 2000s cars to they made them all look like cheap trash sedans.

the people who say anything about it being a 4 cylinder are usually the people who drive rust bucket cars

[@matthewwheeler7499]

This 4 cylinder thing reminds me of the old Camaro Berlinetta days. I believe no "muscle car" should have a 4-cylinder or a 6 cylinder.

[@automotiveguru6961]

Matthew Wheeler completely right with you on that!!

[@Omega_TTRS]

The Camaro has never been a muscle car, however.

[@DaDeCodeIsTruth]

Well you're in luck, because the Camaro (nor the Mustang or Challenger) were EVER muscle cars. They are all and only ever have been Pony cars. The only historically true muscle car still around today is the Charger.

[@pmscalisi]

Get out of the 50's Matthew.

[@raygoza91c]

Kinda want one. It looks fun to drive. It actually looks pretty good too. Im a fan of the refresh. Its not as good as the early 6 but its still cool. And for the record the camaro always handled well.

[@awdtrailbossgt]

Rather drive this then a Civic Type R front wheel drive.

[@kenmunoz8517]

I love this combination! Small displacement turbo, manual tranny, SS handling package, a ‘real’ drivers car. Without driving one it seems ideal.

[@motorsportz8040]

First the new 2017-2018 camaro looked like an asian car. Now it really looks like an asian car!

[@wwjnz9263]

I dig it, but the smallest engine I would take is the V6. Still, it's good to see the I4T got the 1LE option.

Hopefully the aftermarket will support it with intake, exhaust and a tune to push it over 300HP.

[@hochhaul]

LMAO not before Ford. Their stock lost half its value over the last 4 years despite selling all those trucks and mustangs. Pathetic.

[@Minecraftizawsom]

@@hochhaul you're a pessimist if you think the value of Ford is solely based on its stock

[@hochhaul]

@@Minecraftizawsom Their stock value is a barometer for indicating the health of their business and so far it's quite accurate. Down 47% Since July 2014 and Hackett told investors things will get worse before they get better. It's going to cost over $10 billion to "turn the company around" and the plan includes ending production of all sedans and cutting costs of the mayerials in their products across the board. He wants to cut the number of configurations available for their vehicles (the biggest selling point of the F-150 is its configurability), and their only progress in pure electric vehicles is a concept rendering of the silhouette of a vehicle they were going to call the Mach 1 even though it is planned to be a crossover SUV not a sports car. They're losing money in Europe and in the Asian Pacific. Even FCA sold more cars than Ford last month. And despite selling nearly a million F-series trucks each year, the financial health of the company is so poor there are rumors they may have to end their special dividend. And the Ford fans on here are so blinded and ignorant, they seem to think GM is the one at risk of a bankruptcy.

[@mr.boostang2064]

Chevy and Ford need to make those 4cyl sound good so it can fit the personality of the car. Older Toyotas and Subarus had deep sounding 4cyl that add character to the car they were in, so I know it can be done again with these newer cars.

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

Buy a real sports car. Buy a V8. I was a long time Chevy guy but I would buy a Ford Mustang or Dodge Challenger over this generation's Camaro.

[@yohazem1]

Camaro has two V8 offerings(LT1 and LT4)

[@hochhaul]

Barack Smith - LMAO so you say "buy a real sports car" and then proceed to suggest two much worse handling cars? The 6th gen Camaro runs circles around the Mustang and Challenger when it comes to handling and performance. The 2.0T is a cheap base engine, just like the Duratec V6 offered in the S550 Mustang currently.

[@vegasbab.y3740]

To me this new Camaro looks more better and less boring to look at than the mustang. The mustangs style has never really changed. It’s stayed the same look. They need to make a difference, they need to redo the entire mustang from ground up so it can stop its handling problem.

I like the way it looks, no way there fooling me with that 4 banger turbo. It doesn't matter you will indeed regret not getting the V8 no matter the cost. Just buy a used one but do it right from the get go. People will say some people don't need as much power as the V8, lol because you haven't driven the V8 and just making excuses. I use to sell these cars and lost count how many times people regreted buying anything but the V8. Trying to bring it back the next day week or month trading it in, too late then and need a shit load down, lost too much value.
