Wow! That's cool! This is how everyone who sees a Chevrolet Camaro is passing by reacts. The fifth generation model, along with the Ford Mustang 5, is one of the best incarnations of the American Muscle Car. But in our country, it is a real exotic.

Chevrolet Camaro 5th generation was equipped with two petrol atmospheric: 3.6-liter V6 (305-328 hp) and 6.2-liter V8 (400-589 hp). The price tag on the secondary market starts at the mark of 900 000 rubles, while the new car cost at least 3 900 000 rubles. For comparison - in Germany, the Camaro from the cabin with a 432-horsepower V8 was available for 39,990 euros (2.8 million rubles). For V8 in the Russian secondary market ask for at least 1,500,000 rubles.

The sports seats are very comfortable. Heated seats work even without the ignition, which threatens to discharge the battery if you forget to turn it off.

The quality of the materials does not correspond to such a high price.

At least 13 liters!

How does modern Mascle-Kar go in retro style? Forget all the prejudices about American cars. Camaro is obedient and accurate. Its running gear with a fully independent suspension works no worse than in European sports cars. Double transverse arms are installed on the front axle and a four-link system is installed on the rear.

Chevrolet engines, both V6 and V8, will last a very long time with regular maintenance. The durability of the automatic transmission directly depends on the timeliness of the oil change along with the filter.

After 100,000 km, the glands of the engine, transmission and differential often begin to “snot”.

The V6 doesn’t sound as loud as the powerful V8. It only consumes about 11 liters. The V8, with its illustrious roar, is less legible. At least 13 liters, even though there is a modern system of cylinders shutdown. With a sporty manner of driving, the flow jumps to 18 liters.

The brakes will require a lot of expense. The new brake discs and pads, along with the replacement work, will cost $600.

In general, for the power of this order, the Chevrolet Camaro is not expensive. But make no mistake. Service won't be cheap. The costs will be incurred in exchanging consumables and fast-wearing tires, and the fuel appetite is comparable to that of a Porsche.

The body of the Camaro is not prone to corrosion. But the lack of anticory is alarming. Additional conservation will not hurt.

General Motors worldwide recalled 500,000 Chevrolets due to the possibility of unintentional engine shutdown in case of accidental contact of the ignition key with the driver's knee.

Typical problems and malfunctions

In the transmission quite often it is necessary to change the cracked anthers of the drive shaft.

In machines with manual transmission does not withstand heavy loads of the squeezable bearing. Its life depends largely on the driving style and ranges from 10 to 20,000 km.

Some 2009 cars were a concern because of the high vibration. As a result of the recall campaign, the problem was eliminated.

Buying a larger V8 might be justified in light of chronic problems with the chain tensioner of a six-cylinder engine.

In some models in 2012, the heat exchanger declared a strike. Replacing it is an expensive treat, as you had to remove the entire front panel.

A number of cars got on warranty replacement of the rear differential due to lack of oil.

At least 13 liters!

And yet the cost of a spectacular American legend is a little overstated. Technically, there are no complaints – reliability is at a good level, however, the quality of execution is not the best. Additional anti-corrosion treatment of hidden cavities is especially recommended – if someone plans to enjoy the purchase for a very long time.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.
