A complete restyling of the Camaro greeted its customers for the 1993 model. The body was made sleeker and was made of a dent-resistant material. All cars came standard with dual airbags.
While both the base and Z28 models were available, there were no convertible models in the 1993 line.

Great value. A Camaro that age with such low mileage is very hard to find. The price is really low for a car that looks good and seem to be in really good shape.Apr 17, 2024

it was reasonably priced, no really it was cheap horsepower, is that enough words? no, well it has a corvette motor four wheel disk brakes, manual tranny coud add to the fun but shifting the 4l60 is faster. rides smooth. Jul 26, 2013

It's a good fun sporty car. It's got enough power to satisfy the basic wants, and
has that wonderful V8 sound. Maintenance has a high front end cost but little to
no periodical cost. Labor is expensive and time consuming. The main draw backs
with this car is that high front end cost of parts, high cost of labor, and low gas
mileage due to the V8Feb 05, 2012

Appearance still turns headS! There's nothing better than driving this car on the winding country roads on a summer day with the T-tops out! So much fun to drive - incredible acceleration and sport-car handling; great gas mileage which helps every $4+ gallon go farther.Apr 23, 2011

Runs very good but inside build quality is junk. It get pretty good gas mileage, the
6 speed makes it really fun and helps with the gas. Not the best handling car or the
fastest but it is a pretty fun car to drive, especially with the t-tops.Mar 24, 2011

car sucks to work on.....just to change the spark plugs plan on making it an all day affair, expensive to modify, when it hooks up (and i mean when) it goes......and the list goes on and on...would not recommend this car to anyone that is not a very good mechanicDec 09, 2010

My first V8 Fourth Gen, I had this car for years and I regret selling it. It had the M29 optioned T56 that was only offered in 93. It had every option available in 1993 except T-Tops. Out of all my cars, this is the one I'd really want to get back if I could. Nov 03, 2010

350 LT1 6-speed what else is there to say. It completely blew the mustang out of the water when introduced in 1993 and still has no problem doing it today. There is never a dull moment in the car. It is very fun to drive.Sep 15, 2010

Fun all around car, but I wouldn't recommend buying because there is absolutely no room to work on anything underneath the hood!!! I will say though that the cars have a pretty high top speed, but thats just what I have heard!!!!!!Apr 06, 2010

My Camaro is a solid car. It's a fun, light car that is fast. It looks great and it's a blast to drive. The gas mileage is good considering its a 8 cylinder. The only problem is my power steering pump whines a little.Its barely noticable, but it will probably be replace soon. Feb 18, 2010

Performance is great, when applying foot to the gas, it responds with ease but much power. Braking is solid and the handling is responsive.

The first car I have ever purchased, and to be my
daily driver no less. This was the first generation to
get the 6-spd. manual. Coupled with the LT1, its a
blast to drive. As a friend once said, "Climbing in
your car is like strapping into a cockpit!" Their are
some gripes, like the poor location of the cupholder
behind the shifter, the somewhat restricted visibility
and the tight-fitting motor under the hood (see 4+
hr. tune-up). But, pound for pound and dollar for
dollar, this is definitely one of the best muscle
machines around.Jan 30, 2010

I LOVE THAT IT IS A TRUE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE... it out performs most other cars and handles like a go-kart... it has never left me stranded or broke down... it looks great inside and out and runs amazingly... it uses not much gas and gets plenty of funny looks especially on the trailsNov 27, 2009

I've had this car for 16 years. Its shape, feel is like a glove to me. From the outside when it's clean the maroom color shines. It has been the shop a few times, but it has never left me stranded.Oct 10, 2009

performance wise, the car is quick, but it isn't fast. Yet. It was built by the same people who designed the packaging for chewing tobacco. But i love the car. it really is great to drive. it doesn't cost near as much to run as expected, even though it gets about 10-14 mpg city. It redeems itself on the highway by getting around 25-30+ mpg. It has needed a few repairs such as my catalytic converter fell apart because the previous owner hardly drove it and that in turn broke my oil pressure sending unit. other than those malfunctions the car is pretty sturdy, it handles well for what it is, and if need be, it will get off it's ass and move.Oct 07, 2009

