1997 Chevrolet Camaro Review

A remarkable performance bargain.
Interior
Obviously, no car built low and sleek is going to offer much extra interior

room, and the Camaro is no exception. And compared to the Mustang, the

Camaro is lower and more difficult to get into and out of.

Another aspect of being in the Camaro is that the seating position,

for those in front, is low and somewhat reclining, with your legs extending

forward. Still, once you're in, the overall driving position, including

control layout and instrumentation, is actually pretty good and lends itself

quite well to the business of enthusiastic motoring. The front seat passenger

has about the same seating position, except the engineers placed the engine's

catalytic converter so that it creates a hump in the passenger's footwell,

which could be an annoyance to some. And when the passenger seat is empty,

the seatback flops forward under hard braking, a perennial annoyance in

these cars.

The tiny rear seats are shaped with deep buckets in the cushions, and

they're suitable only for small packages or really small people who don't

complain. Cargo space is also limited. Open the rear hatch and there's

a modest crosswise bin behind the rear axle, and a higher shelf that's

behind the rear seats. We're talking groceries for two. The rear seats

fold forward to expand luggage space, but if cargo space is a priority

you probably wouldn't be looking at a Camaro to begin with. Next Page
