- In this video I showcase the 5 reasons why the four cylinder Camaro is a Serious Performance car. This 2.0 Turbo now has over 60,000 miles and during that time I have noticed the outstanding handling and performance due to the low curb weight. With Massive mid - range torque I have enjoyed every mile and have only scratched the surface of what this new Camaro platform is capable of. Make sure to subscribe if you like what you see.

Camero owners on the 80's would have loved to have this 4 cylinder turbo.
I agree
Matthew Perry I don’t think so, I had a one in the 80s and I wasn’t happy that it only came with a 305 v8 with stick shift it was gutless. I should of installed a 396 big block
There was an 89 with a n/a inline 4, but it sucked ass tho and it took 20 seconds (literally 20 seconds) to reach 60mph....yeah
Know they wouldn't lol..
Not at all..
Just wanted to say, I'm still watching this video, as you basically nailed why this car is so great. I finally got my hands on a 2019 2.0T and everything you said is exactly correct. Light weight, good torque, incredible chassis, great value. What's not to like? I even like the sound.
awesome, glad you like it
I almost bought the I4 but the V6 note when I rented it turned me on and I HAD to have it. Don't regret it once however, the I4 is still a sick car for the price to performance ratio. All great points in the video.
Kasane Awesome, glad you like it!
When I was younger I liked the mustang then the concept Camaro the the new mustang and now.... why not both
They are both awesome
Honestly hate the 2015. Looks like a freakin focus. Thankfully Camaro decided to join with the aesthetically challenged 2019 redesign.
It's really sad but it makes me happy I bought the 2018 Camaro.
@@xx294yeah 2016 to 2018 are the best looking for sure
I’d love one of these. And I’d love to put the trans-am conversion on it.
Just bought mine 2017 2LT I LOVE IT!
D Gibson awesome!
Good video man. Great car. I don't own one but I see the appeal. Under rated car. I would consider it in the future.
awesome! Thanks for the feedback
Nice video bro. Just test drove a 2018 RS the past wkend and I loved it, but coming from a base model Lexus that's a few years old, the Camaro seemed a bit limited in regards to the amenities. Also, it's a 2 door car but damn they might as well not even had put in rear seats, nobody and I mean nobody is getting back there. But aside from that, I'd definitely grab one as a second car, but not as a year long daily driver that has a family.
get something that can do both, 2015 Hellcat, 2016 CTS V, Guilia Quadrifoglio
I have the 50th anniversary version of this car. Every things he pointed out aside from tune is very accurate. I can't wait till I do my tune to experience what he's talking about.
Its a very bang for your buck modification. I'm looking for more power and sound though early next year. I'd like to go with rpm motorsports stage 3 package!
The Coolest Courier what's the stage 3?
Bigger Turbo, Upgraded Charge Pipes, Intake, Catless Downpipe and few other things
The Coolest Courier are the internals able to hold a bigger turbo....? I know I want to put better charge pipes and bigger intercooler on mine with a tune to go alone with my cold air intake and full 3" borla exhaust.
I sure hope so! I think the stock internals should be good for at least 430 torque and hopefully more
I also have the 2.o turbo I agree with you it is light & nibble & good on gas, thinking about doing the mods
yeah theres definately a lot of modifications for this car
Great video
Your really good at reviews jimmy! Keep doing your thing! Sending love from Pittsfield massachusetts
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for the review, exactly the info I was looking for. My son wants to by a Camaro and I was Leary about a 4 cylinder engine on a Camaro.
don't own it out of warranty though, reliability is not good
@@TheCoolestCourier Considering buying a 2020 2.0, what issues do they tend to have?
I've put on 84k miles on my 2017...no problems, and with Blizzak's it has been amazing in the snow & ice.
That's good, they can probably last a long time unmodified
Im about to experience my first cold winter as annew camaro owner. Besides new snow tires whats else you recommend? Ive always been carful and driven before in snow and blizzards but this ones new. Especially w reduced visibility.
You may have sold me on the 4 cylinder. Been going back and forth with V6 and 4C. Love the upgrades. So nice.
If your going automatic transmission I would go with the SS or even the V6 for the smooth power band. But if you don't want to spend over 25k and want some good bang for your buck (especially when in a manual). Then the 2.0 Turbo Camaro is a great choice for all of the reasons I named in the video. Its better at being a performance car than an all around car like the SS. The V6 is good all around and it sounds better but its slow and theres no changing that.
The Coolest Courier hmmm yeah I can’t drive a stick hehe Yet. Can the light feature be done after market?
what light feature?
The Coolest Courier color illumination package. Sorry. Random but curious if it can be installed after market
I'm sure there is some company that can do it, but that sounds like an expensive job to try and replicate it well.
