I drive a chevy Cruze and the thing I hate the most about it is that it's not a Ferrari 458
Carlos Santibanez did that car come with tampons ?
Carlos Santibanez lol
LowCammed2V 😂
LowCammed2V nah that's only with the ltz model . I could only afford the base model .
lol true
As long a car is fast, loud, and reliable, the little things don't bother me at all
Whiney little boy.
G shit
Same it's all about the looks and speed
Danny Keller how was he whiney dumbass
Goes for women too
I drive a mustang and I hate it when it hits crowds
By 'hit crowds' do you mean when its stuck in a traffic jam?
LMFAO! Comment of the day!
David Torosian It was impossible for me not to laugh at your comment!!
Can you take your boat to the ocean or just lakes?
_kashvondeee xo nice!
I drive a Honda Civic and I hate my car overall
adrik Abramian hahahah
To adrik - you say you hate your Civic, I am uncertain if you're merely having a laugh or if you mean this and so can you give reasons why as I am genuinely interested to read them. I drive a Seat Leon and it's due for replacement in 18 months time and so in a year I will be looking at test driving a few cars and the Civic is due to be one of them. Thank you in anticipation of your reply.
Every poor person drives that.
MerksVIII I'm driving an lt1 camaro
Audry Mendoza from looking at your profile you look like your a 14yr old keyboard warrior
I'd love to have these problems
carlozmrc man bruh this nigga talkn bout things he hate😂
I drive a 2003 honda crv and the one thing that I hate about my crv is that its not a 2017 camaro 1le
Ginga Ninja K
Lol
The E-brake and the 1st to 4th gear thing would drive me nuts. Everything else I could overlook.
real talk or get a stick shift
The skip-shift is annoying, which is why I got the eliminator the video references. Personally, that was a "must-have" for me. The ebrake takes a little getting use to, but I think I understand why Chevy went that route.
My 2016 SS2 has both of them.
Bringing your leg up like that to get out is a real issue...Paparazzi is just sitting there waiting to get a crotch shot you know?
Why buy it if I can't stick my head out the window. I'll stick to my 0-60 in 4.5 days Civic.
dennyserrato lmao I'm dead
dennyserrato we won't miss you
Too much horse power on a civic will mess up ya tires for sure
are you a giraffe? you dont need to stick ur freaking head in the window mate ..
Long, heavy doors are just apart of having a 2 door car it sucks when people park close to you I try to park away all the time
3:00 i would never use quiet mode, screw the neighbors VROOMMM!
Tampatec yeah
The long door issue is because it's a coupe. Being that you came from a 4 door sedan, I think you're just not used to it. The fist thing I noticed when switching from my 14 charger to my 16 challenger scat was the longer doors. You'll get used to it over time. Love the vids man, keep up the good work!
Exactly, it actually helps you become a better parking, and focus on parking further away from people; Which in turn saves your car from also being dinged by people not paying attention.
9. It's not a plum crazy purple Dodge Charger scat pack
you mean challenger... right?
MMB Gaming and Stuffs no he had a charger before
Pingu 1 Dodge Sucks Big time !! My boss HAD a 2015 Charger nothing but problems not to mention a rattle box
Dodge scat pack, lol, cause Dodge is crap
Dodge doesn't have the best reliability....Complaints, ratings, consumer reports, Dodge is lower than most Asian manufactures. Of course it all went down hill when Fiat/Chrysler bought them out.
I was about to buy the Camaro SS LE until the 2018 ZL1 was announced.
Angel P. You should see the new ZL1 1LE. That thing is badass
Raúl yea it looks good but it's a track focused car and only comes in manual. I mean I like manual but automatics are just faster now
Angel P. It's gonna be a monster
can't wait! It's gonna be such a beast!
You can shift in 2nd without a mod. It just tries to make you go to 4th.
Also you can just adjust the exhaust to be in track mode or quiet in the settings and it won't change.
I really like how honest you are about the car that YOU own. Most people wouldn't be this honest. 👍
1st world problems: "The doors are too long....I don't like this parking break button." **Wah wah** All I hear is, 'The sun's in my eye, there's a rock in my shoe. I. just. can't!' Oh wait, the sun was in your eye. Lol. (Love the car, btw!)
You could have just programmed the car to always start in track mode for the exhaust. I have done this in my car. There is zero need to pull the fuse. Read the manual...
Even in track mode the exhaust valves will close at cruising speeds. Pulling the fuse will make the sound much more responsive when you step on it.
