Is Camaro Visibility REALLY that BAD? | Owners Perspective

[@_checkit]

this guy is the type of guy that can live in an Amazon cardboard box and say "well, it's not THAT bad....." such a positive person 😁

[@NLM]

Lol

[@ariellascebeda9036]

still a good looking car no matter what and without the mods that could possible be in the way.. it’s a comfy car to drive!

[@NLM]

Yeah, the louvers add to the lack of visibility that is there but I think it’s worth it. Thx for the comment.

[@adrinz4870]

Totally agree! It's really aint that bad. My sister has a 6thgen convertible and that one is way worse

[@Angum0055]

I have a 2015 Camaro, and I have issues seeing the front of car, when going to drive thru fast food joints. Also when I make a left and there is an island or some kind of curb you really have to pay attention or else you might catch the curb. But like you said it is something you get use to, personally I think it makes you a better driver paying attention to the road behind you and and in front of you. One thing I did to help me out with the small window in the back was add a larger front mirror. However I do not recommend tint on the back window it sometimes hard to see at night or it's just pitch black.

[@NLM]

I agree it’s definitely not the best, but in the end, you get used to it. Thanks for tuning in! 👍

[@whyareyoureadingmyname5854]

Get some bubble mirrors. It'll help alot with blind spots

[@THE1MOOSEGaming]

The camaro visibility isn’t that bad once you get used to driving the car it becomes a thing you don’t even notice anymore

[@NLM]

Agreed, after a while it’s not a big deal. I feel extremely comfortable in mine. Thanks for the comment boss

[@kennylively6645]

Yes took about a month

[@reneesnyder7490]

I had a 2014 mustang for 2 years, then a 2016 challenger and now I drive a Camaro. The Camaro by far is the best of the 3.

[@NLM]

Wow, that’s cool to hear and kind of surprising. I have never been in a Challenger and probably would have guessed that. You have experience with all three so your opinion is very valuable. Very interesting! 👍

[@reneesnyder7490]

You do get used to it and you just have to learn to take your time and not just take off.

[@NLM]

Agreed, it just takes time and patience.

[@Jim-lm8qg]

How would you compare the three? I mean, what does the Camaro do better than the other 2?

[@GunzyHD]

@@Jim-lm8qg based on the comment, it seems that the camaro at the time was the best overall, but since then the mustang has introduced the 10 speed so im sure it changes things

[@VoicefulRiver]

I drive a convertible version. I think the front and rear visibility really aren't much "worse" versus other similar sports cars in terms of the important things you need to see, it just has pretty awful blindspots.

[@NLM]

For sure! I agree the front and rear visibility isn’t THAT bad compared to other sports cars, but like you said when you combine it with the blind spots, small mirrors, etc, it starts to become not so great. Still, not as bad as people make it out to be. Thanks for the comment!!

[@robbad8530]

I agree you just need to get used to it when i first time sit in the car i was suprised i cant see much but after a while its not that big deal

[@NLM]

Yes I agree, at first it’s something different than your used to but quickly it gets comfortable and easier. It takes time. Thanks for the comment boss!

[@victorkenarsy3024]

Depending on your financial situation there’s lots of coupes with good to great power, handling and visibility.

[@NLM]

Plenty of options for sure! 👍

[@Renteria0805]

The visibility is no where near as bad as people think, I got one not that long ago and got used to it really quickly

[@NLM]

Couldn’t have said it better myself boss. I had the same experience. It’s blown out of proportion and easy to adjust to. 💯

[@x10tho]

My boy Max! You never miss on the videos bro been watching before I even copped a Camaro, much love from Canada🐐

[@NLM]

Really appreciate my loyal subs especially since i’m small on KZbin. Much love bro, happy new year! Thank you!! 🙏

[@FacelessSped]

My experience from shifting from sports sedans to a Camaro 6th gen was pretty smooth. I think you just gotta get used to the front viability and it becomes second nature

[@leftlane1405]

I don’t want to get use to poor visibility. That’s no go for me.

[@austinstorie1558]

I went from driving a 2013 F150, super crew cab. Now a 2017 Camaro. I honestly haven’t had any issues personally. Only one blind spot is the left beam but all I do is move forward and usually I don’t even need to do that. Rarely have I needed to do anything extra

[@SpotEmDotEmm]

@@austinstorie1558that’s wassup , how tall are you?

[@ndogg20]

Sat in a showroom Camaro and immediately felt like one of those little old men trying to look over the steering wheel of a giant 70s Lincoln Continental. Then it dawned on me, I am getting old. Now I'll have to find a more user friendly but still bad-ass vehicle for my mid-life crisis.

[@NLM]

Haha. There is a lot better visibility in the Mustang, Challenger, or Charger. Just something to keep in mind. Thanks for watching 👍

[@tucoramirez9729]

If you kno how to adjust/use your mirrors,,and when parking turn you head ,,you'll be just fine,,this subject really is ridiculous for those of us that kno how to drive properly

[@NLM]

I do think its overblown I agree. It’s talked about so much as if you can’t see at all out of them LOL. But like you said if you are cautious and a good driver it should be no problem really.

