i picked it up last Saturday. It is a new 2014 Camaro 2SS with 29 miles (I put 20 miles on it during the test drive) that was sitting on the dealership's lot for over a year. Sticker price of $43,480 and I bought it for 33,166. I traded in my 2003 Trailblazer and got $4,200 for it plus I got window tint, stripes, and wheel locks for the Camaro. So $28,966 plus TT&L after trade in.

Is the backseat as useless as those in the mustang?

I took a photo of the back seat just to show the blue color seats.

If you are over 5 foot 8, your head touches the ceiling. But I took 3 of my buddies out to lunch and they said for really short trips, it wasn't too bad.

My daughter is 5 foot 4 and she said it was comfy.

Does she have legs?

Everyone that rode in the back seat of my 2013 Mustang said it was super comfortable, just no leg room so they had to sit sideways a little lol.

That said, I test drove a Camaro before I bought the Mustang, and I just didn't like the layout of the buttons / controls. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.

This is one car I wished I'd like. Rented one for 3 days, even did some canyon driving. Sad.

Thank GOD it is, hate all that push button crap.

Nice car, auto = disappointment (but as long as OP likes it, that's all that matters).

Do you have a car with push button start? Keyed cars annoy me now...I can't imagine buying a new car without it.

It's not make or break for my next car but it really is a nice feature to have.

It gets annoying switching between my car (key start) and my wife's car (push button). I hop in my car without getting the key out and realize I need the key. Time for the odd plank-like maneuver to get the key out of my pocket.