RP Productions yeah if you go to the settings then drive mode it allows you to choose which mode you wanna keep permanently. My exhaust is now always in track mode no matter what mode I'm in.
Andrew Charles flaps still close as part of the OS ... this is apparent if you try to rev it at idle you will hear the difference
What is this wackness about programming? Any proper muscle car doesn't have computer systems, it should sound good enough without unplugging fuses.
commando8088 Yea you right!! It used to be straight pipe exhaust systems and now they have resonators and a catalytic converter the size of a trash can. Got to come out the Dark Ages though.
In regards to brake duct, you should look into Ceramic Pro. You can have your wheels coated to reduce/eliminate brake dust on your wheels. I had it done to my S3 and it made a huge difference!
AudiS327 never heard about definitely worth a look. s3 is so great gf has one in purplish black looks amazing I drive it more than her haha haha and I have an amg!
Brake dust and a pain getting in and out are race car issues, because pretty much that's what the 1LE is, a race car for the streets. I had similar issues with the C7 Z51 that made it a pain to daily. The shiny trim, ebrake, lack of storage and other minor things are what makes me look the way of the Mustang PP1. Now if only the Mustang handled as well and had a good 6MT.
Woe is me! Let me list all of the first world problems I have with my brand new, $45,000 car. The struggle is real. 😭
Crazy how you went from driving RC's to a 1LE. Your stepping it up Riley👏
Love the video man. I have a 2015 1LE and couldn’t agree more about the doors, 1st to 4th gear shifting, and the brake dust. Keep up the work!
Hey let me Riley let me ask you something I have the ZL1 and I was wondering is there a way to make the seat recline more? Doesn't recline far back enough for me. Any advice?
Does the 1LE (1SS) have the programmable seat modes? On my 2SS there's position 1 and 2 and a 3rd which puts the seat all the way back for getting in and out of the car when you can't open the door all the way.
Great honest video, my first impression of the car was I hated only the visibility and everything related to it but because I wasn't driving it daily didn't pick up on these other annoying things.
What about the size of the interior, is it small? I noticed I cannot even lean the seat back because it hits the back seats.
I have a 17 1le as well. Did the fuse pull cause and dash lights to come on?
now that the 1LE package is available for the 2SS, would you get that instead?
Where did you get the 1LE emblems for the back and side of the car? I'm looking to replace the factory emblems on my 1LE and those really look good.
Challenger has very long doors as well
I think 4th gen 98-02 Camaro are just as bad. Wingspan like a 747 and been doing the sideways shuffle in and out since I got my 98 back in 2003
hows the stereo? is it the Bose system? I know on my 15 1le the system is pretty quiet
Does the transmission actually prevent you from shifting into second gear?
They should definitely have you in the design room for the 2019 build 😂
Side window is so small so can you get food and a drink in a tray through when you pickup food at a drive through window?
Are those 6 piston brakes optional on the 1LE? I notice they require a selection when building the car on their site.
How are those tires in the rain? Will you be changing them out or are they all season?
Really appreciate your honest opinions on these issues.
Thanks a lot~
Ok wait, I own a manual transmission 2018 Camaro, but unless I put the transmission in 4th gear my self, it won't change by its self, how does your camaro go from first gear to fourth gear? Is it automatic or something?
I have a 5th gen camaro ss. Same problems except the E brake. Mines mechanical 👍🏼
So do you have to shift from 1st to 4th? It wont let you go to 2nd???
this car looks like one of the best options for what im looking for that fits my budget. only problem is that I'm 6'4 and I'm concerned I won't fit in the car. any tall drivers hav this car? will I fit? please lmk
I have 2016 camaro ss and I absolutely love everything about it. Even the little annoying things can't diminish just how fun and awesome this car is to drive
How do you drift with an electronic parking brake?
Hello, super video. I will definitively buy a Camaro and it s not so easy from France. However, I would like to know how tall you are because I m 6.10 and would like to know if I can drive this car? Thanks again.
hey Riley if you don't mind me asking what is your monthly payment
I drive my 1LE into the sunrise every morning and into the sunset every afternoon after work. The strip on the dash has never blinded me. Also, mine doesn't look like satin chrome, it's more of a light colored gunmetal. Maybe they changed it to address this?
Hey Riley, when I removed my fuse for the dual on my 2017 SS 1le it gave me a check engine light... had to put it back on and a few days later it went away. Did your car do the same?
Really? Nope no CEL for me! Perhaps it was the wrong fuse or you did it while the car was turned on?
