1995 chevrolet camaro review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. We hated the original multicolored graphics with pale gray on slate gray plastic instrument panels. And we weren't happy about the confusing levels of differentiation between the various models. two years down the road, though, with the full line of arch-competitor ford mustang coupes and convertibles having been introduced, the camaro looks a great deal better than it did initially. The stubby mustang, the overwrought pontiac firebird and the host of japanese coupes that use headlamps as a main design theme on otherwise colorless noses have taken a step back to let the camaro stand out. in terms of competition, the camaro has a dual personality. Packaged with the v8 engine, the z28 has two true competitors: the firebird trans am and the mustang gt. But with the v6 engine, the camaro falls into a completely different, and much larger, category that includes rivals such as the ford probe, honda prelude, mazda mx-6, nissan 240sx, toyota celica and acura integra. Even with the addition of a number of features - including air conditioning, speed control, foglamps, and power door locks/windows/mirrors - we came in at well under $20,000; $18,314, to be exact. walkaroundthe camaro product line has been simplified since the 1993 model year, with only the coupe, the new-for-1995 convertible and the high-performance z28 in either a hardtop or soft-top version. This year, body-color side-view mirrors are standard, and they pull the whole car together better than did the previous design. the z28 high-performance version of the camaro gets the v8 engine, larger tires and a substantially upgraded suspension. None of the plastic panels looked like plastic, the paint job was brilliant, and the car had the wonderfully slick, predatory presence that we think all sports cars should have. interioralthough the camaro is a low-slung, high-style coupe, getting in and out of it isn't as hard as with the corvette. But aft of the rear seat, there is still the handiness and openness of the hatchback body style. The huge glass hatch, though, may be somewhat of a problem for the vertically challenged to operate with total ease. the interior has been up-graded substantially. Chevy designers changed the display graphics from their previous multicolored incarnation to a more peaceful and easy-to-read black and white. the analog gauges include a speedometer, tachometer, voltmeter and trip odometer. There are also gauges that display coolant temperature and oil pressure. the driver's controls are easy to reach and use. And we got reasonably decent fuel economy thrown in. The engine did, however, tend to be a bit on the raucous side. we also wished the 5-speed transmission was a bit smoother and less notchy and noisy. And shift quality was average to stiff. It stacks up well versus a great many japanese coupes, and better in most ways than its cousin firebird or the vaunted mustang. But the mustang convertible holds a slight edge in quality and noise/vibration harshness performance over the camaro convertible.
