The Chevrolet Camaro is a versatile open-top pony car with numerous iterations to make it attractive to all kinds of people, offering everything from a low-power tourist-friendly four-pot to a track-ready supercharged V8. With excellent handling ability and gorgeous muscular design, the Camaro Convertible is the automatic alternative to the Ford Mustang. While it suffers from poor rearward visibility and a tiny trunk, the retro-modern Camaro is an affordable and fun car. Engine options range from a basic 2.0-liter turbocharged four-pot with 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
The Camaro may be a retro-styled pony car, but it has numerous modern accents, including LED lighting and daytime running lights. The front of the base model houses the headlights in a black grille that causes the front end to resemble a superhero's black eye make-up, while a bulging hood adds aggression and wide hips increase width. The rear features rounded taillights in the traditional quad pattern with a dual-exit exhaust finishing off the look along with a small wing. 18-inch wheels are standard, but various designs of 20s come on higher trims. The LT1 earns a vented hood, tinted taillights and fender badges too, while SS variants get a redesigned front fascia and unique headlights. All models feature a power-folding soft-top roof, giving the Camaro Convertible its airy nature.
Where rivals like the Ford Mustang offer a balance between a refined ride and decent handling ability, no pony car comes close to the Camaro for outright deftness of feel and intuitive steering. Naturally, the coupe would be even better drive, but if you're going to compromise on structural rigidity by having a drop-top, the Camaro is certainly the most fun way to do it. The balance and poise of this car is brilliant, and although the heavier V8s are a little more prone to understeer, their phenomenal throttle response allows you to use the loud pedal to rotate them with ease. In it latest iteration, the Camaro is a joy to drive, and its brakes are great.
