The 96 Chevy Camaro is a classic American muscle car. The back seats fold down to allow a lot more storage than you would expect from a sports car. The rear bucket seats however, are really there for show. No one will enjoy sitting in the back of this car for very long. All in all, it is a very enjoyable vehicle to have to drive. The speed and power give you a joy on the road that your old Kia just isn’t able to provide.
Story
I was on my way home from a movie and a 2014 Mustang pulls up to the light next to me. He revved his engine and crept up slightly. Once the light turned green I revved up to take off but stalled it and he tore off. 3 seconds later a police car pulled out of a side street and pulled the guy over. While I have gotten better at driving since then that moment always makes me laugh when I think bac... (more)
Pros
The Bose sound system that comes stock with this model is an excellent experience. It sounds great and has a nice subwoofer that lets you “bump” as the kids say. It comes standard with a CD player and radio, although it could use an AUX port.
Cons
With it being an older model you can expect a few things like outside noise leak and squeaks and creeks while driving but the driving experience is fun none the less. With the powerful 5.7l V8 LT1 you have no problems with having a bit of fun with this vehicle on the street. It has problems with handling but that is something to expect from an older muscle car. While you won’t be taking 90 degree 50mph turns in this thing you can tear it up on a straight away.

I love my Camaro for it's sporty look. The Bat Mobile feel of sitting low to the ground can not be beat. The gas mileage for the Camaro is surprisingly good. The car only takes Premium gasoline, at least mine does. After a few years of driving it, it does require a bit of babying, yet not is worth it. What I mean by that is that if you buy a Camaro and it over heats, it is not the water pump not the thermostat, it is the computer itself that just needs to be adjusted. One nugget that could save a life. Do not drive over 55 miles per hour, in the rain, your Camaro "will" hydroplane. It literally is like a plane. How do I know? Ex husband, it is raining, slow down, you are going 57, I drive this car everyday. I've got this! Twenty second later we are spinning through four lanes of oncomi... (more)

Pros
Sound system. The look. The community.
Cons
Hydroplanes in wet conditions. Requires regular maintenance. Requires only premium gasoline (and yes, there is a major difference if one tries anything other than premium).
