2000 Chevrolet Camaro SS review from North America
"Amazing Engine and Reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My driver's side door has had a lot of problems. Clear coat failure, power window dead, power locks dead, it's just this door.
My hood had to be repainted due to paint failure from bubbling. This is a black Camaro so it's not always easy to match. The dealer had to do it twice, but they did make good on it reluctantly. Maybe because I've bought three cars from them.
Brakes are the worse thing on this car, the front set needs to be adjusted every 15,000 miles or so due to it's enormous weight.
The interior could be a little nicer for 32,000$. It was a sad to see the same stock radio in my Camaro SS that a generic Cavalier gets.
General comments?
The car itself is the SS model and it's gorgeous, I don't think even the Corvette or Viper look as nice, they're too small. The Camaro is big and FAST.
Amazing engine, great speed. Handling could be better, it's a little sloppy, but you are pushing 3,500 pounds in the front so the car is quick, but feels it's weight. Do not expect it to do well in the snow, but you're really paying for the amazing engine.
