I have the 2018 Camaro SS in nightfall gray metallic with black powder coated rims,black lug nuts.The emblems I changed to black and the taillights and 3rd brake light. The car is very comfortable the seats hug you perfectly. The 2019 is the same engine and power. The front can easily be wrapped the color of the car to make it look better.If you get black you are fine. The back taillights are something to get used to but if you want a new SS that’s not a big deal.Great review 👍🏻😎
Agreed i bought the 18 hot wheels and its a way better looking car IMHO but each their own. Front end and them bug eyed tail lights gotta go then the 19 will be nice.
It would look good in all black. I also had a good laugh when he said the Camaro has better visibility than the challenger 😂. I've owned em both buddy, Camaros are known for having the worst visibility in the segment. Doesn't mean it's not a great car though.
Every 2018 or older Camaro owner is trying to convince themselves that the 2019 is ugly af. Most are triggered because they should have waited. In person the new 2019 Camaro SS looks aggressive and will change most people’s minds in the end.
Just brought this year but with the 1le package to go with the 2ss. Great review, meat and potatoes, no ridiculous background music or flashy visuals. Just a straight up informative review which is what I needed. Thank you much.
Last model killed this one look wise. Unless they can prove 40% plus more air flow the new design sucks. WOOOOO Challenger visibility is way Better than the camaro
Visibility is worse in the Challenger? What were you smoking that day? Ive been in both and the Mustang and the Camaro by far has the worst visibility of the 3 especially in the rear. They might as well not even have a back window and the back side windows are less than useless.
just bought a brand new 2022 2ss (Black Redline Edititon) 10speed fully loaded with dual mode exhaust and mrc will be here in 2 weeks cant freakin wait! the magnaride makes the ride smooth as heck you literally feel nothing on harsh roads
Front end looks mean..the Camaro SS..and the ZL1 LE are awesome muscle cars..along with the mustang gt350..hellcat etc are all great cars that look better than the average looking European cars. The performance though is better..America is in its prime at the moment..along with ford gt and the awesome Corvette ZR1...wow!!!
studio7 While I don't like the look of this new Camaro, I deeply agree with you. And I admite the 0 fanboyism in your comment. You sir are a true car guy.
It looks way better with a dark grey or black color because it blends into the front end instead of being super stand out, also needs black wheels it’ll tie everything up much nicer instead of the chrome
I own a 2002 SS. To me the most beautiful one ever. I'll admit they cheated out on it somewhat, but with a rear end upgrade and better clutch I am pleased. I am the original owner and as far as winter driving, well I do own a Jeep!
My dream car right there even though I'm 14 but I swear down I will get that car when I am aged up more and can afford the car. Chevrolet Camaro you will be mine soon I promise
Kevin 11 how rude you don’t know if he can afford it or not your rude as f I hate people like you you can’t afford this Camaro and your watching this ❤️✌️
@@zachstepp9125 I actually have a Shelby GT350, and I'll be trading it in for the new GT500, so to answer your question yes I can afford this $30,000 car! No payments lol, cash right off the bat.. I have alot of real estate, so trust me I can afford this camaro! And my son wants one, so i might actually check one out soon, though I'm trying to convince him to get a Scat pack, but it's his choice.
Good job. I just bought my SS2 two days ago, and agree with your assessment. I can understand that there are people that don’t like the front end, but in my opinion it depends on the vehicle color. I thought my wife would not like my Riverside Blue SS, but she said it’s “pretty”...and who am I to argue? Hell, I still get to have this hot rod sitting in my garage. Small issue, but eliminating the built in wireless garage door opener for 2019 was a mistake. Now I have my clunky-looking clip-on remote disturbing an otherwise cool interior. The exhaust sound, the acceleration, the handling, and the Bose audio make up for any minor bitches people have. Regarding the audio, I find myself turning down the music so I can hear the pipes howling!
Yes, some stupid cost-cutting measure for something that is standard on a lot of vehicles, but should be included with upgraded packages like the 2SS. The good part was that I had a spec sheet that said wireless charging was included on the SS package. When I got home, and tried to find it, it was missing. Apparently, Chevy eliminated it without updating the spec sheet so I leveraged that to get a ZL1 front splitter installed. That really finished off the look.
Thanks man! I was very impressed with this Camaro-and I agree, black paint and dark wheels with the kalahari (medium brown) interior would be my choice!
I have to agree with Keith, very good review! But unlike Keith I never was into Camaro's -well wait I retract that statement, way back in the late 70's and early 80's when I was in high school, when there was the Pontiac Trans Am and IROC I was a fan of those monster American gems. I have to admit though that the 2019 SS is Smoking Hot and I want one really bad but with a panoramic sun-roof! You're The Main Man Rob when it comes to car reviews...Peace, OUT!!!
Thanks Greg - I really appreciate the support! I was more of a Mustang guy but I have a new appreciation for the Camaro that I didn’t before, and now I REALLY want to drive a ZL1!
Let see, front of car is terrible looking. No where close as aggressive as the 2016 to 18. Performance is degraded along with fuel economy. What's good about this car. GM failed in my eyes. I am clad I got a 2017. Wouldnt even consider the 2019.
Where are you getting your facts from. That 10 speed puts the old 8 speed to shame, and also makes it faster with better fuel economy. And you should really see it in person before judging the looks
@@blaze376192 Acoording to GM own spec, along with other reviews from the initial release, the 2019 camaro fuel economy dropped 1 mile per gallon and 1/4 mile dropped 1 tenth if a second. Has nothing to do with transmission. GM redesign is not are are as the 16 to 18. Until I read or see different, the car is not as good. Also the 10 speed transmission is not the same 10 speed that's in the ZL1. So how good is it really.
@@blaze376192 just for your info: GM specs 2016 to 2018 camaro SS 17/20/28 city/combined/highway. 2019 Camaro SS 16/20/27 city/combined/highway. 0 to 60 4.0 seconds 2016 to 2018. 0 to 60 4.1 seconds 2019. Both are automatics. The manual is slower. 1/4 mile 12.1 seconds 2016 to 2018. 1/4 MILE 12.3 Seconds 2019. Again automatics.
My stock 2019 Mustang GT w/ PP 1 had no problem taking the Camaro SS on the track. Had fun. They share the same transmission, so its close.Mustang is lighter though.
I really dislike the way they made the black bar across the middle of the front grill. It would’ve looked a lot better if it was the same color as the body. I’m planning on buying a camaro in the near future, but I may wait until they refresh the front end.
Rob I am debating whether to buy a 2019 Camaro SS or 2019 Challenger RT I also plan to straight pipe whichever one I get can u help me out which one would you buy and why??
Auto stop start does very slightly improve fuel economy but the increased engine wear isn’t worth it. Nothing is harder on a car’s engine than starting from a dead stop. Imagine having that happen ten times every time you commute somewhere or going through a restaurant drive thru.
This is partially true but only cold starts are really bad for an engine when all the oil has drained from the parts that need to be lubricated. Otherwise start stop is not that bad when the engine is warm and lubricated...idling is a actually worse
kemicala No, what I said is entirely true. Stop start only wears out the engine faster due to constantly shutting off and restarting. Take a look at Consumer Reports review of the Buick LaCrosse. The new model which has stop start that cannot be disabled is rated Poor in reliability. The previous generation which did not have that technology is rated Excellent.
It seems like GM has got their money worth from that same basic body style from the 2008 camaro. Its time to give this car a complete make over. You said something about no one buys a camaro for visibility? What kind of statement is that? You need to have good visibility in a car just for safety reasons that is basic concept. This issue has been a major critcism of camaros since the new ones came out in 08. So obviously its important.
Great video. Camaro is back into super performance even in the everyday cars like the SS. Get better each year. That as tested price is lower than expected
I actually have the 2019 camaro rs and the ride is nice no complaints at all yes I do agree the front could use a little rework but overall I’m in love with the car
Looked at and sat in one in my hometown and it was a beautiful blue. So impressed with the interior - seems like every year I like the dash more and more since the 1st dash of this model of Camaro years ago.
Didn’t like the front at first but in certain colors I like it now. And start stop does help mpg if you do a lot of sitting in traffic or a lot of stop an go
I own a 2016 Camaro SS and a 2017 challenger scat pack and there is no way in hell you're gonna say the Challenger has worse visibility than the Camaro. Just sit in each and it's night and day better in the Challenger.
Nice review dude! It finally grew on me and I love the new look as well as the interior design. I agree that the wheels could look nicer if it was black. I subbed your channel and look forward to see more videos dude!!
Wow, one of the few that doesn't hate the redesign, just gained a subscriber.
VERY happy with my 2017 1SS. $32K which for the performance is a bargain.
It has been comfortable and 100% reliable for two years now.
Slow