"But, but, but, but, butt".... That's my favorite part of the video! Lol
haha secretly mine too
Great video Jimmy! When I bought my 2017 2.0T RS with the 8 speed I paid $23,280. I went with cloth because I don't like leather. I only kept it for 3 months and traded for a 2017 1SS 6 speed and I paid $32,950 for it so both were a steal. There are times when I miss my 2.0 especially with the mpg and how light it feels in the corners compared to my SS. All 3 versions 4, 6 and 8 are phenomenal cars and I totally agree that the 2.0T doesn't get the respect it deserves. If I had the money I'd love to have my 2.0 for a DD and my SS for the weekends. I literally get 9 mpg less with the SS in town and the 6 speed is a chore in traffic despite the light clutch.
If you can deal with the sound of the 2.0 then I would say go for it. I know it sounds crazy, but that is primarily what pushed me to an SS. There is something about that sound coming out of a Camaro that just isn't right for me. Now the 6 cylinder with NPP sounds great and runs nicely on 87 octane. I strongly recommend the optional Brembo's on the 2.0 because the stock breaks are pretty weak.
If anyone plans on getting the 2.0 turbo for daily driving I would say go automatic, beware the short gearing in the manuals! great for a drag race, awful for city driving. 1st gear in the 2.0 tops at 34 mph, in the SS it tops at 55 mph. that's a giant difference in the two manual transmissions.
The Coolest Courier - 100% agree, but the auto doesn't always shift as quick as I liked. Sometimes it would shift quick and other times it had considerable lag regardless of the mode. I'm sure a tranny tune would help tremendously. As a side note, the 6 speed in the turbo is not the same one that's in the SS and the same goes for the 8 speed. I'm not sure how much additional torque either transmission will take in the turbo.
Eric N I want to buy a used camaro 2016 or 17 but is like 14k miles too much or reliable to buy
Go for it man. Mine is a 2016 and I didn't start to feel any wear and tear until 60,000 miles.
I just brought a 2018 4-cylinder RS convertible & I love it! Great on gas I didn't need all that loudness. Plus that model looks way better than the rest of them.
Awesome, glad u like it
Now I want one! Damn!!!
It's an awesome car but if you don't have a car payment right now I wouldn't even mess with new cars and Loans, it's like getting into drugs. I would pay cash for a cheaper fun car like a first gen Miata, a Mustang GT of some sort, or even a Fiesta ST if you can save up that much.Trust me you don't want a car payment unless you own a house and it's paid off.
Wow he has the full on interior options
I have it and it’s amazing bought a brand new turbo 2017 for 19k (Labor Day sales and had to find the perfect dealership to find the price (Miami-dade)) but it’s a really fun car, I can’t understand why people will hate this car.
Yeah can get a ton of performance, features, and great looks for an affordable price.
J i bought the one without the RS package, didn’t see why I should buy it if I was going to do a lot of the upgrades, tail lights, black bow tie, side markers, 3rd brake, and etc. The money for the RS package I put into that^^^, the only downside is the headlights but oh well I can find some in the future. Go to the west Kendall Chevy dealership. Nguyen helped me out, he’s honest and fast what he do. It’s a great car I don’t regret it
That's awesome. Yeah I think an SS is a great car from the factory but if you just put 1k into the base turbo camaro it becomes just as awesome. Exterior mods, a tune, boom now it's fast and looks great
The Coolest Courier yeah the SS is amazing but my budget doesn’t reach to that level yet lol but for people who think the turbo can’t live up to expectation. They’re wrong. It’s still a fun car and with the right mods it can put a hell of a smile
Absolutely! Speaking of which I just got back from an epic canyon drive. If it wasn't too dark the footage may be up tonight
I seen on tonight at Chevy 2018 I liked it
IG fam 👌 Can't wait to see where this channel goes 👐
I'm trying man! Thanks for the support!
It's just nice to finally see some content featuring hyper blue 2lts, I haven't driven the turbo yet (no dealers had the turbo when I was shopping). But I definitely want to now 👌
yeah I'm getting back to this camaro content. its what people want to see. If this channel grows I plan to make this car a track weapon hopefully running about 500 hp or more and all zl1 tires and suspension.
The Coolest Courier I definitely approve of that 👍
great video! i’m looking into getting a 4c camaro and i’ve managed to find a 2016 2lt fully loaded, no sunroof, with 15k miles for $24k but it’s an automatic. do you think this is a good deal, and how do you feel about the automatic? it would be my daily driver. thanks for any feedback, keep up the great content!
Thank you! I appreciate it. Let me give you a run down on choosing your next car. Of course this is just my opinion but here it goes.
