Chevrolet did not make these cars to last
I bought a 1982 Chevy Camaro with the hopes to restore it. There were a few problems when I bought it but nothing too bad. This is the first year of this particular generation of Camaros, and I very much enjoy the sleek, low profile look of the car. The t-tops are also wonderful when driving in the summer. It is not the most comfortable car to sit in or drive, but when purchasing a sport car, comfort is not high on the agenda. In the front there is plenty of leg room for the driver and passenger. It has back seats, but they are tiny and cramped, and I would not recommend anyone actually sit back there. I plan on removing mine. When it is actually operational, the car is super fun to drive. It goes quite fast, and is easy to do burnouts.
When I purchased it, the car had less than 100,000 miles on it and was stored in a garage. Since I have owned it, the car frequently breaks down and needs new repairs. I have put all of my money into repairing it so it is drivable and had almost no money left over for the restoration. In the two years I have owned it I replaced the windshield, t-top seals, the radiator, the water pump, the timing belt, the battery, the headlights, the tires, the heater core and a few more things, on top of the regular maintenance it requires. The car gets horrible gas mileage and I cannot get it to stop shooting out black smoke from the exhaust. Overall, if you don't plan on driving the car until it is restored, I would recommend it, but a word of warning - this car is not a daily driver! I wish I would have gotten something smaller, with better gas mileage first so I could stick with restoration project on the Camaro instead of just having to repair it all the time.

Great car and lots of fun!
I love the power and performance of my Camaro. Even though it's only a V6, it has tons of horsepower and great pick up! It gets a lot better gas mileage than I first thought it would. Mine is a standard and in the summer I get around 26-28 miles per gallon. The winter is a little less due to warming up, etc. I only get around 21-24 miles per gallon. I have over 111, 000 miles on it and it seems to really be holding up well. I did have a few issues with the wheel bearings and had to have them replaced, but it was still under warranty so it wasn't a big issue. It's a beautiful car and even though it's six years old, I still get compliments from people on my "new" car. Chevrolet really nailed it with the styling on this one!!