Ok
ill take a 18...The new front end is horrendous.
Agreed i bought the 18 hot wheels and its a way better looking car IMHO but each their own. Front end and them bug eyed tail lights gotta go then the 19 will be nice.
@E X this is the 6th gen 🤦♂️so will it be in the next 3 years or more.
Completely agree everybody just hype beast over this 19 camaro and don’t want to admit how ugly the front end is
Your car has the same front end lol
Agree
all you guys are missing it...... red car brown seats wtf
Ok ok I understand its a Ferrari color on Chevy
Yep, not a fan of that Kalahari
It’s just that car. The rx7 red with brown interior is a good example of that color combo working
It looks good just not your taste brotha!
justin bentham how most Ferrari’s are
I agree with you, the interior just does not match the exterior, the seats should have been black with red inserts or all black.
It would look good in all black. I also had a good laugh when he said the Camaro has better visibility than the challenger 😂. I've owned em both buddy, Camaros are known for having the worst visibility in the segment. Doesn't mean it's not a great car though.
o
True I’ve driven both and both are bad tome but challenger is way better in visibility terms than camaros and I prefer Camaros still lol
I have a 2019 2-SS. Beautiful car. Love it.
I bought a 2019 2SS and put Michelin all season 4 tires on it. These tires bite! Wet or Dry! I am so impressed!
Have been waiting to see a '19 2SS test drive. This is the first video I've seen and I'm pleased. Thank you for the nice breakdown.
I think its the best Camaro since 90s... Design.. Power.. Gears.. Dashboard.. Every thing is perfect 💪
Every 2018 or older Camaro owner is trying to convince themselves that the 2019 is ugly af. Most are triggered because they should have waited. In person the new 2019 Camaro SS looks aggressive and will change most people’s minds in the end.
I love the 2019! I can’t wait to buy one (I’m going this weekend)
I love the new front ends
People only dislike the grille because they havent seen it in person. Whole different feel
Beast P... i've seen a video about a week ago (mustang vs camaro) and they were right! the camaro does have a Toyota camry fron end!
I'm testing one out now. It does look a lot better in person but I'm still on the fence about the front end
You’re right! It looks worse
@@daltonelliott5447 Yeah the mirror speaks truth doesn't it.
Kevin 11 uh oh... sounds like someone bought a 19’
LOVE THAT FRONT END! Sweet Car!
No. The front end is hideous
Just brought this year but with the 1le package to go with the 2ss. Great review, meat and potatoes, no ridiculous background music or flashy visuals. Just a straight up informative review which is what I needed. Thank you much.