Now that I've had 68000 miles of experience with the new Camaro platform. Here's my opinion on the first three engines.
For the most bang for your buck with a stock car that you won't feel the need to modify hardly at all I would say the SS is Leaps and Bounds better than the 2.0 and the V6. I would do everything in your power to try to find a base model used one at Carmax or another used Market, they can be had for under 30 grand easy.
As for the V6 I think it is the superior car to the 2.0 if you absolutely 100% do not want to modify your car in any way. It will be smooth, reliable, handle great and do all of the usual Camaro things, except for accelerate, the V6 is not very quick, there's no getting around that and if you buy one you can expect it to be a little slow for the duration of ownership because modifying a V6 is very expensive.
Now the 2.0 Turbo is by far the most interesting of the bunch. In stock form it feels quicker than the V6 but it is not as smooth of an engine and it is unreliable if you do not immediately install a catch can for the oil that turbo creates.
Now like I said if you install a catch can and eventually some steel charge pipes, a simple tune on this car unleashes the Beast. The torque is almost up there with the SS motor, it will not be quite as fast but it's pretty damn close to it.
So if you plan to tune the 2.0 Turbo I do think it is a way better and more fun experience driving that car than a V6, it's not even comparable.
On a side note I would like to add that I personally think the Fiesta ST and maybe even the Focus ST are the kings of bang for your buck for a fun car, they are older so you can get them for around 19 k. They are not as fun as a new Camaro SS but out of the box they both Drive better than a 2.0 Turbo Camaro and V6 Camaro. But as you can see from my other video when you tune both cars the Camaro is the faster car and it's also nicer on the inside.
Lastly I want to say, If you have the power to get a manual, I would absolutely do it. I think it makes any car a little more special, its more connection to the car and can make you a much better driver in the long term.
I hope all that helps, I wanted to be thorough because I wish someone would have told me this when I bought my 2.0. Good luck!
That's a horrible deal
Wait so all you did was tune it stock ? I have a 2.0 Camaro 2017 I want to push more power what’s some good advice to do to this car ?
Make mine a 1LT 1LE in crush with the I4 turbo. Thank you. Signed, Challenger and Monte Carlo SS owner.
So do the 4cly turbos have the same Oracle lights like the v6 and SS??
Nope.
I have a 2019 2.0 t base model.. I love that ride.. im looking into doing some performance mods.. tunes can you suggest anything
muffler delete, cold air intake, blow off valve
over here with my 2.0t beating v6 mustang and camaros and the ecoboost camaro and many others i love this car
Nice. Just keep it stock and under warranty. It's not the most reliable motor
@@TheCoolestCourier trust me I know I'm on my second engine lol Its mostly because the blow by
REALLY NICE CAR FOR THE MONEY (392 TORQUE) INCREDIBLE
Michael Crawley thanks!
Can you give me tips as to how I should go about buying a used one with about 10-30k miles? I see ones that go for 20-26k, but I have no idea if I'm going to get ripped off or not. I have no clue as for their value. I know I can't afford a brand new one nor a 2017 one, even at used. I've been trying to learn as much as I can about the 6th gen camaros recently through videos like yours.
Thaison Nguyen well if you look at my more recent videos the motor blew on my car. I have a cracked piston and I don't recommend the 2.0 Turbo Camaro if you're planning to modify the car at all. If you want to save a ton of money in the long run get your Camaro or Mustang at Carmax and get their hundred and fifty thousand mile warranty with the zero deductible. If you're looking at one of the pony cars I would personally get a used Mustang GT from CarMax. Or try to find a Camaro SS there. But if you don't need that much power and you don't plan to modify the 2.0 Turbo I would still go there just get a really high warranty though
Also I wouldn't pay over 20K for a base model and I wouldn't pay over 24K for a fully loaded one if you're looking at used. If you're looking for a car though you should totally test drive a Fiesta ST, they have them lightly used for 17 K and I drove a few recently and they are insanely fun
Let's go!!! Looks great!
your review made my friend want a prelude lol
How's the fuel economy for this car? And does the bigger turbo affect it?
20 when tuned, 24 stock
Jimmy Brooks what is that mean ?
@@50drayco93 24 mpg (miles per gallon)
@@TheCoolestCourier that's worse than my supercharged 3.0 does.
Reason 6. I own 1.
kabar48 ha
Whats more reliable engine wise ? V8 or the v4 on the camaro without any mods
V8
I totally agree with you,
I have an 2017 RS It is a real sports car now!
Lol 😆🤣Until you pull up next to a real sports car!
I totally agree! Ibhad the red 2.0 and my daily. Sending wishes from channel to yours😊
Thank you!
