Welcome, if your not sure about the car, test drive them. Or rent one for the weekend. As far as the price, shop different dealers. Good luck.

First - Welcome!

The blind spots do take a bit of getting used to but you can adjust your mirrors to overcome most of this. If you were trained to put your side mirrors in till you see the back of your car then you'll need to retrain your self & learn how to leave your mirrors out farther to see more of your sides.

As far as 'big' goes, I've owned some smaller fun cars; Miata, SLK, Corvette, Mustang, and granted the Camaro is big compared to those, but I'm used to driving SUV's so it's not that difficult to get used to.

IMO you won't regret the purchase. The v6 is a great engine & the 1LS is a great car - you are getting a blank canvas were your imagination is the only limitation. I would recommend getting a CAI, tint, MRT 2.0 Exhaust and wheels as your first mods - but that's just me. Do what you want.

Don't forget to post pics when you get it.

I'm new too but can offer some insight. The blind spots (to me) aren't a huge deal. I didn't have to get use to them as my other means of transportaion is a Hummer. I think you can adjust to what might be annoying VERY quickly in the Camaro.

Definitely go test drive one. My bet is they'll have a hard time pulling it getting it back as you'll probably have a vice grip on the steering wheel as you whisper "My Precious!!"
