1985 Chevrolet Camaro - A Pretty Lemon
The 1985 Chevy Camaro is a very pretty car. It's styling is very sleek. It is very sporty, yet is considered a muscle car. This is probably my most favorite car that I have ever owned. Sadly, it was not always the most reliable. One of the things that I liked most about my 1985 Chevy Camaro was that it looked very sporty. It also sounded really cool, complete with dual exhaust pipes. This was also a very roomy car so that was nice, especially for a sports car. Overall this is also a very comfortable car. The front seats lean all the way back so it can even be slept in. The back seat can either be folded down or raised up, depending on how many passengers there are. Although the Camaro is very roomy, comfortable and pleasing to the eye, mine was in the shop much more often than I would ...

The front seats lean all the way back so it can even be slept in. The back seat can either be folded down or raised up, depending on how many passengers there are. Although the Camaro is very roomy, comfortable and pleasing to the eye, mine was in the shop much more often than I would have liked for it to be. The repair costs of taking it to the dealer were very high, even for seemingly simple repairs. The gas mileage for this vehicle is also not the greatest. My Camaro typically only got between 10 and 15 MPG. If you can afford to pay for the gas and don't plan on taking any long uphill journeys, then it is a very fun and easy car to drive. Although it may not accelerate as fast as some of the newer cars, this model sounds very powerful and feels great as it shifts between gears. The steering handles great. It also brakes well, as long as the pads are changed when necessary. While driving my Camaro, I usually always felt safe and in control. The only times I ever felt nervous in this car was when it was overheating and also when the Mass Airflow Sensor failed and caused the engine to "front-fire," thus preventing it from accelerating correctly when the accelerator was pressed. This was a little scary for me when it happened in the middle of an intersection and I was turning in front of traffic. My repair cost for this repair was $700. Also, it turned out to be a wire near the sensor, and not the actual sensor itself.
I took my Camaro off-roading one time...actually more than once after I had already started having problems with it. Surprisingly, the car handled quite well on dirt!

The top positive features of this vehicle include its body style and sportiness. When driving this vehicle, you feel powerful and successful. Everyone looks at it and admires it as it comes down the road. It also sounds like a sports car and has a powerful, yet not too powerful, 2.8 liter engine.

As much as I loved to drive my Camaro, it seems that at least half the time, I would end up broken down somewhere and would not actually be getting to drive it at all. The main problem I usually had was that the engine would overheat. If it was not one thing it was another. First the radiator needed replacing, so I had that replaced. Then, the car still overheated, so next the water pump had to be replaced. The car still overheated after that. Then the thermostat...the list just goes on and on. Even after virtually all of the temperature-related components had been replaced in the car, the...