I'm deciding back and forth between this and the V6 camaro, as I won't be doing any aftermarket mods as it's a daily/lease car for me I don't really know if i want the 2.0 as it is slower stock.
I would go for the V6 then. its smoother and quicker, and sounds better from the factory.
@@TheCoolestCourier Awesome thank you very much, It was a tie up between a camaro and the Mustang ecoboost but the turn circle on the mustangs i find is genuinely awful so
it concerned me as a daily driver if i ever go downtown or am in tight parking garages, on top of the fact when i drove it as a rental for 2 weeks i found the low beams on the car
are very low and borderline unusable on anything but the most well lit main roads. Not sure about the camaro as I've yet to drive one, but the interior exterior and option of a good performance V6 really attracted me as the challenger/charger V6 is borderline Family car slow and sounds like nothing.
Have you thought about a used 370Z? I've seen nice ones for 16k. Calculate how much a lease would be on a V6 camaro. its most likely right around $16,000 to drive it for 36 months then give it back. Or at the end of 3 years you could own a 370Z and now you have an asset, you can drive that thing forever, or sell it. That's what I would do personally.
I'm also uploading a review tonight that is a great alternative to the V6 Camaro and 370Z. It will be up in about an hour. I worked hard on it lol
@@TheCoolestCourier the 370Z is a bit too low and small for me in terms of it's feeling, ontop of the fact the car won't be parked in a driveway but instead a ditch in front of my apartment, and last time i looked maybe I'm wrong but the 370Z has next to nothing for ground clearance.
Also I know the V6 is rather thirsty in the 370Z at least more so than the camaro from my experience, and I'm a slightly bigger guy so the kind of small buckets the 370Z has is somewhat uncomfortable which is why i was originally considering a Challenger but that V6 it has is just to anemic and slow for my own personal taste.
On Top of the fact I'm more leasing with the high chance of buying at the end, My main reason for leasing is due to the fact that this will be my first ever car and coming from a family who hates anything north american car wise I'm inherently a bit hesitant to get one of these cars even though i absolutely love them.
Sorry for the long comment but yeah that kind of explains my situation.
Oh ok I see, yeah the v6 camaro is all around good and practical at everything. I'd go used 2016 though. unless the used interest is abnormally high
Great review,,,You hit all the points. Do you know if 2020 4 cylinder has less turbo lag?
No there's a ton of turbo lag. It's worth getting an SS or if your budget conscious a C5 Corvette or 90s Honda or Integra. Or if you want to buy new and want ZL1 performance for $8000 you could do what I did and get into bikes. I just picked up a Yamaha XSR700 2 days ago. Most fun thing I've ever owned.
@@TheCoolestCourier jimmy..lol..you are funny bro...nothing beat a bike...I totally agree..I am thinking to get the 2020 1lt 8 cylinder..what do you think about the v8 engine and that 10 speed transmission? Is it reliable...
@@TheCoolestCourier jimmy , you didnt want to buy a honda cb650r instead of your Yamaha 700
I've heard that's a good transmission
No I love the 270 degree parallel twin in the xsr700. It's such a rowdy chaotic engine. It's almost like buying a Shelby gt350 over a ZL1. Special engine. The cbr vs xsr video from Yammie Noob was the final convincing.
The pride in me wants to dog it for being a 4 cylinder turbo, but it's a Camaro. Handling, and performance are there, there is no debate. Say what you want but it's faster than 70% of the cars on the road. It's just the world we live in! Plus this dude must be comfy as heck in those leather seats listening to his favorite songs on his BOSE speakers while smoking everyone in traffic! At the end of the day just love your car.
Yeah that's exactly how it was when I owned it. Too bad it is a pretty unreliable motor though. Financially the best move is to have something like a 2004 Camry for a daily and then like a weekend Miata or small Honda. Or for people who have the need for speed you could get into bikes. I got my license a few months ago and haven't looked back since. Beginner-ish bikes do 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds
I have one and I love it
Awesome!
my 2016 v6 6 speed fully loaded for 23k is pretty solid near 350 hp to the wheels im at 40k miles now got it with 0 miles off the lot not dissapointed whatsoever
That's super nice man, it's probably more reliable and it sounds better anyway. I like the massive torque you can get out of the 4-cylinder but the trade-off is it's not worth it I would say for most people
How are you getting 350 to the wheels?
@@dateatorjr9671 stock 3.6l makes 335.. cai, exhaust and a tune will get u there.. I shoulda just got the v8 tho :/
Hey men I have a 17 camaro 2.0 as well, I have tons of ideas for the car but something I would like to know, after the tune you did to the car how is the turbo lag?
A tad better, the main difference is with the tune helping the lag is boost comes on at 1900 rpm rather than 2300 like its originally programmed.
