The Camaro has classic muscle car looks and sound. Our tested Camaro SS was very quick, thanks to the 6.2-liter V8 engine. The base 3.6-liter V6 delivers decent performance. Handling is very capable, but the car's size and weight hurts agility. Braking performance on the SS is excellent, and the ride is taut and controlled but not punishing. The emphasis on exterior and interior styling impacts practicality, with severely hampered visibility, unclear controls, a small trunk, and a tiny rear seat. The convertible has an awkward manual top release. Reliability has been average. A high-performance ZL1 version is new.
