Chevrolet Camaro


The Camaro possesses impressive handling agility and sharp steer-
ing. The optional magnetic ride suspension does an impressive job of
keeping the Camaro composed over some of the roughest surfaces.
The manual shifter has light, precise throws. Base models use a 275-
hp, turbo four-cylinder engine, and the 3.6-liter V6 makes 335 hp.
For the SS, Chevrolet transplanted the ferocious 6.2-liter V8 from
the Corvette. All use a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic
except for the SS, which has a 10-speed automatic. Outward visibility
is downright atrocious, and rear-seat room is extremely tight. Also
available is a performance ZL1 version powered by a 650-hp, 6.2-liter
V8 supercharged engine mated to the six-speed manual or optional
10-speed automatic.

Chevrolet Bolt
The Bolt is the first relatively affordable EV to have a robust
driving range. This small hatchback is built around a large
60-kWh battery pack that sits under the car’s f loor and contributes
to the car’s planted feel despite its tall stance. With 200 electrified
horses on tap, the Bolt accelerates with gusto. A full charge takes 10
hours on a 240-volt connector, but with a 250-mile range according
to our measurement, owners should rarely have to fully charge the
Bolt. The Bolt is very quiet, but the ride can get choppy. Controls take
some getting used to, including the unintuitive gear selector. The
driver’s seat is short on lower back support, and interior quality is on
the cheap side. Typically equipped, the Bolt ranges from $37,000 to
$45,000 before federal tax incentives of $7,500.