Thanks men, I'm getting the tune soon, I had this car for about 4 months, so far the only mod I've done is the oracle side markers in leds. But many mods to come.
nice! yeah the tune makes this car properly quick, I think you'll like it
Damn, the turbo Camaro does seem chill af. I must drive one. I really wanna compare it to my 1SS. Still I would never sell or trade my Camaro for anything. I love it. Got it about a week ago. Damn. It’s a beast. Cool lil review though.
its a smooth driving car. only thing i dont like about it is you can feel every single bump, potholes..and the car doesn’t recline like the older models
I just got a 2020 Camaro LT in may. Its a great , fun car but I want more power. Any recommendations on starting mods I can do??
Its called take out the engine and replace with a coyote 5.0
Don't listen to that guy. That's expensive. Take the msf course and get yourself a used fzo7. That should keep you entertained for years
@@TheCoolestCourier your right Jimmy. Tell him "get the ecoboost" 😂😂😂😂
@@yasharservantofyahawashi8345 definitely not. If your looking for speed, bikes are such a cheaper option
I got the 2017 RS 1LT ... wish I got the 2LT if only I knew it had all those add ons :(
Where can u get the tune ups ??
Augustus Constantine Rpm motor sports or Vermont tuning
I want one ....how reliable is it...heard you got 60k MILES any big issues during that time
I actually had issues at 66000 miles with the car misfiring. These cars need a catch can installed right away to prevent the excess oil from reaching the intake and cylinders.
Nice ride. I'm actually a V8 Chevy guy.. how is the 4 cylinder Motor and turbo any major issues over time. I am thinking of buying a redline edition soon
U Tuber these vehicles have a lot of blow by and oil can get into the intake and cylinders if a catch can is not installed right away. This car can be very reliable as long as owners put the catch can and eventually some steel charge pipes on it.
The Coolest Courier : I totally understand thanks for the reply
Anyone know about depreciation on the vehicle ? Since it’s a I4 ? VS the V6?
I just got me a 2017 6speed 2.0T it's a nice car.
Fuel consumption please
@@funnylad0043 normal is around 34 mpg but I been using it differently everyday so not getting that but I did drove to dallas and 1 tank lasted 590 miles I went to dallas drove got back to Oklahoma and 2 days later then I filled up so as far as fuel is the best one and it's actually better than the V6 since V6 onky has a few points of higher HP but V4 has higher torque so in the end the 2.0T wins I'm going to also buy a pedal commander for it and tomorrow I'm straight piping the rear of the exhaust I'm hoping for a unique sound and to bring the real energy out of the car with the pedal commander.
@@benignrabbit1882 thank u for the reply :-) enjoy your camaro. Peace Bro
tuned its 20mpg. stock its 23
@@TheCoolestCourier well shit idk what I have causenim getting over 30 over 35 if I do highway. When I got the car I took it on a 5 hour drive that friday to dallas drove for a bit used it on Saturday then sunday drove 6 hours back I didnt fill up u til tuesday it gave me 590 miles for 1 tank. I just haven't been getting that cause I'm testing it a bunch different ways right now but I'll make a video of what I am truly getting on the car no lie I get over 30 easy
Solid point; if it came from Japan, didn't look like that and had a different name - People would love it.
2:04 Air filter box is loose.
Not sure if you remember or still even have the car … I have a 2017 2.0t and want to tune it. What tune did you do to yours?
I dont have it. I sold it. I ride sport bikes and dirt bikes mainly now. Tuning this car really ruins the reliability. My motor was misfiring at 66000 miles.
Hey I was wondering how much does it cost for the to let you have on your car?
what?
@@TheCoolestCourier ha ha sorry bout that... Was using google voice and didn't check it...
I was asking how much does or did your tune cost for your car....??
$300 to $500
cute trunk space!
Tianzhu Li haha thanks
I ‘ll definitely get a pony car after i graduate, good vid!
Tianzhu Li thanks! By the time you are ready to buy a car you could probably pick up a 2015 Mustang GT for a bargain
The Coolest Courier Will be under my consideration！
I checked the published MPG of the base 2017 Camaro. It has around the same MPG as my base 2005 Galant :(
wish I have a Camaro LT.
Well I wondered how long it would take for GM to start offering the pussified version of the Camaro..... Cant wait for the 4 cylinder Corvette next
Crazystuffyousee you wouldn't be saying that if you drove mine as it sits right now lol.
What are you driving?
