2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS

The 2011 Camaro is Chevrolet's retro-styled muscle car, offered as a coupe or convertible and aimed squarely at the Mustang and Challenger. It's a blast to drive, with strong acceleration that pins you to the seat, though the low seating position and thick pillars create some blind spots. The cabin is a mix of modern tech and retro touches, but the back seat is tight and the trunk is small, so treat it as a 2+2. Owners report few major issues, but some have dealt with clear coat chipping and premature tire wear on the stock rubber. Stepping up from the 1SS to the 2SS adds leather seats, a Boston Acoustics sound system, and heated front seats, plus the option of a MyLink touchscreen with navigation. This convertible Camaro pairs its 6.2L V8 making 426 horsepower with a six-speed automatic driving the rear wheels, so it makes some noise even at a cruise and really howls when you put your foot in it. With the convertible top down, the cabin gets plenty of sun, though highway wind can be noticeable above 60 mph and the trunk loses a few cubic feet versus the coupe.
