camaro good for first car?

hello camaro forums...

i have been in the market for a car/truck any kid of vehicle, and camaro's seem to tickle my fancy. it seems like it is easy to obtain HP from these cars...

for sub 10K which year/model would you guys suggest?

how is this car on insurance?

is it reliable?

thanks

SB

Re: camaro good for first car?

Generally speaking, the newer and lower mileage and better. However the newer you go, the more insurance your going to have to pay for the car. If you go with a later model V8 car they already come with plenty of power. If you get the V6 which would be cheaper to buy, run, and insure, you can save money but wont be able to keep up with the V8 cars.

Re: camaro good for first car?

it depends on what u wanna do with it in the long run. or what kinda style u like.

wow... i love this place... its like instant replies!

i would like to save some gas, as it looks like sooner or later its going to be 2 bucks a gallon ...

are these cars easy to maintain? i dont really want to get an import if i dont have to :P

i would like to go fast when needed, but its not necessary. priorities are set at reliability.

thanks for the replies so far.

Re: camaro good for first car?

oh, Welcome to the forums, if someone hasnt said that already.
but ive been hearing that RS's r best for reliability. i own a 91 RS, and the only things i've had to replace is the tranny mount and the tranny valve cable, the cable breakin is my fault tho.

well then i think a camaro isnt your friend here

if its just a to and from car look at a chevy metro
cobalts are nice to but those are above 10k
cavaliers are good on gas

also your decision can depend on where you live