I drive a 15 arc and I like the 4 cylinder turbo Camaros. Looks like America is finally taking on the Japanese the affordable performance market. I bought my car assuming America wasn't going to improve on their cars considering the last Camaro was garbage
I know I’m 3 years late but I really want this car would you recommend it for a first car ? I’m 18 I gotta know if it’s too much for a 18year old to handle
It's not that powerful so no it's not too much is far as driving Dynamics. It's the price that's too much for a first car. I had no business owning this car with my level of income. I don't trust this motor either. I would pick up maybe a used one with 30,000 miles on it and sell it before the warranty is up. Just make sure you're paying cash for whatever you do. What's your budget and how many miles do you drive a day? I can point you in the direction of a good car
2LT 2SS
When you adding more mods broski, gotta make it go faster man haha 😜
When this channel gets more popular, mods are not cheap!
380 lb ft of torque? almost 100 from just a tune? crazy. Could you link the tune?
It was from zzp performance but I'm not sure if they offer tuning anymore. I wouldn't suggested anyway, these engines don't react well to pressure and it will void your warranty
I'm picking up a 2020 today.
Nice!
Lookn at one today ,hows the gas mileage
terrible when tuned lol I would look at a used 5.0 mustang for the reliability alone. Or a used SS
Is the engine reliable I wanna get one like any major issues?
No it's it's not reliable I sold mine recently and I heard the new owner is having problems as well. If you want a reliable sports car get a first gen Miata. if that's not enough for you get C5 Corvette. Buy something cash, you won't regret it
@@TheCoolestCourier alright thank you bro I appreciate it
Great review from an owner who drives a lot... 60,000 miles.. is that in California?
Thanks, I just did my final review at 80000, miles check it out. Yes I'm in California
I drove a 1991 Z28 Convert over 250,000 miles in 15 years all over CA, NV, Arizona, Utah, Oregon.. Have fun in the mountains..!!
295 to 378 of torque? What tune is it? Vermont ? Is that their stage 1 ? Sounds too good to be true. How much to get it from 295 to 378 ? 500$?
that is RPM Motor Sports stock custom tune. 350$ and yeah I wanna Dyno it and see what its making at the wheels.
I’m thinking about getting one. Anyone have one recommend or otherwise??
These modern chevys have some issues. I would make sure to own it under warranty. I reccomend a Lexus LS430. They go for good deals!
@@TheCoolestCourier copy that. Thanks for your advice. I love the look of the camaros and my father worked for GM growing up so I try to buy Chevy
A 2016 17 or 18 Camaro SS is a damn good car. The 1LE is even better but those held their value a little more
they should make the 4cyl awd
Not a bad idea.
Great to see that people are posting good vibes about 4cyl Camaros! Did your rims come black or did you have them painted? If you did, did you powder coat or plastidip?
JW Faulkner Thanks! Yeah I plasti dipped them.
The Coolest Courier did you use a clear coat plasticity after or straight up black? They look great!
I’ve got a black ‘17 Camaro and wanting to make it 100% black lol
JW Faulkner I use a clear coat on most of my clients cars so it lasts longer, but mine is just matte black with the plasti dip
Gotcha, I'll try it out. Thanks!
A Camaro is a muscle car! a Vette is a sports car.
LAMPS LIFE I was going by my definition of a sports car which is a relatively lightweight car that handles well and has pretty big Power. I would say that the only brand new muscle car left in production is the charger and Challenger Hellcat because it's a very heavy car that is not concerned with handling and it has too much power for its tires and Chassis
I like how all the reviews are like “the 2.0T is actually a great car!” and some TH-cam comment from someone in a 1998 civic says “nah lol”
Haha, that's just how it is
Fucking lost it when I saw what was in the trunk!
haha yeah
How many miles do you have now on the car ? 😀
Sold it at 93000 miles. It was very unreliable and expensive to own. Financially the best move is to have something like a 2004 Camry for a daily and then like a weekend Miata or small Honda. Or if you want affordable speed like I did more people should consider getting into bikes. I got my license a few months ago and haven't looked back since. Beginner-ish bikes do 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds
@@TheCoolestCourierwhat went wrong with it, you say it’s unreliable
Im interested in buying or leasing this Camaro in V6 or a even I4 but Ive found out that the Camaro has reliability issues. Is that a concern for me. How has your Camaro been in Quality and reliability? The other car I'm looking at is the Nissan 370Z but I like this Camaro better.
Let me give you a run down on choosing your next car. Of course this is just my opinion but here it goes.
Now that I've had 68000 miles of experience with the new Camaro platform. Here's my opinion on the first three engines.
For the most bang for your buck with a stock car that you won't feel the need to modify hardly at all I would say the SS is Leaps and Bounds better than the 2.0 and the V6. I would do everything in your power to try to find a base model used one at Carmax or another used Market, they can be had for under 30 grand easy.
