2016 Chevrolet Camaro: First Drive

[@orval9325]

Born a Chevy man . I definitely prefer manual.. lot of fun , more power, quicker and better gas mileage.. I like your post though.

[@bk-wd4uk]

I appreciate the unbiased opinion. I have been viewing TestDrivenTV for a while now and opened my mind to many different makes through Sam's reviews. The reviews are to the point and camerawork is clear with a professional aptitude. - Great job Sam!

[@rkalla]

As someone *not* sitting in the driver seat, I appreciate the different across-the-spectrum comparisons to help give me a baseline.

[@balsero17]

Nice video, now let me scroll down the comments and look for that insecure guy with the "ew a v6" stories never fails lol, i got one of these in white and love it

[@cardo1111]

Excellent review, well-filmed and informative. Seems like the video could’ve been uploaded yesterday .

[@DubNationTrickshots]

This is such a great video, for a great car. I love my 2017. I've considered selling it, but nothing can beat it's purpose for me. Who needs BMW anyways?

[@mastergorem2]

I am glad you said to not move to another video because I was about to after realized it was a v6

[@xTouragx]

Great Review Sam...its eery when you bring up the BMW comparo...nice looking but minimalistic interior, clean exterior and excellent driving dynamics...The sound of the V6 is very impressive...so much that I wonder if its not worth that vs the V8 alone for the handling. Im a Ford guy too but I think this would be an upgrade over a potential Mustang purchase.

[@RootsandTendrils]

Thoughtful and thorough review Mr. Haymart, good work. The V6 Camaro does impress, smart savings in purchase price and insurance. Wonder to what extent using premium fuel would improve its performance? Did TestDriven give it a run with 93 octane?

[@dry509]

Have you tried the turbo 4 in the Camaro? Wonder if its as fun as the v6?

[@tomasnordin9778]

A good Review as usual,will you test the 4 banger version too in the near future ??

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Great review, Sam!

[@elliottmanning4116]

Great review Sam! Was that Mustang driver a snowbird?

[@thatjokerperson7062]

sounds better in person

[@b0bsaget007]

You said that it doesn't have Android Auto, but I test drove a 2016 and it did have it.

[@onlyoneromeo]

please test the 2.0 turbo

[@Juiccy_777]

Nice review, are you also going to review the v8?

[@TestDrivenTV]

+ANONYMOUS We hope one comes our way!

[@kurtarnold9690]

is this now a short wheelbase car?

[@johnblackmouth]

Lol I wonder what that "wow" at the end was about. What did the mustang driver do??

[@scottb5256]

how do you think visibility would be for someone short like me 5'4 ?

[@MD-vf7rs]

Scott B hey, i guess u bought the camaro.. if u did what do you rate it pls, im 5.4 too, in the market and confused between 18 ecoboost or an rs camaro ☺️

[@MrSinister89]

That was a huge diss right there! Saying the other V6 models are rental car quality compared to the Camaro V6. I mean common everyone has a dam V6 Charger so he just dissed everyone. I mean everyone is so in love with the Hellcat. But lets be real they all by a ricer V6 Charger.

[@JamesCilia73]

It's a pretty fitting car for you.

[@AlloyDiesel]

I'd buy it too! except I have kids. wish they'd put this drivetrain/chassis in an affordable sedan. Where are the Buick versions of the ats/cts/ct6?

[@TestDrivenTV]

+AlloyDiesel The Buick Avista concept from the Detroit Auto Show was this car in Buick trim, but a coupe. It the Avenir makes production, it would be exactly what you seek. The same engine will be turned sideways however in a number of GM front drivers though, including Chevrolet and Buick.

[@cereid85cr]

They did...the Chevy SS! (4door sedan)

[@_baller]

Get two cars bud

[@hmackprotection1]

Good review Sam, but please STOP mentioning the Challenger (America's LAST true production MUSCLE CAR) when you do reviews of SPORTS CAR like the Camaro, & the Mustang. Completely different types of vehicles.

[@misamisatv]

+H Mack As different as they are the Challenger competes for the same target consumer as the Camaro and Mustang, which is why they are often compared. I think it's time for Dodge to offer us something in the Sports Car segment other than the Viper. It would be nice to see the Challenger stop being a muscle car and move into the sports car category.

[@amiller2121]

Great review.

[@maximus9401]

How tall are you Sam? Would you say that height is a huge factor in comfort of visibility inside?

[@TestDrivenTV]

+maximus9401 He is about 5'-9". The seat has some range of height adjustment.

[@_baller]

Its nice but needs more side window and not as tall like the body is too boxy... think 3rd gen sleekness

[@camaro69green31]

Awesome video and review. People really need to appreciate this chassis. It doent get the kudos it deserves in any of its trim levels. It FLYS so far under the radar....too bad.

