Trunk space measures 7.6 cubic feet in convertibles, which turns "pack light" from a suggestion to a mandate. Coupes fare a little better than ragtops, with 12.9 cubic feet in a multi-level trunk. However, the Coupe's trunk also holds the optional T-tops when they are not in place, thereby eating up more space, and there's a "watch your back" alert posted for the high lift-over height.
Camaro convertible drivers must contend with large rear blind spots, a problem common to many drop-tops. Fortunately, it's easy enough to fold the top out of the way: Just pop the two release latches and press the button. A hard plastic boot lends a finished look with top down. It is a three-piece unit, which stores in a bag in the trunk when not in use; although we suspect that most of these boots and bags will be given the boot, out of the trunk and into the garage, preserving scarce cargo space.
A brochure included with our Camaro Convertible advised owners to avoid high-pressure "touchless" car washes, as they might induce leakage. They do. A trip through such a wash will lead to water dribbling in along the side window seals. Those Camaro owners who can't resist brushless automated washes will learn to take a towel along. Next Page