Just a beautiful vehicle. Great video and thanks for sharing!
I'm used to it already, the front end looks ok & it's growing on me.
I like the new front, I'm buying an SS in about 2 months ...
Looks waaay better in person than on pics
just bought a brand new 2022 2ss (Black Redline Edititon) 10speed fully loaded with dual mode exhaust and mrc will be here in 2 weeks cant freakin wait! the magnaride makes the ride smooth as heck you literally feel nothing on harsh roads
Awesome video dude
test drove this car earlier this year, and was blown away, price/performance. This is coming from a c6 Z06, '15 X5M driver.
Love my 2019 2SS.
I actually like it better than the C6 Corvette that I recently sold.
Probably going for a 2021 Vette next fall.
Brrrrppp

2019 camro i will take it my next car
i feel like this front end is like when the instagram logo changed and eventually we liked it
More visibility than a challenger???
Ray Davey no way lol
Even tho I do like the 2019 Camaro, the 2019 redesign concept much much better.
It looks way better with a dark grey or black color because it blends into the front end instead of being super stand out, also needs black wheels it’ll tie everything up much nicer instead of the chrome
Nothing on Magnetic-ride or the rear view mirror/screen?
This car looks AMAZING in person.
Belal Ayub this car is trash in person and on videos..... 17-18 are beautiful!
The hell? The challenger visibility is better than the camaro.
Way better I've had both. Idk wtf he's talking about.
It has grown on me. Tail lights are da bomb... lightly smoked. Front grill I like now. Not a deal breaker. Great review for a change.

