The 2018 Chevy Camaro packs muscle-car engines into a sports-car experience. With a range of powerful engines, including 455-horsepower V8 and 335-horsepower V6 options, and sharp handling, the Camaro is an entertaining car to drive. It also offers a pretty comprehensive list of modern tech, including standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto® connectivity, available blind-spot monitoring, and comfort features like heated and cooled front seats. A new base trim, the 1LS, slots in below the 1LT, but the only notable difference is that the former gets a manual transmission while the latter gets an automatic and remote start. You can get the Camaro as a two-door coupe or a convertible.
Unfortunately, driver aids like forward collision warning are lacking, and the Camaro comes with some distinct compromises. Even among sports coupes, the Camaro is difficult to see out of, and both the rear seat and trunk are too small to be of much use. The Camaro is definitely a car that puts attitude ahead of practicality.

Performance: The Camaro has quick acceleration from its strong V8 and V6 engines, and even the base turbocharged four-cylinder feels punchy. The car handles corners with confidence, and the steering is sharp. Overall, the driving experience competes with sports cars that have luxury-car price tags.
Ride Quality: The Camaro’s handling doesn’t come at the cost of ride quality. The base suspension avoids harshness well, and the available adaptive suspension offers a smooth ride in most conditions.
Standard features: The 2018 Camaro comes standard with a good number of features, including a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot and a rearview camera
Usability: The Camaro trades practicality for looks, with its cramped rear seat and undersized trunk. Controls can be awkward to use, and it’s hard to see out of the Camaro. On the whole, other muscle cars are a bit more pleasant to live with for day-to-day tasks.
