The wheels are a tad nicer in person. I wasnt to fond of them but im warming up to em.

But haven't really had a chance to see what the car is all about yet

Can't use the camaro all year round. Goes no where in the snow and taking a beating on 287 everyday. Gas mileage is killing me as well in that car.

ok cool lol pretty much the same reason why I bought my jeep minus the gas mileage. the camaros suck in the snow. even with winter tires the clearance is still an issue.

There's also this: http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=61831

Considering his commute, it makes sense. Plus, a warranty is always nice!

Sweet! My mom has a 2011. Nice car. Not too expensive, has a "luxury" feel to it, and can get out of its own way.

It was alot more expensive then what I was originally looking at. Most of the cars on my list were 18-21k.

This car was 27k for the same lease price as any of the others. Others being base velostar, base focus, Scion tcrs 8.0, base lancer, forte koupe, golf. . .

In that case, you made the best decision...doesn't scream out ricer or basic commuter but rather nice sedan.

Car isn't to slow no camaro though lol.

Gas mileage is expected between 28-33 avg.

love the interior, bluetooth and sound system. Tints will be coming next week some time and possibly a k5 rear window spoiler to top it off.

All in all I love the car
