What to look for when buying a Camaro

The cost of a Camaro in the USA is half as much, but there will be certain losses during customs clearance of the car. As a result, the purchase will be cheaper than from a dealer, but with known risks.

Visibility

At first, visibility is unusually limited, but you quickly get used to it. Narrow windows are fully complemented by visibility mirrors installed exactly where needed. It’s also worth paying attention to the mirrors - for the American versions of cars and European-assembled cars they are different (in the European version they fold and are spherical, but in the American car they do not fold, and the driver’s mirror is “straight” (with a magnification of 1.2x - American standard). When If necessary, you can order an upgrade and for a small amount of money change the mirror itself to a spherical one that is familiar to a Russian person, not a lot of money.

Passability in snow

Camaro is not an SUV; a sports car was not originally created for snow trails, but the independent rear suspension, and driving with the skid system automatically turned on, helps to cope with snow conditions not exceeding the ground clearance quite simply. WITH winter tires The snow-covered road surface is almost invisible.

Difference between European and American versions of Camaro

The Chevrolet Camaro has three versions in terms of the country for which it is produced: American, European and Mexican. Difference European version, which is being implemented, including in Russia, are not fundamental, and consist in the features of the rear LED optics, the presence of headlight washers, large mirrors with a turn repeat function, the European version has folding mirrors, the American version does not, and there is no towing hook. The "European" does not have an antenna on the roof rear window, the basic installation includes the RS package without bumper badges, and the engine is only installed with a capacity of 6.2 liters. In addition, the European version is slightly more expensive than the American version, the European version does not have projection on the glass, the radio is American version it will work, but only by 10% due to the frequency step (in America it is different).

Camaro specifics Hot Wheels Edition

The Hot Wheels version of the Camaro is the case when non-toy models are made based on real cars, but vice versa. This version of the Camaro is derived from a popular collectible toy model released in 1968.

Specifics of operation in icy conditions

Driving a Camaro in icy conditions is not a good idea. Simply put, the car is not “tailored” for driving on slippery surface, first of all, due to the high starting characteristics and power of the car as a whole (“the Camaro has a lot of torque”). The existing stabilization system in icy conditions does not guarantee safety when the gas pedal is pressed sharply. But this does not mean that you cannot drive this car in icy conditions. With some caution, even in such conditions the trip will not pose a danger.

Tuning Camaro

The Camaro attracts a lot of attention, but there are a considerable number of time-tested design "bells and whistles" for its body. Although, most of the tuning accessories are aimed at changing color characteristics, tuning the interior, which is not distinguished by the richness of its decoration, wheels and engine.

Is the salon comfortable?

Everyone calls the Camaro's interior practical, albeit rather poor. In the cabin, everything is to the point, nothing superfluous, the layout of the dashboard is rational. Many, especially tall owners, note that the roof is too low and certain difficulties with getting in and out of the car. The seats are made for a person of almost any height, although, ideally, they are adapted for a driver with a height of 180 cm. The road from the cabin is almost inaudible, relatively quiet even at speeds of up to 180 km/h. Sometimes they complain about the low roof and the not particularly comfortable seating position of the car, but this is not very critical, you get used to it. At first, the driver should pay attention to the process of opening the doors, since they are long, this can create certain difficulties in tight parking. The instrument panel does not cause any complaints, despite its apparent simplicity.

Security level

The Camaro has airbags starting at fourth generation models included in standard equipment. They protect the head and chest of the driver and passenger. In addition, the Camaro, according to the manufacturer, has a heavy-duty steel body roll cage, and disc brakes with anti-lock braking system and system dynamic stabilization and maintenance directional stability StabiliTrak, also standard on all models, helps prevent accidents.

Power Boost

For example, chip tuning a 2009 Camaro with a 3.6 engine (312 hp) gives a 7% increase in power and a 7% increase in torque, and installing a compressor on a 3.6 engine will give an increase of about 30-40%. If we are talking about installing a Twin turbo kit, the power increases to 60-70%.

At the same time, the image component of the Chevrolet Camaro is so high that its popularity is practically not affected by any crises. At the same time, there is also the possibility of saving if you prefer less expensive equipment- this will have almost no effect on appearance and interior (with the exception of some options). It is no coincidence that most of the cars offered on the market are equipped with a 3.6-liter engine, because the semantic load is the same, but the minus in price is quite a significant difference.

The fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most prominent representatives such a class of car as a pony car. Production of this model began in 2009 and lasted until 2015. Long before the premiere, the pony car from General Motors attracted the attention of tens of thousands of car enthusiasts. Which is not surprising, because American company not just developed a new product. She decided to resume production of the legendary Chevrolet Camaro, which was completed in 2002.

Appearance

The appearance of the new product of the late 2000s became brighter and more interesting than that of models of previous generations. The image of a sports pony car harmoniously combines the features of its legendary predecessor of the 70s and modern design solutions. The car turned out to be muscular, predatory, dynamic and aggressive. The wide, long hood attracts attention. head optics expressive shapes, chopped shapes rear wings, led lights, large “barrels” of the exhaust system and 20-inch wheels.

It is also worth noting that the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro is distinguished by its immodest dimensions. Its length reaches 4,836 mm and its height is 1,377 mm. The width is 1,918 mm. Thanks to the impressive difference between length and height, the car's appearance seems even more aspirational and dynamic.

Interior

According to many people, the Chevrolet Camaro, whose price cannot be called low, has a very ascetic interior. However, other car owners consider the lack of frills to be a huge plus. In addition, the interior design is unlike any other. However, like the whole car.

But they all agree on the materials used in the finishing. The plastic is hard and looks too cheap. But the seats are comfortable and conducive to long trips, dressed in expensive genuine leather.