[@EdweeenR]

what was the msrp to this tester car? and thank you i really want to see if it fits my budget

[@TestDrivenTV]

+Edwin Rosa It's talked about in the video ;)

[@EdweeenR]

+TestDrivenTV yea thanks i noticed it after i wrote the comment lol, im looking for the best daily driver...no track days, do you have any advice between the ecoboost mustang, the camaro rs and the 370z nismo

[@MD-vf7rs]

Edwin Rosa hey what did you buy?

[@pontiacGXPfan]

hoping gm depreciation kicks in so I can go looking for this car

[@jeffk464]

I like the ATS better all the way around.

[@bigblockdodge745]

It looks like a nice car but for 35 thousand with a v6 they can stick it.I paid 35 thousand for my 12 mustang gt premium and it sounds great .To me if it does not have a v8 i don't want to here it no matter what kind of exhaust they put on it.

[@2010challengerRT]

1:33 curb rash on the wheel

[@kubanskiloewe]

DOHC as Fords 5.0 V8. Fuck when will chevy go for DOHC V8 ??? Their old pushrods caught hard over 5000rpm.

[@chrisinyaass7508]

What makes you think that Dohc engines are something new and make the Pushrod obsolete? Dohc is tech that is just as old as Pushrods. The only real benefit is if Chevy decided to sale in a country that taxed the larger displacement engines.

[@kubanskiloewe]

ChrisInyaass™ yes most european countries does.....Mustang´s are very good sellers now since they sell them in the wholle world !

[@JUKEBOXX1990]

Eletric parking brakes in performance sports cars is useless imo.

[@Baerchenization]

+JUKEBOXX1990 It is strange you should say that, because I use it all the time :) If it weren't there, I'd be like 'what the hell, where is the parking brake?! Every car needs to have a parking brake...' ;) Actually I prefer it over the old-style parking brake. Generally, I don't have to disengage it, it does that automatically when touching the gas pedal, a lot more convenient when you are stuck in a jam for an hour and would have to disengage like 200 times; and it also auto engages on an a slope for me - why would I yank on that big old brake like it is the 70s all over again? I keep hearing people don't like it - the only thing I haven't heard yet is why... "useless" - well, that was very informative. Here is one thing I don't like about it: the parking brake has another name, derived from its other function: it is an emergency brake! With an old style brake, you can adjust breaking pressure, release it, and brake multiple times; with the electronic one, it is all or nothing, if you engage it while at speed, that thing will throw the anker, that is even dangerous... I am even surprised that it is legal - if you perform a full brake like that, you might have cars following you crash in to you... who came up with this stupid idea?

[@Ricobaca]

you should put 2LT in your title 😑

[@5.0coyote32]

bs i had the 3.7 mustang and it was a nice engine and reliable

[@jcarlos11bquilla01]

Mustang's parts are so cheap and the whole car is like a glass, it breaks easy, unless you buy an expensive shelby

[@null_54]

i respected this guy until he compared american muscle to bmw. HATE btw. the only cars that come out of germany is Porsche and even those have a FEW exceptions.

[@goblinzl1]

theres no performance or economic advantage of a manual over an auto. autos have become more efficient putting down power with better mileage.

[@kubanskiloewe]

V6 ? no way sry ;-)

[@LordFridge1]

Really ugly side view. I love the front.

[@mo4everable]

not cool chevy for putting in appy radio why not android

[@metalmeltdown31]

I believe that it supports both

[@retrocompaq]

+mo4everable supports both, they are paid to only talk about apple

[@khristoferyan]

+Juste Dan Not true. He did mention it. Android Auto doesn't come out until later via OTA update.

[@StormBlaze1]

+mo4everable Android Auto is available now, I'm hoping the dealer gets it installed before I pick my car up on Thursday!

[@gentlemonsterkennels]

v6…I'm out of here!!!!!!!

[@alvilla701]

almost any v6 is better than the v8 from the '90 or early 2000 not only on 0 to 60 but also breaking and mpg

[@gentlemonsterkennels]

crazy wheel Your point? That is the way it should be. Technology should fuckin advance. If you want a V6, good for you. I have no problem with that. I own a 2012 mustang gt (V8) and will be getting a 2016 camaro ss v8 (keeping stang). I WOULD NEVER GET A V6 when there is a v8 option. The only v6 I would get is the GTR. And the Ford GT which I can't fuckin afford anyways.

[@ClumzyThief666]

+gentlemonsterkennels don't matter if you could afford the gt, good luck getting one..

[@gentlemonsterkennels]

+ClumzyThief666 I'm lost. Does t matter if you can afford the gt? Yes it does. That's the reason some people get the v6.

[@ClumzyThief666]

+gentlemonsterkennels you were talking about the Ford GT, right? you have to enter a waiting list and only a certain number of GT's will be made.. hence why I said that..

It no longer looks like a Camaro. It now looks like a Dodge Charger...Get rid of those Ugly Dodge Charger doors.

[@nikond-vp9wt]

rather have mustang

[@NNNSSSCCC]

This beats mustang