So nice to see you out of the Scat. I have a 1LE and agree with your list but the positives far outweigh these piddly things. Great vid as usual
I agree on some of the stuff that you hate on your Camaro. I own a 2017 2SS Camaro and I hate side warning/blind zone comes on or flashes on the side mirrors when it is raining and basically nothing or no vehicle on my side.
I got a cramp when he got out the car
Is the mpp exhaust the same as electronic cut offs?
People seem to think it’s funny you mentioned the windows are so small, but what if something happens and that’s the only way out of the car? What about rear window visibility? Is that difficult at all?
#1 - you can move the shifter from 1st all the way to the right and back into second to trip the system thinking you are shifting into 4th gear and actually let you shift into 2nd and save you $25 plus labor
#4 - you can install a cat-back exhaust to eliminate the resonators in the mpp exhaust is your bumper to bumper runs out and would actually give it a little more horse power to the car
Hope this helps someone out there!
Great video, still loving my Charger Scat Pack 392.
What is the $25 transmission part? And part number?
What did you use to tint your tail lights?
Is it easy to take off quiet mode?
Is the lambo doors a solution for the doors size?
Having owned a 1LE I have to agree with every point you made! Well done.
#6, I never park my toys next to anyone in any parking lot.
I've been wondering about the front splitter. seems to stick out very far. how often does it drag?. say... pulling in or out of driveways or down an incline to a flat road. my driveway is steep.
Actually it's not bad! The Scat Pack I had before would scrape more than this.
RP Productions I've seen some complaints that they were damaged just unloading them. so that got me worried.
2017 ss 1le here and I agree about all those points and mostly:
- 1-4 shift is awful, every time!!!
- at stoplights I litterally have to pull myself forward to see the light turn or go by cars around me!
Besides those I haven't gotten that rattling noise you mention (npp exhaust) perhaps because I have mine in track at all times!
I had the 2016 ss before trading it in for this 1le and it had the chrome wheels and then, the break dust was extremely noticeable, with those blacked out wheels though it sort of "blends in" until you have to wash it!
I have a 2016 camaro ss and i agree with all of your complaints. Especially the parking brake, which I did find out if you forget to disengage it and start going in 1st or reverse by using gas it will automatically disengage. Brake dust is stupid bad I will be getting CC pads at the very least. I got real close to getting a 1LE, but I wanted the vented seats and the blind spot sensors. btw : Love the Hyper Blue, but one last thing I would like to add is the paint is very VERY easy to chip. I've owned a ton of cars and I have never seen a paint show so many rock chips like this before... it's so bad I might change my mind on getting a ZL1 in a couple of years.
You think it can keep up with a 380 HP VW?
How did you get your seat to recline back further? That is the only thing I hate about my Camaro, that you cannot recline it back so you can take a nap when waiting on someone to do their shopping.
Does it still tell you to shift to 4th, but just doesn't force you after the skip shit mod?
Correct!
I love this car !!! I bought the 2002 35th anniversary ss back when they were released. I've always loved the camaro and that was supposed to have been the last ones made...glad that didn't hold. So now I'm torn between getting the SS 1LE or trying for the ZL1 mod of same. Looking forward to some reviews on it.
I love the small windows makes it feel like a supercar/tank
I believe i have those NPP rattle issue as well. It is obvious on local drive 40mph limit or less .When giving throttle a little deep, I can hear something like whistling noise from behind me, on both sides. On highway it is not noticeable, I guess road noise covers it. Well since everyone else have it, I can live with it then.
I like going on road trips and will pull over at night and try and get a few hours of sleep as I go. That said, when I took my 2017 2ss on a round trip between Colorado and Oregon it was brutal. Your basically in a cockpit similar to a fighter jet it it does not lend itself to sleeping in. Lol. For all my future trips I will have to look for motels.
i don't ever notice the glare from the dash.. but the doors are annoying being so damn big but i had a 5th gen and it sucked too.. the brake dust is horrible that's probably my biggest complaint.. carbon ceramic im gonna try
I have one too. The way I drive, the skip shift rarely comes on. I got rid of it with a hand held tuner. I'm with you on the interior plastic chrome. I had the dealer fix my muffler. The console is a joke. I have a '05 GTO, so I'm used to the trunk and the long doors. Still, won't own a 2 dr. Change those brake pads. You can actually shorten brake distance a bit and keep your wheels cleaner.
do you have a link for the trans bypass that shits annoying as hell
how do you get to the back seat there's no door
Where did you buy the tail lights?
ZL1 coming soon! Should be interesting with the GT500 & Demon ready to hit the roads. What an awesome time to be driving cars!