Wow, look Jose! The new Honda which you can't afford either way is looking okay.

Not on my 2019 2SS. They eliminated a couple things that were on the 2018. Garage door opener, and inductive phone charger.
Thats strange

Riverside Blue SS with the black bumper looks sweet as hell to me now.
2017/2018 model are much nicer imo
2016 too
I’m signing the paper work tomorrow for my 2019 2SS!
Great review Rob!! I have always wanted to have a Camaro in my garage. I think this car would look absolutely fantastic in black with darker wheels!!
Thanks man! I was very impressed with this Camaro-and I agree, black paint and dark wheels with the kalahari (medium brown) interior would be my choice!
What is hilarious the prices on the 17's are dropping like stones.
I want this exact interior when i get mine🥶🙏🏽
at 10:24 , it seems you are shifting with the gearshift, but doesn't this model have automatic transmission ?

0-60 in 3.9 with 27 mpg average; buy it in black and forget Mopar and Stang...
I'm extremely happy with my 2017 2.0T 6 gear camaro.

Cant deny that the back lights r killing the 2016-2018 edition

Really I have a challenge and the visibility is on par if not better than the Camaro.

I love the new design. Didn't quite like the 14-18 tail lights
Honda Prelide headlights lol
The only problem is. They depreciate big time!! Quickly. Other than that. Fantastic car.
What do you need leg room for if her legs are going to be hitting the roof
They fixed the bad redesign from 2-3 years ago. Looks way better again
It is not about the looks in my opinion. it is about how good the performance is.
I love it it's different
The only good thing in this video, it’s the music
looking to buy this model and glad you posted a test drive of this so i know how it handles
I actually have the 2019 camaro rs and the ride is nice no complaints at all yes I do agree the front could use a little rework but overall I’m in love with the car
My 2019 doesn't have the digital speedometer on the windshield.
Yours is probably a 1SS
What’s the 0-60 on these 2019 Camaro SS with the new A10?
Challenger visibility is better
This Camaro has already proven to be far superior to the Mustang.
Why take off the Corvette taillights & replace em with bubble lights? I'll never understand.
Can u test drive a 2ss with 285 upfront 305 in the rear with a manual transmission?
That's a very lucky bottle of water.
Is height of driver going to be a issue if you are short
Looked at and sat in one in my hometown and it was a beautiful blue. So impressed with the interior - seems like every year I like the dash more and more since the 1st dash of this model of Camaro years ago.
Good review - good presentation!
Didn’t like the front at first but in certain colors I like it now. And start stop does help mpg if you do a lot of sitting in traffic or a lot of stop an go
The front grows on me. I somehow like it.
Sounds so great but idk the Ls3 sound sounds better for me.
Anyone know if the 18's front will bolt on to the 19 model?
I own a 2016 Camaro SS and a 2017 challenger scat pack and there is no way in hell you're gonna say the Challenger has worse visibility than the Camaro. Just sit in each and it's night and day better in the Challenger.
I'm trading in my 2018 Comaro LT for a 2019 SS.
Nice review dude! It finally grew on me and I love the new look as well as the interior design. I agree that the wheels could look nicer if it was black. I subbed your channel and look forward to see more videos dude!!
Thanks! That means a lot and I really appreciate the support!
Why does the exhuast sound so raspy I dont like it. maybe it's the camera
Did you look at the rear view mirror camera???
Yes
The Camaro SS engine is 24% larger than a Mustang 5.0 but make 5 hp less. GM need to stop being cheap and install a DOHC engine.
Those seats are 🔥
Name one car with worse visibility than this Camaro. There is none.
I'm getting 2018 1SS comaro and it's a 6 speed manual
Something tells me that 2018 Camaro front bumpers will be the highest selling GM part in the US...
