    Here's a Mustang guy giving the new Camaro praise. That's what's great about this guy. He's not a fanboy. He always gives objective reviews and provides usable information for the everyday driver.

      Here's a Camaro guy that praises the Mustang as well!

      +Luis Martinez I own a 2015 Mustang GT and I'm a Mustang guy through and through but I must say these new Camaro's are impressive as hell.

    The 2016 looks way better than the 2010-2015 in my opinion

    • @WilliamStewart1
      @WilliamStewart1 Před 8 lety +21

      They trade blows to me, the 16 is definitely the better car overall though.

    • @TJJohnson92
      @TJJohnson92 Před 8 lety +2

      +JB_Stang 2010-15 had two different camaros though(3 if you want to count under the hood and steering wheel)

    • @ExplitPlayer
      @ExplitPlayer Před 8 lety +1

      +TJJohnson Under the hood didn't change. They added packages but no engine or trans changes. 1LE/ZL1/Z28 are only packages. No standard changes over the 5th gen except Steering wheel, 14-15 Fascia updates, wheel style, and FE4 suspension update

    • @ExplitPlayer
      @ExplitPlayer Před 8 lety

      +TJJohnson not to pick at you.. I'm just trying to give people who want to see what all was changed a better definition. Also the dash changed with a new stitching.

    • @TJJohnson92
      @TJJohnson92 Před 8 lety +3

      ExplitPlayer around 2012 the hp went up a bit on the ss(maybe the v6 too but I know the ss did).

    • @WilliamStewart1
      @WilliamStewart1 Před 8 lety +7

      So much better than that horrible yellow all the initial reviews had. The black really makes the car pop IMO.

    • @Dolby109
      @Dolby109 Před 8 lety +1

      +Natehanibal I'm normally not huge on black cars, but it really looks great with the new Camaro.

    • @WilliamStewart1
      @WilliamStewart1 Před 8 lety +6

      ***** There's a price for everything, if you want the best looking shade on a car (black), you gotta pay a price. They take more maintenance to look good, but after a buff, wow do they look good, especially at night in the city with all the reflections and colors shining off it.

    • @ThisGuyDrives
      @ThisGuyDrives Před 8 lety +1

      +William Stewart Not arguing that it doesn't look good. But, in the desert it's just not worth it. My last car was black and i eventually gave up. My current car is Ashen Grey Metallic with black rims. It's a great color because at night people think it's black and it's a little easier to keep clean.

    • @thefitnesslife4988
      @thefitnesslife4988 Před 8 lety +2

      +William Stewart Black cars are boring, like every other car on the road is black, yellow on the camaro makes it pop out and stand out from the rest.

  • @neverstoppulling5169

      @jeadelmann90 Před 8 lety +2

      +Sawashi32 Because you'll love your new Camaro so... very much more... ;) just place your kids in the trunk if they can't fit in the back seat... drive around with the exhaust baffles opened wide... that way you can't hear them complain... heck they may even enjoy the violent cacophony.

    • @MattMaranMotoring
      @MattMaranMotoring  Před 8 lety +2

      +Street Speed 717 Thanks man! Yeah the steering wheel felt so small to me, I don't remember the Corvette being that small but the parts sharing totally makes sense. And yeah the handling puts both our cars to shame! lol

      Seats look awesome, but the dash looks a little busy to my taste. I like a simple elegant look like the dash on the F-type.

    • @vikk5459
      @vikk5459 Před 8 lety

      I'm sure it still has a bunch of hard plastic. The new Malibu has plenty of hard scratchy plastic.

    • @russell7852
      @russell7852 Před 8 lety +1

      +SullyPwnz I think GM is finally taking the hint lol. Now if only if they keep doing this and dont cancel this generation in 4 years.

    • @Dolby109
      @Dolby109 Před 8 lety +3

      +Jeff K The funny thing is Chevy really tried hard to clean up the interior not just materials, but simplicity like you are stating.
      Still this car is roughly as fast as the F-type at less than half the cost, so complaints don't have much to stand on.

  • @zr1vetteman09
    @zr1vetteman09 Před 8 lety +5

    just drove a black SS manual with the dual mode exhaust the other day and I gotta say... what an excellent car. Other than the poor visibility that is only that way for the muscle bodylines, it is dang near flawless sports car that is nipping at the heels of supercars. So fun to row the gears around town and stoplight to stoplight. I had knee surgery and only a week after I was able to operate the clutch almost effortlessly with little issue. well done Chevrolet

      +Todd Rich haahhah i dont think that camaro will sale more units than the mustang 2015 because of the price, plus in 1 or 2 years the mustang will drop more weight and and it will gain more hp, thats what they do to compete. other thing that makes me laugh is that they had to put a corvette engine into that pos in order to compete with the 5.0 hahaha since the shitty ls engine couldn't compete hahah! but competition is what makes car great, without it the camaro, and mustang would be shit!

    • @SaintTimid

    • @Steve-yr5vi
      @Steve-yr5vi Před 8 lety +1

      +Luis Lujan One fact of life that is clear to me - physics cannot be denied, there is no magic to what they have done; to make the Camaro lighter they have made it much smaller. I am in shape guy, 5'11" 175 and my left shoulder is right on the driver door, there might be 2" of clearance between my head and the head liner, it's a purpose built track car and an awesome one, however IMO it's not a good everyday use car. The Mustang gets comments like "I could drive this across country" because it is a GT - Grand Tourer that is it's purpose and Ford nailed it IMO. The Camaro is a SS which it is, the sacrifice is no room in that car.

