YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 2dr Convertible 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Either young children for longer drives or most adults for trips below 30-40 miles each way. Just a "small car" (though with more rear-room that Lexus 250-350 4-door series!). see full BMW 1-Series review
2008 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD
Impractical for adults for anything but short runs see full BMW 1-Series review

2012 2dr Convertible 323-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The rear seat is small and unlike the nonconvertable does not have a center seat. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
2010 2dr Coupe 304-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The interior leather seats are extremely comfortable to the point where my wife commented that she could sit in them for hours more.They are firm with good support. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
2010 2dr Coupe 304-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed manual RWD
Envelops you in a cocoon from which to manage the beat within. see full Chevrolet Camaro review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 2dr Coupe 304-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed manual RWD
comfort is fine, but not for large adults. All the kids are gone now so no problem for me. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
2010 2dr Coupe 304-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Not to complain about a great car, but a muscle car like the Camaro is really bought as a 2 seater, but for short trips, can accomodate 4. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
