| “Great First Car!” This was my first car ever, and even with all the trouble I had with it I still loved it and I'd love to have it back. Top speed was around 115 mph, got around 16 miles to the gallon but it was a blast to drive. It handled great around curves and was a total chick magnet.
Pros —
RWD, Chevy power, A/C, great paint job, great handling, it's a Camaro!
Cons —
Weak V-6, automatic, bad gas mileage, broke down every 5 months.

| “A Great First Car To Really Get A Begineers Feel Of How A Sports Car Feels, Sounds, And Drives.” This is an awsome car for anyone young kid that wants a hot looking sports car for a low price and a deep roaring engine with some decent pick up. I great first car for sure.
Pros —
-Pretty inexpensive.
-Has a loud, deep, roaring engine (Very cool very sexy). - Very dependable if you know the basics of car repairs and change the oil regularly. - Has T-Tops which are always fun. - Lots of room and space under the hood, that make it much easier for self-car repairs. - Has a very big and open back windsheild, which makes for very easy visablilty of the road behind you, plus has very small blind spots. -The automatic transmission comes with overdrive which makes for surprisingly good gas-mileage for a V-8. ( I would say around 18 miles a gallon). - You are able to find any part you need at a Junk Yard, these baby's are a dime a dozen and can be found all over for replacement parts. (A little elbow greese goes a far way). - Lots of foot room for the driver and front passenger of the car. - Runs extremly well on long drives (Driving from San Deigo to Los Vegas for example) where you have a long stretch of road, while driving 70-80 mph. - Not too crazy of speed or acceleration and is very easy to handle. - A great first car.
Cons —
-Though it has some good pick up, it isnt that fastest car on the road.
- If you have T-Tops on your model expect lots of leaks (Rain can be a huge bummer and soak your two back seats). - Once this car hits 130,000 miles driven, expect all original engine parts to begin giving out and needing to be replaced within the next 6-8 months (This may vary depending on if you change your oil regulary and know the basics of car repairs). - Engine will get very hot (but not overheat) when driving in stop-start traffic.(I would suggest not buying this car if you live in L.A. for example, but if you do. I suggest buying a after-market radiator fan or a lower temperature release thermostat.) - If you do your own car repairs, replaceing the speedometer can be very unpleasent. (I would suggest going to a pick-N-pull and tearing into a junked camaro to understand how you will replace it.) - Has a pretty long nose; Can make it hard to proceed with short turns and parking in small and narrow places. - With windows rolled up you will still hear a feint wind blowing sound as if your window was still rolled down just a little bit. - When the windows are rolled down you do not get alot of wind circulation through the car when driving at low speeds do to the angle of the windows. - I would not buy this car unless you can change your oil regularly (Chevy sports cars will run forever, but only if you know basic car repairs and can do all the basic check ups and fluid replacements regulary.) - Very small leg room and over all room for any people that will be sitting in the back two seats (basically the back to seats are for is someone really needs to hitch a ride otherwise don't be expecting to have four people in the car daily.) - Requires premium gas, which can be a con. I think of it as the cost of a fun toy. - Does not have the best gas millage under 20 miles a gallon. - Has a very loud engine so if your looking for something quite this isnt the car for you. |