    • @Primitivegarage915
      @Primitivegarage915 Před 8 lety +2

      Before Sunrise I'm 6'1 198lbs and i fit fine in camaros. I fit fine in small cars like s2ks and lotuss, how do you sit man? lol jk Although the new mustangs do have better head room, I'll give you that. All modern cars are built for much bigger people man, specially american cars. America has the biggest people in the world and muscle car owners are usually not very muscular big fat guys. lol Both are good cars, but the camaro ss is clearly the better car. Just in performance and looks alone. Mustang wins in visibility.

    • @Steve-yr5vi
      @Steve-yr5vi Před 8 lety +1

      +Luis Lujan I am comfortable in the Camaro, however the back seat is now truly useless in this generation. The last generation Camaro there was actually a good amount of room back there. For me I need a useful back seat now and then and I could not convince myself the backseat of the Camaro was usable. I am disappointed GM did that, they already have the Corvette check it out for yourself tell me what you think.

    • @Primitivegarage915
      @Primitivegarage915 Před 8 lety

      Before Sunrise dude my gfs roommate drive an ecoboost mustang and i didn't fit in the back at all, neither did my gf and she's 5'3 105lbs. The exact same argument could be said about the mustang. I smashed the back of my head llike 3 times and even hit my neck because i has to bent over pretty much and when we hit a bump I went flying up.

The production values are good, your attention to the little details in the cars is fantastic, and I'm no Camaro fan but dang, that redesign is awesome.

    I test drove an SS, and I was amazed by the great, responsive steering. It reminded me of the Honda s2000 I used to own, and that is a huge compliment. I was not expecting that. It handles great and at the same time is comfortable, which is a nice blend. The seats were great too, and I have high standards, since my Audi TTS has Recaros. I agree that the only negative was the dead spot in the gas pedal, almost like it was in eco mode, but it was actually in sport. I have read that owners buy a throttle electronic controller, which eliminates that.

    Also, could you find a 2.0T Camaro to review? I'm so curious to see how it compares to the ecoboost.

    • @WilliamStewart1
      @WilliamStewart1 Před 8 lety +2

      I'd bet they'd be pretty close 0-100, after that I'd say the Stang would take it. The Camaro is lighter which will help with initial off the line go, but the extra horsepower that the 2.3 has will pull it ahead at speeds I'm sure.

    • @SereneSpeed
      @SereneSpeed Před 8 lety

      +William Stewart Ecoboost's are not known for their top-end power. GM's 2.0T pulls harder up top, and uses regular fuel to do so. Coefficient of drag is .29 for the new Camaro too. For some reason Ford will not release the new Mustang drag coefficient.

    • @TonyisToking
      @TonyisToking Před 8 lety +2

      I think the camaro is intended to be a cheap option rental car whereas the ecoboost is the alternative performance model and the V6 is the cheap rental car... For that reason the V6 camaro is better oriented to compete. Either way, it would be interesting to see any mustang vs camaro matchup haha.

    • @MattMaranMotoring
      @MattMaranMotoring  Před 8 lety +6

    • @WilliamStewart1
      @WilliamStewart1 Před 8 lety +1

      TonyisGaming I tend to agree there, GM put a lot of work into the new V6 for the Camaro, and it has some pretty impressive numbers for what it is. The 2.0 is essentially the same engine we saw in the solstice GXP back in 2006, it needs a turbo upgrade in my opinion.

  • @Yama450YZF
    @Yama450YZF Před 7 lety +2

    Nice video! I just rented a 2017 1SS auto convertible in Maui for 9 days. I put over 500 miles on it. What a wonderful car! The torque, comfort, drivability, the new interior, and the functionality of the convertible top made it a real treat to drive! The trunk space is laughable, I one 30 bomb of Coors and a 12 pack of coke in there, barely. But for a rental in the tropics it was worth going with the drop top!
    I found myself driving in manual mode most of the time. Otherwise it'd be in 7th or 8th loping along at 1100 rpm. Running in manual mode was a fun too! I loved that auto throttle blip on the downshifts with that great sound exhaust note! Such a big difference over the previous gen. Now I want a 2SS hardtop 8speed auto for my very own!

    "Hiding" the HVAC controls on the vents was actually something that Audi did first in the most recent TT. They had dials in the center of the circular vents that controlled things; a bit different than the Camaro but in either car, it's a smart way to have manual controls while implementing them in an ingenious way that keeps the dashboard free of clutter.

      +Braden McHenry Agreed, glad to see some one informed on the hierarchy of the motors. Not to many people know that the Camaros turbo 4 isn't suppose to compete directly with the mustang turbo 4. It's mustangs mid level engine and it's the Camaros entry level engine. I think it would be a pretty cool vid to see the camaro v6 vs the ecoboost. But I'm sure we are going to only see the reviewers pit turbo vs turbo. :/ still exciting i guess.

Not trying to start a car war, which I will probably inevitably end up doing, I am not loyal to any company, however I just feel like Chevy did a lot right with this model. Not that I'll be able to afford any one of those two amazing cars anytime soon, but at 18 years old I will get there eventually.

    Gots to get me one of them! Been wanting a 2015 Mustang but after seeing this, Wow!!! Didn't care for the previous Gen's Camaro too much but I'm glad they made it meaner looking! Great vid Matt, keep up the good work on your channel!