The trunk of this model is quite large when compared with the similarly sized Porsche 911. And the rear seats can accommodate two people of average build. So this sports car can also be considered practical in its class.

What's under the hood?

There are several versions of the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro, and they are all different power units. There are 9 engines in total, the power of which varies from 312 to 580 horsepower.

It is worth noting that even versions with the most weak motor impressive with its characteristics. 3.6-liter 312 hp injection engine The V6 allows you to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. The speed limit is 250 km/h (there is a limiter). The “appetite” of this engine is quite modest. 100 “city” kilometers consume 13.8 liters of gasoline. On the highway, consumption drops to 8.4 liters. This unit is offered with a 6-speed manual and automatic transmission.

The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro with a 580-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine is different better dynamics. Acceleration to “hundreds” takes just over 5.5 seconds. But the maximum is also limited to 250 km/h. This engine consumes about 15 liters of gasoline per 100 “city” kilometers. On the highway it consumes about 9 liters.

Equipment

It’s also worth talking about what equipment the Chevrolet Camaro pony car is equipped with. The fifth generation came out with a very rich list basic equipment. Included as standard ABS systems, EBA, EBD, ESP, curtains, airbags and door beams, active head restraints, and the OnStars crash response system.

In addition to the above, the package included air conditioning, front electric windows, automatically adjustable and heated seats, a power steering wheel with leather upholstery, cruise control, on-board computer, sunroof, Bluetooth Hands-Free interface and remote starting the internal combustion engine. In addition, the list of basic equipment included electric heated mirrors, xenon optics, fog and halogen headlights and factory tinted windows.

As you can see, everything you needed was already in the basic configuration of the Chevrolet Camaro. The price increased if a person wanted to add additional options. For an additional fee, separate climate control, navigation, CD changer and bi-xenon headlights were offered.

Behavior on the road

This topic cannot be ignored when talking about the Chevrolet Camaro. The fifth generation was long-awaited, and many people, after the presentation of the new product, rushed to get it. Most owners are happy to share their impressions of handling and operation in general.

If you believe the reviews, then the versions with automatic transmission behave best on the road. The automatic transmission is very responsive and playful, just as it should be on a real sports car. The gearbox instantly responds to the driver’s desire to accelerate, which is good news. And in traffic jams, the automatic transmission just helps out. The power steering in the Chevrolet is excellent, moderately hard.

The only people who were dissatisfied were people who bought versions with 18-inch wheels. They don't suit this pony car, either technically or aesthetically. But most owners immediately solved this problem by installing 20-inch wheels.

Exploitation

It’s also worth mentioning a few words about it when talking about the Chevrolet Camaro. “Chevrolet Camaro”... price, reviews, technical characteristics - everything indicates that this sports car cannot be classified as a budget and economical one. Real consumption versions with 6.2-liter engines vary from 12 to 20 liters depending on the nature and driving mode. In winter, the engine consumes a little more fuel.

However, the sensations this car gives are worth the cost. Chevrolet has excellent suspension. There are no rolls, sways or shakes observed. But this does not mean that you can test this car off-road, although the suspension will obediently “swallow” bumps. By the way, their passage will not affect comfort in any way. The body has a high seating position, which surprises many, given the sporty nature of the car.

Price

Finally, a few words should be said about how much money a person who wants to purchase a Chevrolet Camaro (fifth generation) will have to pay. The price is rather high, but quite reasonable. A 2010 model with a 432-horsepower engine under the hood will cost about 1,650,000 rubles. The mileage will not exceed 100,000 kilometers. And the condition will also be excellent - as in technically, and in cosmetics.

But if you want to become the owner of more new version, then you will have to pay more. The 2014 model will cost approximately 2.7 million rubles. For this price, a person can get a car with a 323-horsepower unit under the hood and a range of up to 35,000 km. And besides, with maximum configuration. Which includes everything you need - from an immobilizer and electrically adjustable seats to 20-inch alloy wheels and a multifunction steering wheel.

So if you want to become the owner of a powerful sports car, which attracts glances, you can safely choose the Chevrolet Camaro V. You won’t have to regret your choice, and numerous positive reviews are the best confirmation.

The fifth generation is powerful, fast car with a unique exterior and interesting interior design. This model is revered by many fans beautiful cars. What's so special about it? It should be sorted out.

The width of the machine is 1918 mm, and the height is 1376 mm. These are coming. Experts designed its middle side pillars in such a way that they became not just an advantageous decoration of the car, but also a practical addition: due to them, the rigidity of the body increased. But the racks are almost invisible. This creates the effect of a folding roof. By the way, potential buyers have the opportunity to order an electric glass roof. But it will cost more than 50,000 rubles, so the choice is up to the person.

Interior

What does the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro look like from the inside? Reviews from people who own this car are replete with admiring comments regarding the interior of this model. Even at first glance, it is clear that the designers paid great attention to detail. The salon has a very modern design. I would like to pay special attention to dashboard.

The sports seats are comfortable and comfortable. In these, the driver will definitely not get tired, even if he spends several hours behind the wheel without rest. The seats also feature active headrests and developed lateral support. By the way, they can also be adjusted (6 different directions). The rear seats can be folded, the front ones are heated.

Basic equipment is able to offer a high-quality Boston Acoustics sound system (245 W), nine powerful loud speakers and an amplifier. This will appeal to people who like to listen to full-on music on the road.

But the model accelerates to “hundreds” in 4.7 seconds (in the case of a 3.6-liter engine - in 6.2 seconds). Technical features: independent suspension, disc brakes and variable-force steering. Thanks to these nuances, specialists managed to achieve excellent handling. As a matter of fact, this is why people fell in love with this car.