As for the V6 I think it is the superior car to the 2.0 if you absolutely 100% do not want to modify your car in any way. It will be smooth, reliable, handle great and do all of the usual Camaro things, except for accelerate, the V6 is not very quick, there's no getting around that and if you buy one you can expect it to be a little slow for the duration of ownership because modifying a V6 is very expensive.
Now the 2.0 Turbo is by far the most interesting of the bunch. In stock form it feels quicker than the V6 but it is not as smooth of an engine and it is unreliable if you do not immediately install a catch can for the oil that turbo creates.
Now like I said if you install a catch can and eventually some steel charge pipes, a simple tune on this car unleashes the Beast. The torque is almost up there with the SS motor, it will not be quite as fast but it's pretty damn close to it.
So if you plan to tune the 2.0 Turbo I do think it is a way better and more fun experience driving that car than a V6, it's not even comparable.
On a side note I would like to add that I personally think the Fiesta ST and maybe even the Focus ST are the kings of bang for your buck for a fun car, they are older so you can get them for around 19 k. They are not as fun as a new Camaro SS but out of the box they both Drive better than a 2.0 Turbo Camaro and V6 Camaro. But as you can see from my other video when you tune both cars the Camaro is the faster car and it's also nicer on the inside.
Lastly I want to say, If you have the power to get a manual, I would absolutely do it. I think it makes any car a little more special, its more connection to the car and can make you a much better driver in the long term.
I hope all that helps, I wanted to be thorough because I wish someone would have told me this when I bought my 2.0. Good luck!
Thanks Jimmy for your generous feedback , but since I'm older and don't want to do mods as this Camaro will be my daily driver and don't want to spend for Insur. & gas on the fiery SS, its the turbo or a V6. I am over 50 and want it to be my last "sports car" and daily driver for the next 4 or 5 years before I end up with a Camry or something , lol. In other words will the simple 2LT 2.0 turbo/automatic last me 5 years with no issues over ..say, a V6 Camaro 2LT? thanks
Since you're looking for a vehicle to be nice and reliable in stock form I think my vote between the two Camaros would have to go to the V6. It's quite a lovely engine. It's plenty fast in automatic form, also you should definitely go out of your way to find one equipped with the dual mode quad exhaust, it sounds amazing.
The new Camaros have only been out 3 years so I cannot say for sure on the reliability but when you add a turbo to any vehicle it complicates everything and does suck some of the lifespan away from it which is why I think the V6 May last longer.
So my final verdict would be if you are buying an automatic vehicle for sure then the V6 Camaro is going to be the perfect car for you. If you are interested in buying a manual then I still think Ford's ST lineup is still by far the way to go if you're concerned with a car being fun to drive. My only gripe with the way the new Camaros Drive is that the throttle is just very lazy and I wish it had a sharper feel to it. But other than that they are amazing.
Thanks again.
that interior blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
what?
I drove one 2 weeks ago, go buy one 👍
Just don't modify it. these engines aren't very strong
Thanks Jimmy for the advice 👍
I’m gonna buy a 2018 1LT RS, it’s a v6 and I’ve wanted a Camaro for so long
That's pretty good but you could probably get a 2016 SS for the same money
Jimmy Brooks its $19,500 for what I’m looking to buy, I don’t know if I could get a 2016 ss for that
I liked the video
Thanks!
Everyone watching this video: Man, great video Jimmy!
Me: Look at this weebs plushies >:3
NerdyPinkLeopard Animates haha they're the best
I have a 2017 camaro and i never drive below 90mph on the highway. Seems like a waste not to.
Yeah it masks speed for sure
Got mine finally after seeing bumblebee copy the NEW gen one in transformers when i was a kid.
Lol picked up a krypton green ;) bahahah
Nice! I love that color
I recently bought one and this is a turbo 4 cylinder belive me it has everything. I love this car. Don’t belive me watch out in my channel and if u like it hit a like plz & thanks 😊🤗🙏🏼
My 1985 civic has a bigger trunk and rear passenger space than my 2012 camaro.
Thanks for this valuable info🤮
Marco MM glad I can help.
only juice and soda come in 2.0 L
Is that the RS??
Jack Kaplan Yes
Just curious why isn’t their a turbo v6 ?? I’m just dying to know
I know right? thats really what the mid camaro should be, turbo v6, about 380 hp
Hey Jimmy why some camaros come with day running lights and others do not?
the rs package comes with those lights. or an ss or zl1
Jimmy Brooks I have a coupe turbo can I upgrade to that package?
I think I will get a car like this because I want own a car out of dodge Chevy ford but I don’t want to be too broke so I’ve decided to get the v6 on all of them, so far I want a 2014sxt plus if I get a AWD I wouldn’t mind, and I want a Camaro but not the newest year more like a 2015 but the cheapest model since I just want it for how they look not to compete with everyone
My best advice for not being broke is don't mess with cars. I got out of the car scene a long time ago and switched to motorcycles and never looked back. Unparalleled fun while being 10 times cheaper in most cases.
