Tell your friend to start with a base dodge charger or base Ford mustang to allay his fears and work his way up to the Camaro bubble bee edition

Car is way cheaper than it looks. A 2017 Honda accord touring is more expensive than some models of 2017 camaro. But the camaro is a car u will drive in Nigeria and people will think u are driving one kind expensive car lol.

If ur friend doesn't have another car already, he shouldn't even think of buying this. It is not a daily driver especially in Nigeria where parts and know how are limited. But if ur friend already has 1 or 2 cars then let him go ahead, use this as a weekend ride.

thanks to you all,he has a Toyota avensis already,but he soo much love this car and he wants feed back from me before he make payment for the car this week...

please who knows about the gearbox,brainbox and engine issues especially electrical problems.

thanks

There are 10 cars that share engine parts with this car, but they are all not common and some not even available in Nigeria.

I am sure the camaro will be a good buy if you put things in place and buy a low mileage well maintained car. Besides he can import parts from abroad if need be. This is the kind of car you give to a qualified technician to fix and not gamble on road side kazeem.

The only other thing is someone who likes good things like this shouldn't have problem maintaining it with the right things the car needs

thanks so much brother...his main fear are electric problems,gearbox,engine and other minor errors that occurred due to factory error like that of Nissan altima. he is good at maintaining car and I think he can maintain it and buy spear part abroad.
if you have more advice,I will be glad.

thanks

2010 was the 1st model year, if he can afford the 12 to 15,it would be OK since the errors made in the first sets would be corrected in subsequent years. Am not saying the 2010 is bad but If the first sets had issues or factory defects, the correction will be made in subsequent release reason for my advice.

thanks boss,he has already booked this one already,it is because of reasons of factory errors that is why we are looking for advice on the errors the cars have.

thanks bro

Not long ago I rented a 2016 Chevy Camaro RS at Los Angeles International Airport, and drove it extensively on the Southern California freeway system, from the southern reaches of San Diego County, through Orange county, and up the vast 14 highway that climbs in spectacular arcing splendor, rising into the mountain foothills north of downtown Los Angeles, towards the high desert towns of Palmdale and Lancaster, beyond which the snow-capped mountains of the coastal Sierra range loomed in purple hues, behind wispy grey and white winter cloud formations.

With those hundreds of miles behind the wheel of a brand new Camaro, I can speak with some authority about this vehicle. The car's suspension rendered a smooth and quiet ride, with crisp, responsive steering that required just tiny movements on the wheel to change lanes, and when I set the cruise control while rolling northbound at a steady 70 mph on the magnificent 10-lane Interstate 15 into Riverside County past Lake Elsinore, I felt like I was in the cockpit of a fighter jet.

When bursts of power were needed to take occasional evasive action in traffic, the Camaro's six-cylinder engine and 7-speed auto transmission delivered torque and acceleration that pinned me to my seat. I initially would have preferred to rent the V8 engine SS model Camaro, but there were none at the rental office that day, so I settled for the RS model. All all told, the RS 6-banger model was more than adequate in the horsepower department.

Now, after all this lavish praise, I must inform you why you should NOT buy a 2011-2017 Chevy Camaro. The cars tiny side windows offer extremely poor visibility, with absolutely MASSIVE blind spots over the shoulder of the driver, where clear, unobstructed visibility is VITAL for safety while changing lanes, or even just while backing up. Yes the backup camera helps, but it does NOT give an accurate depiction of distance, in comparison to just looking over your shoulder as you back up, so I often wound up reversing the car to park whilst leaning over to look out the open driver's door.

So, my summary about the new generation Camaros is that they are beautiful to look at, and fun to drive, but absolutely TERRIBLE from a driving safety standpoint, all because that low roof means smaller windows that make it VERY risky to change lanes and back up.

If you are not recommending this car because of blind spots you need to be flogged by an ANGRY MASQUERADE

so do you mean 2010 model is a good deal?

Personally I would not buy a newer Camaro because of the very poor visibility out the side, due to the small windows, but any car buyer who feels they can live with the danger posed by that bad visibility, will buy a Camaro regardless of what I have to say on the matter.
