2010 Chevrolet Camaro Review

The stitched leather wrap on the steering wheel is nice, although the three-spoke design doesn't make you say wow. The cloth bucket seats are comfortable, with decent bolstering, although we wonder if it's enough to keep an aggressive driver in his or her place during hard cornering. The front seat slides 8.5 inches and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes, so drivers of all sizes will fit; based on Camaro sales history, lots of women buyers are anticipated. The standard cloth upholstery is good, with excellent leather on available in black, gray, beige and two-tone Inferno Orange.

The climate control buttons on the center stack don't seem to be designed for ease of touch, but for looks. However we've touched worse. And those four gauges down on the center console forward of the shift lever are an affectation; they're optional, but most Camaros will probably have them. The center console and armrest is nice, solid, and handsome in leather.

Visibility through the windshield is good despite the long hood and raked windshield, thanks to careful location of the driver's seat. Rear visibility over the driver's shoulder isn't very good, but then it's impossible to make it good with a roofline this sporty. Ferraris don't have good rearward vision, either.

The trunk is deep but the opening isn't large and it's almost flat, but it's worth it for the handsome rear deck. Good thing there's a pass-through to the trunk behind the rear seat, which isn't easy to crawl into, and feels a bit like a pit.

The rear seat legroom measures 29.9 inches, a distinction, as few cars today break below that 30-inch mark. In other words, you'll want to avoid sitting back there.