Do not finance vehicles, only buy what you can save up for.
@@TheCoolestCourier that’s where there’s a problem you think I might like what you like, but you can’t just tell people not to get into car scene, I like cars even if it ain’t gonna be cheap, but I have thought about motorcycles but the way people are with them I don’t want to see myself become a asshole and think I have every right to do what those people who give motorcycles a bad name, and yes I plan on not financing them I just want the old 2015 and below years of them not the new ones, also if I do get in a incident I rather be in a car than a motorcycle I only plan on buying one is to ride in city’s and that’s it go in and out for dates but for long roads a car is better
Yeah cars on long trips are way way better. Cars are definitely safer. I was deep into cars and the motorcycle scene, I've seen both, they're pretty much the same as far as respectful people to asshole ratio. Both cars and bikes have their share.
Being into cars is fantastic unless the primary goal is excitement and adrenaline. Which I was always chasing with cars. The Camaro was too buttoned up. It did not give that to me at all. I have owned some Hondas that were actually more exciting to drive. The most exciting car I've ever driven is a Shelby GT350. After driving that I started riding about 6 months later and bought an $8,000 XSR 700 brand new and I couldn't believe that an $8,000 bike was infinitely more exciting and crazier to operate on the road than that Shelby, my favorite car, 65k purpose built for a track fun. As cliche as it sounds, it felt like a cage in comparison.
@@TheCoolestCourier I really will consider a motorcycle at some point maybe when I get social with people, I want to see how I can handle myself when it comes to cops who will stop you for no apparent reasons
@__safeguard2154 it's been four years for me and I haven't been pulled over, I don't do anything excessively dumb and cops are kind of cool around here. Definitely wear full gear . You look a couple videos back on my channel. I got hit by a deer and had a head-on collision with a car. Airbag vest saved My upper body from injuries. I was also wearing, armored and slide resistant jacket and pants, gloves, and riding boots
How much did the tune cost you?
$350
Good Deal, thanks man. Great Car for the price
Am 19 , is this a good car for me ?
Unless you make over 100k a year absolutely not. This car made me broke for 3 years. I sold it and now I drive a 1998 Acura Integra. It was $1800 and I couldn't be happier with it.
Jimmy Brooks can u make some suggestions , which car would be good to buy for myself ?
Jimmy Brooks is this car really that expensive to maintain? I’m 18 right now and I turn 19 next year and I will plan to buy it next year. I plan to buy the car cash for around 17 grand but if it’s going to make me broke then i might have to reconsider lol.
@@50drayco93 buy a volvo 240, they old af but are a sleeper and can last up to 300K miles, they are a safe great bulletproof first car,
Should have got a V8
yes indeed, its a more reliable way to make the power mine has
Is it reliable ?
I had issues with mine but it was modified. It might last a while if you just leave it stock but I wouldn't trust it past 100,000 mi
wait so your car is tuned?
It was most of the time when I had it
still Will never compare to an ss
Yep, totally different cars. This car has a meaner sounding No Lift Shift, Blow off valve is way cheaper to achieve, and it has 50/50 weight distribution. The SS has A nicer sound overall, and of course no turbo lag is nice.
And after all that.. still should buy an ss...lol
Agreed. Or just get a sport bike and save 20k
:)
A Camaro, Challenger or Mustang is a joke if it does not have a V8. I have driven several and they just feel lost without the rumble and torque of the V8 and also kinda pointless. It is like only buying half of it.
Yeah overall it's way better with the V8. but the handling of that car with the small motor in there is absolutely incredible. I'm not sure if you've driven the new Camaros but they all handle super well so when you reduce it by 400lbs its really light on its feet. I don't have this car anymore but I was really into the handling more than anything. I don't really Chase horsepower with cars. I ride sport bikes so every car is kind of slow to me. Unless it's a Tesla or a 911 Turbo S. Those two launch better than bikes honestly.
Are people in the Camaro community less annoying than people in the Mustang community? 🤔
No. It's the same. Get into bikes. They're faster and the community is friendlier
4 cyl car should weigh 2300lbs
I agree, that's why I got an Acura Integra. But then I went even lighter. now I ride motorcycles lol
"Lamborghini aggressive"...come on now bro lol
Collins I'm not saying Camaros look like Lamborghinis I was just saying that they have just as many sharp angles on the front end
It's a nice car but for a 4 banger it doesn't get very good fuel economy at 22mpg. That's why I'm opting for Altima instead at 32mpg.