I Love My Camaro. Its the first car i ever bought. Drives awesome if everythings up to date like tires! Never had any major problems even though it has over 185k miles. i think its the toughest car compared to newer model cars because i had a dumb*** bump me in the back going about 40mph and nothing but a minor scratch on my bumper but the idiot's radiator started leaking!Jul 22, 2009

Performance wise for being a 16 year old car it can still hold it's own against most. No matter where you go it still turns heads. As Far as the fun factor goes if you let all 275 horses of the LT1 Run it is very easy to let the tires go up in smoke. Surprisingly this car can handle its own in the corners also. A few cons to it are unless you enjoy wrenching on the LT1 you can get very frustrated trying to access most engine parts, Spark plugs and the Opti Spark are a few to mention. May 29, 2009

Car has insane acceleration and top speed. Has over $5000 worth of modifications.. It'll put your ass back in the seat when you're already goin 70+... Acceleration..0-60 in under 5.. top speed over 150 mph speedo... It is a pig on gas and i have to put 93 in it. Of course i have a killer stereo system too...haha Loud... Red.. Fast... what else do you want?

Fun car to drive and a blast when you mash the gas. As with all LT1 Camaros, the ignition system is weak and I replaced everything on mine at about 35k miles. It sqeaks a little but that is also to be expected with these cars. Other than the ignition system, these cars have a pretty reliable reputation.Jul 29, 2008

Fun old Camaro, it has been reliable up until last summer when it hit 178000 miles, then
the ECU and a few cam sensors blew, and now 2 of the ignition coils have gone, but what
can you expect for a 15 year old car with 186500 miles that is driven aggressively
everyday?
The clutch is really firm, which took a bit of getting used to, but the transmission has
been pretty good, its fairly precise and the only issue I have had is that it is slightly
difficult trying to shift into reverse, no real problems though. The engine has held up great
to the constant abuse of almost everyday 100+ mph drives through the MT hills going to
college and work. The oil filter is a bit of a pain to get at to change compared to my old
e30 BMW, but that is to be expected too. The handling is pretty good, it hangs on really
well to mountain roads at excessive speeds, but will shred tires quickly if you are not
careful. My only real complaint is that the car tends to track the grooves on the road too
much.
The almost nonexistent trunk is only really useful for storing the t-tops and the back
seats are small, have almost no padding and have no hand holds for the passengers, which
has proven to be problem when taking corners at high speeds.
Overall, a great driver's car and a fun daily driver.

Complete engine and transmission overhall after less than 15,000 miles of ownership. Be weary of purchasing any Z28 with over100,000 miles. That being said, I still love this car. She turns heads for sure, but not without breaking your heart and bank account in the process.

After owning three of the 3rd Gen Z28's, I decided to try a 4th Gen. The car has 100,000+ miles on it, but it's still fast as Hell. What sold me on the car was the T56, six speed tranny. Combine the manual transmission and the LT1, and you have a Corvette in a Camaro body. The gas mileage isn't great, but I get about 15mpg, and always use Premium. The handling of the car is Incredible, it sticks to the road like glue. May 26, 2007
I have a camaro that won't start. I can spray starting fluid in the tbi and it'll start and run for a few seconds them dies. it's got a new fuel pump in it. I've gone through the gas lines and not leaks or disconnects. I found a purple and yellow wire by the tranny that's ben cut or chewed through but I don't think it's fuel related. I have to hold the steering wheel at a certain angle for the key to register and start the car. it does have a bad starter on the car but with jumper cables or tapping the starter and some fluid it fires up for about 5 seconds then dies. not sure what the problem is
I'm getting a total tune up and the shop wants to know what plugs I want. I know as much about cars as Joe Biden, so nothing. The car is really nice and I want to keep it that way.
Replaced the thermostat and water pump on my 1993 chevy camaro 3.4 pluged everything back in that i unplugged and now it wont start turns over but no start
i thought it was one of the sensors i changed the crank position sensor, cam sensor, throttle position sensor, and the idle air control. each time i changed a sensor my car will start but the next day wont start. Can somebody please help me
