1994 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe review from North America
"A cheaply made, unreliable pile."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Started overheating at around 77000mi.
Just had it tuned up at 75k. I took it to a mechanic who told me the head gasket was almost completely gone.
Had to replace front ball joints.
A/C stopped working at about 82K.
Amazingly bad build quality.
Windows don't meet up with weatherstripping, so every time I get it washed, water sprays into the car.
Makes about 65 different squeaks and rattles. Sounds like the car is going to fall apart.
Engine makes a strange winding sound when accelerating. It also runs extremely rough when going 45-60mph for some reason.
Just recently noticed when car is stopped in traffic there is a metal clanking sound.
General comments?
I've never had a crappier car, and it doesn't even have very many miles on it.
Sluggish acceleration for a car with a V6. This is just about the slowest car I've ever driven and it is supposed to be sporty. Although it does handle well.
Interior is cheap.
Here are some non-sports cars I have driven that have more pickup than this "sports car": Contour, Expedition, Explorer, Sable.
