2016 Camaro Interior vs S550 Interior

[Socalmustang]

I like the HUD in the Camaro, but show a snapshot of the front view of the Camaro and the Mustang premium and IMO the mustang looks way nicer.

Camaro's visibility is still horrible, not a fan of the owl looking vents, the whole gauge cluster and hump over the steering wheel looks horrible and the right side of the interior just looks bland and boring.

Some are so pro Mustang or pro Camaro they feel they must knock the other at all times no matter what. To heat either side call the others interior garbage makes me lose all value in their opinion as both interiors are really nice, especially the top packages.

Well, not everyone has taken their blinders off like you!

Sometimes you misunderstand too though, though I agree with the general point. Yes, the Camaro's new interior is improved. Some people though think certain parts of it are ugly enough to be a deal breaker hence "ugh that's garbage" -- a few have commented on that bizarrely tacked on screen, and the endless dash plastic with no trim, the tiny buttons shoved under the oversized screen when there is TONS of dash left over...the weird vent placement (although that was done to improve visibility).

It's got some pretty quirky weird parts.

2016 Camaro Interior vs S550 Interior

Mustang = Taste Great
Camaro = Less filling



Ok, so I'm bored at work.

oh wow so i just got to sit in the new camaro and holy shit. The sightlines are terrible. No joke, im trying to be impartial but you literally cannot see out the side back and especially the front. That was what I was blown away with, how cramped it was and how the front you could barely see out of as well. Wow. DIdnt see that coming.

The materials seem about the same tbh. I like the gauge cluster and stuff but man

Hyperbole at its finest.

Here let me try.....

If you cant see out the front, then you are a midget with the seats all the way down. I am 6'4 and 220. My head doesn't touch the top, nor is it impossible to see out the front. The gauge cluster doesnt imoeed any more sight than the steering wheel. Over the shoulders is a bit tough, but so is the Mustang. Maybe slightly better, if that.

I didnt make a hyperbole. I am not a midget and while i did adjust my seat that doesnt help that the window is just plain smaller and at more of an angle. You just see less. The gauge cluster comes up very high compared to the mustang.

Its bold faced lie saying you have just as much viewing angles. The space inside is smaller and feels that way cause the fucking belt line is crazy high

The gauge cluster in no way impeeds sight, unless you are sitting at an angle where the steering wheel is under it. In that case your just being a douche trying to make shit up. If your steering wheel isnt directly overlapping it by 99 percent then you have no clue how to set your seats for driving any vehicle.

The belt line is higher, but I have never felt a need, while I was driving, to need to see what was shorter than 3 feet directly beside me as I was driving.

The front vision is just fine. I cant figure out what your complaint is. There is no part of the road I cant see. Unlike the mustang with its giant front end, that makes it slightly difficult to gauge in parking situations.

The over the shoulder is bad, but so is every Mustang or Camaro I have ever owned.

Seems like one of you prefers Camaros and the other prefers Mustangs.

I'm a Ford guy, so I see more "exaggeration" coming from the Camaro fan. But I guess it's to be expected that most of the people on a Ford site will be that way.

cute first few posts you have on this forum btw.

Hardly a midget at 5'9" i have the seat all the way down in the stang and I can see fine. But difficult do it in a camaro because of the gauge pod. So i have to raise the seat to be able to see over it then it feels like im sitting in a high chair and then I only have a couple inches of headroom. Barely enough to wear a helmet. Whereas I I have easily 5" of headroom in the stang. If you think were just imagining things, many magazine reviews have said the same thing.

I've been looking at both and they each have their pros and cons. I think there is a lot of hate for the Camaro because it showed up and out performed the competition, so some fans of other cars got really resentful and make it their mission to discredit it. I'm sure if the Mustang was out performing the Camaro the Camaro forums would be full of whiners. It's a shame because there are a lot of level headed car guys here but enough of the immature ones to over shadow them.

My dude, I'm not saying this to hurt anyones feelings or to try and justify my purchase.

You are straight up lying when you say the gauge doesnt impede the sight line. Here is the camaro dash:

I added the red line to show you where you can see from the passenger to the driver. Do you see how the gauge cluster comes up very high compared to the rest? And yes you could say that the mustang has a steering wheel in the way but steering wheel is a thinner and has a giant hole in it obviously. so it doesnt come up as much. and like someone else said, i can sit all the way down in the mustang and see just fine.

Also i was saying that either the angle of the front glass or the size of it, coming out of the mustang and straight into the camaro, it was way smaller. Big enough for me to say wow out loud. Now if you combine that with the gauge cluster and the glass, it creates a much smaller viewing angle out of the front and feels more claustrophobic.

Im not saying the car is terrible for it, but it does not inspire confidence.

and the belt line being higher has to issues: 1 being that you can rest your arm up on it without being at an awkward angle, which is what some reviewers have noted as well. and 2 being that it makes the sightline on the sides much worse as well. You cant see and it seems more claustrophobic.

Over the shoulder is bad but not terrible. the mustang i felt a little better with the back windows a little lower and longer as well as the back window being longer.


Its not crazy that all of that combined makes you feel much less confident looking and manuvering the car. Even people on the camaro forum has stated that if they didnt have the rear camera they wouldnt be able to back up.

Please pay attention to the time from 7:17 - 7:36 of this review of the 2016 Camaro. This guy has level-headed reviews of all types of vehicles. You should check out his you tube channel...

Now draw a red line from the top of the steering wheel going forward. See how the steering wheel sits higher? So are you saying that steering wheels impeded your sight lines?

Belt line is higher, but I'm sure belt lines on Hyundais are lower than a Mustang. It's a sports car dude. The 1 1/2 to two inches is nominal.

If spacey, sporty cars were your requirement, what not a challenger? Or a Charger, or even a SS?

The rear of the car is an more difficult, but overcome easily by being able to drive. The Mustang has a bad over the shoulder changing lane problem too. Nothing any reasonable adult shouldn't be able to handle. My wife does with no complaints.

It's really cramped. Horrible sight lines. Clutch is too artificial feeling. 6 foot and my head hits the roof unless I slouch.
Although the touch screen is nice and the quality feels better than the mustang. Plus dual mode exhaust is nice and a HUD. Can't forget the power increase.
Some good. Some bad.