#3 sounds likes u have a "How to vinyl wrap your interior trim pieces" video coming up.
I used to hate the new ebrake, but it has an auto-release which is nice when you forget to turn it off : ) TBH I only use the ebrake when I park on an incline.
Recently test drove the new Camaro for the firstTime and is definitely a lot fun.but what bothered me right off the bat was how small the windshield was compared to my challenger 15 r/t.they should have also kept the classic gauges,same thing with the mustang.overall awesome fun car but something I probably wouldn't daily drive.
Riley could you please do a closeup of the badges I saw some on emblem pros just not sure what direction I wanna go and don't want to copycat may do same but blue or the z28 style
Yeah they will be in my next video going up Wednesday!
Hey i loved what you did to the 2012 grand sport, i got a 2007 same color just base. Definitely taking your modifications and applying to mine, at least what i can anyway.
I took a long test drive in this car. By the far the thing I hated about it was its practicality. I realize its lighter than the previous version but running errands in this car creates another chore. Ground clearance is almost nil so you always have to keep it away from curbs. Doors are long and visibility sucks. Just not a fun car for zipping around town to take care of stuff. I wouldn't want one has as my only car. On the open road it's great though.
If I can help it I usually back into my parking spots. I've already messed up the front fender on mine. 😠
RP Productions what the hell is wrong with that front passenger tire it looks like it wants to come off the rim?
I got the exact same car and only thing I hate is it’s missing the garage opener button
I believe you can set your seat back like as an option in the car settings
Are you going to make a video on your thoughts of the 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE?
How does it force you to fourth gear I am confused 😂
gotta agree with what you said. same struggles I go through with mine. I do got a question where did you get those 1LE emblems I like those?
also where did you order the skip shift delete ?
Makes me really appreciate a lot of things my CTS-V has to offer.
One other thing is that the sun guards are fixed in place and can't be moved to the sides. Also there are no locking mechanism for the gas tank. Also no gas cap.
Just an FYI... You don't need that $25 part. You can shift from 1st to 2nd or even 3rd. Just on takeoff get RPM's up a little higher. Or just give a split second delay. Also feather the throttle just a bit and you are good also. The Camaro 1SS and 2SS also use the same LT1 engine as my Corvette Stingray. I have not had any issues with it not letting me shift to the gear I want. Since doing what I said.
That blue paint, & The detailing of the black trim pieces look good af
Great video. Don't agree with the parking brake though, I love me my electronic parking brake.
Wouldn't leaving the engine sound management in 'Track' also keep the valves full open?
I thought so at first but it turns out they still close at times. For example while at cruising speeds they will close and if you step on the gas there is a slight delay-not anymore!
Hey Riley , do you think getting the camaro over the sp was a mistake ? i mean aren't the dodge more daily drivable
Not at all. Buying a daily driver is easy. Camaro is more fun to drive and will respond to mods better. More than likely I will buy a cheap daily once the Camaro has some mods thrown on!
1. gotta grab the 1-4 bypass ... nice
2. haha I've never tried to stick my head out he window .. it's annoying at starbucks though
3. I haven't noticed this
4. I only use stealth mode when i'll be leaving at like 4-5am ... I wish I could switch it to Stealth when the car is off .. I just have to remember to do that before I turn the car off the night before
5a. I had to take my driver out in my M3s, too. glad to know it fits at least!
5b. yep, totally hate the storage options ... total crap.
6. Coupes in general have long doors, but yeah, I have the same issue here! i'll definitey be destroying the upholstery on my bolsters.. oh well.
7. I've always hated the electronic parking brakes .. I like the mechanical feel as well but I've gotten used to this in my Audi S3 and 718S... you'll get used to it but still probably won't like it haha.
8. Brake dust hasn't ever bothered me because it's a known tradeoff for sweet brakes .. unless you go to carbon ceramics.
things to add:
- Hard to see a traffic light when you're first in line and fairly close (i.e. small intersection)
- No nav ... should be included on everything by now
- frameless rearview mirror ... looks odd
- with a helmet I need to recline my seat more than i'd like to fit
- didn't come with black bowties
- wire harness is annoyingly close to my clutch foot when i'm on it
these are things I've become accustomed to for the most part ... haven't taken it to the track yet, so can't wait to do that! took my 1SS last year which was a lot of fun, this will just be amazing!
I've heard there's a spray in auto parts stores that help "repel" brake dust spray.
Nice car man. Happy Birthday BTW
The car is looking good!
You didn't mention no light in the trunk...I agree with your assessment, other than im ok with the window height.
