  Really nice car, but has problems... - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By cabe7 - March 25 - 10:09 am

  I got my camaro as my first car about and a half years ago... The previous owner didnt take care of the car, which caused problems for me. There was a lot of things that needed to be replaced, AC, Transmission, 02 sensors, water pump, and the egr valve. I was able to drive the car for a year without problems. However, when I started college, I was driving 30 miles to and from school everyday. Thats when the car started to give me problems. The car overheated 4 times within 2 months, and each time it was something different that caused it. Replaced the thermostat, hose and radiator. Other minuscule things like leaky t-tops and broken console henge. The car has some design flaws.

  camaro v6 - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By mike - March 20 - 2:25 am

  All and all i must say it was another low quality GM product. I bought the car at 80,000 miles, and had it untill it tanked out around 96,000 miles. During that time, it was broken down more than it ran. Always something, id fix one thing and something else would go wrong. When it did run performance was not what it should have been. My scion and integra are much more fun to drive. The v6 was quick enough for daily driving, but dont expect to win any races. The car was a decent looking car minus the ugly stock rims. The t-tops were cool, and i LOVED the interior. By far the best interior of any car i ever owned. It came stock 2 tone black and red inside.

  I have had a 3.8 V6 Camaro since june when I graduated. Its t-topped and the best ride I have ever owned. I have cold air intake, loud dual exhaust, and high performance tires. It is also chipped out to 255 hp. This car is fast. I would definitely recomend this car to anybody wanting a nice ride to cruise town with.

  Cant say goodbye yet! - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Equine - June 20 - 6:55 am

  Bought this beautiful dark green/beige interior Camaro new in 1996. Yes, that was 12 years ago! Only 116,000 miles on it and engine/transmission still going strong with never a breakdown. Since it was garaged at home, the paint looks brand new. Original plug wires were recalled about 2002 in the same week it acted up. No mechanical repairs-only tow different leaks and normal wear and tear parts. Only thing I am unhappy with is an oil leak that started by the 3rd year and was never fixed. (Got tired of going to the dealership-not where I bought this car). Even though I am now car shopping--I still have no plans to sell it. Plan to have it worked on /updated etc and just be my "play car".

  Amazing! - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Jesse - November 2 - 5:17 pm

  I just bought this car from a private owner. It has the tune-port eninge making it somewhat rare since in 96 they started using the Vor-tec engine. I love this car. It is the best car to ever be built! Keep it up Chevy!

  Still my girl - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By J-Man - November 20 - 2:01 am

  My mother bought this 1996 used white 3800 V6 model w/4-speed auto and ABS in 1998, and then gave it to me when I graduated high school in 2000. Since then, Ive been taking it all over the NY-NJ region, customizing it with high performance exhaust, lighting, and intake mods. It now has "only" 76,000 miles, and with a little TLC and regular maintenance still runs with the best of them, and definitely gets looks from guys and girls of all ages. Also my girls favorite of the 3 cars I owned concurrently over the past 3 yrs, so that counts for something.

  Simply amazing! - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Rob - April 5 - 9:16 am

  Im 19 and ever since I was little i aslways wanted a Camaro and I finally got one. Its a real fun car to drive in the summer. I even drove it through one winter and it still never gave me a problem. The serpentine belt went on it at 60k and a headlight. But thats all so far. Great head turner, very fast for a V6. It is really as 2 seater and I dont see a reason for the backseats. But overall it is the most reliable car Ive ever owned

  Camaro Z28 1996 - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Dr. J. A. Jaar - December 23 - 10:20 am

  Excellent car. GM did not realize how good this car is when they stopped its production. I will keep it for a very long time. We have two more cars, This one is the star.

  Z28 is a great car!!! - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Brian Searles - October 22 - 10:22 pm

  I dont have enough good to say about my 1996 Z28. The LT1 engine provides effortless acceleration, the ride isnt bad for a sports car, and reliability has been great! Mustang has a long way to go to provide the same kind of driving experience of the Camaro/Firebird. Please GM, bring back the F-body......GTO isnt going to cut it!

  Still Crusin - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Kman - May 18 - 1:07 pm

  I bought the car used in 2000. The BOSE was blown but a new custom sound system has me rockin. I like to put on my reflector sunglasses and drive around slowly. It still gets looks and comments. It corners like its on rails and the 3.8 has plenty of power for the light body. I love the car. My girlfriend thinks its too low. Mechanically its been good but interior quality is kind of iffy. Overall, I love the car. At 118,000 I expect to drive her for a while longer.
