The camaro backseat is the perfect fit - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I think the back seat of the camaro would be the perfect fit for a hunckback person with the low roofline and forward slant of the back window. also itd be awesome for midgets with their short legs. however my friends are neither of those and we are planning a road trip across the country. thered be 3 or 4 of us. they are around 6 feet tall. will this work?

Nope

You already stated the obvious in the beginning of your post. I can fit back there fairly comfortably - given there's a little leg room for my feet. I'm 5'6". I WOULD NOT want to be the 6' person trying to sit back there! Even being short, I keep my driver's seat most of the way back, so I couldn't even sit behind ME!!

3 at most and you would need to stop for people to stretch if they are fairly tall.

I don't think so, I've taken some of my daughters soccer team mates to games and it is tight even for 15-16 year olds.

Guess you won't be taking your car on the trip.

<-----(i wouldn't contemplate that though)

myold88 · 11-12-2009, 11:35 AM

I'm afraid to go back there !. I want to clean my inner rear window but don't know if I could get out. I'm 67, 6', 238 and think I might get stuck. If I try it I'll bring my cell phone-LOL.

Road trip for 2, great. More than 2, find a different vehicle. Especially with a cross country trip, I would have doubts about fitting 4 people's luggage in the trunk.

Yellojacket · 11-12-2009, 11:38 AM

And from back there if you do get stuck you can't even reach the Onstar button for them to help you out!!

You forgot to mention the other things the backseat is good for:tweetz::updown::party0048:

My wife who is 5ft 10 rode back there for an hour. My mom rode up front. My mom had to ride up front as she had both of her hips replaced, and has difficulty getting in and out of the car.

I am 6ft 1 and I can fit in the back seat. I have to really straddle the seat, but it works.

Oh you can definitely fit people back there, but can you imagine having to sit back there on a cross country road trip like the OP is talking about? ugh, i shudder to think of it. I'd want something really roomy for that kind of a trip.

No, your plan will not work. The smartest thing you could do is rent a car, like a Crown Vic or a Grand Marquis so the 3-4 of you could go in comfort and enjoy yourselves. And if 3-4 people go, where are you gonna put your stuff? (luggage, etc?) You have space for a small piece of luggage in the trunk, but not enough space for 3-4 peoples stuff. Although there is a back seat, the Camaro is really a 2 person vehicle. Not even a kid would be happy in the back seat for days of driving. Now if you just got 2 people going, by all means take the Camaro!!!

good for babys and little kids

Yeah no more than an hour or two. When we took the Camaro to Florida, it was mostly me and my dad in the front, and my mom and wife in the camry.