[@tucoramirez9729]

@@NLM exactly!

[@brianferguson5747]

This is my favorite car and I try not to be bias but out of dodge ford and Chevy the Camaro is my favorite. The blind spots aren’t a big reason not to get the car out of the three. Obviously there’s some cons to all. Ford is just not my style but fun to drive. Dodge is just too wide and chevy is hard to see in some situations. But it’s all about knowing your car. Preference is also important so if blind spots are a reason for you then that’s fine. Just don’t knock it till you try it.

[@redline1916]

I've got a car even worse in visibility for anyone who is at the very least six foot, and you've likely never heard of it. Cimbria SS, it's a kit car, look it up and you'll see how badly sloped that windshield is.

[@NLM]

Never heard of it, I will look it up

[@eymi160]

LMAO i was sure that it couldnt be that bad, but the moment i searched it up i laughed, i have no idea how someone could manage to drive around like that. 😭😭

[@ABMTV01]

I’ve had my 14 camaro for about 8 months now and I got used to it within the first few days. Tho the only thing I’d have trouble with is reversing w/o the backup camera. I got lucky that the previous owner put an aftermarket one since the 1lt (yes it’s a v6 🙁) doesn’t have a backup camera from the factory so idk how I’d back out of crowded parking lots w/o it

[@charlesprovance570]

Mine is a convertible, problem solved 👍

[@NLM]

LOL yeah that will definitely help honestly. It will certainly help rear visibility when the top is down, thats for sure. + i’m pretty sure you can put the quarter windows down, is that true? And thanks for the comment man!

[@Jim-lm8qg]

Thank you for the video. When I went to test out a gen 5, the problem I had with the short windshield was not being able to see the stoplight when I'm first at a light. Any issues with that?

[@NLM]

On some lights occasionally that has happened but not really has it been a huge deal. I can only remember 2 or 3 times ever.

[@Poptartketchup]

As a Camaro owner it’s weird at first but definitely not a problem..

[@JimS870]

What about being first in line at a red light? When I tried one out I couldn't see the stoplight because of the short windshield.

[@NLM]

I haven’t really had too much of a problem with that, mainly the side pillars being so large. But I could see if you are under the light, that being a problem.

[@floydhelms44]

No, it's not. Just getting use to to a sport car. I own one .

[@NLM]

Agreed, it just takes time.

[@Dae2KTV]

Other than the visibility, how’s the maintenance and everything on the car? Would you recommend getting tints on the car?

[@NLM]

Do not have the car anymore but after two years of ownership, including oil changes it was around $1200 in maintenance. The car was pretty reliable. I personally like tints but wouldn’t go too dark.

Do they ever correct the visibility in the later models?

[@FL50ssp]

I've owned a SS 1LE for close to 5 years now and have had zero issues, including the visibility claim made by the media and internet keyboard warriors. Totally overblown and the go to for GM/Camaro haters to cover up the fact that their car of choice is not at the same level of performance (read not a straight line) compared to the 6th Gen Camaro. Lest we forget all of the mustnag issues over the past several years here is a brief summary. Blown engines, oil usage that is somehow acceptable and rationalized as normal for "race engines" (LOL right), locked rear ends, blown/inoperable transmissions, limp mode, overheating, sub-par braking, and finally crowd seeking feature when leaving car shows. Not to mention for all of these failings mustnag owners pay more than a comparable Camaro and still are at a disadvantage to the use of an inferior chassis (s550/s650) full of band aids in an attempt to compete with GM Alpha chassis. In the case of the mustnag/challenger, they do win when it comes to the number of grocery bags you can bring home from the grocery store. And we all know how important that is in a performance car.

[@CamaroThings]

I literally have never had any issue seeing out of these cars... the people who say it just don't own one or daily drive one.

[@thebeast9242]

I really wanted to get a zl1 or a zo6. So i test drove a camaro ss and as a 6’3 240 guy it was really hard for me to see. When I got in the vette is was a bit better obviously much lower. But still torn on what to get.

[@Isaac-dl7mz]

3:37 yeah it’s not just the Camaro with that problem I’m sure there’s a few cars with that issue but my Honda Civic i has an issue a while back where when I was turning to enter a the road I didn’t see a pedestrian that was standing directly near that spot from my pov driving and I almost hit them until my passenger pointed them out so yeah that’s definitely a bit dangerous depending how self aware one can be. I had a highlander before my civic and never ran into that issue due to more visibility I guess you could say but just would like to put that out.

[@NLM]

Yeah for sure a lot of cars can be like that just have to be extra careful! Happy thanksgiving.

Being able to judge the front end is the big issue, and Camaro is the only car which you cannot do that, hense the reason I've never bought one. You cannot judge the front end because you can't see it.
