Although the seats in the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe are wide and comfortable, the cabin itself is quite tight on space and feels very constricted. Anyone above six feet in height will have a hard time staying comfortable in this vehicle. The interior is unique and has a lot of retro touches such as analog gauges for the voltage, as well as the oil and transmission temperature. The instrument cluster also reinstates nostalgia, as it looks like something out of a classic American Muscle car.
The overall interior, however, feels quite cheap and toy-ish. The plastics used are hard, and the ergonomics are quite flawed. Even though it is dimensionally large, the cargo space, at 11.3 cubic feet, is one of the smallest in the segment, and can only take in about two bags due to its narrow opening. The rear seats also don’t fold down to increase to the already small trunk that the Camaro comes with.

On the inside, the 2011 Dodge Challenger is the largest of the lot and is an extremely comfortable place to be in. As expected, at 16.2 cubic feet, it has the largest trunk of all the cars. Although the quality of the interior is nothing to write home about for any of the other vehicles, we will assure you that it is better than what the Chevrolet Camaro offers. The Nissan 370Z is the tightest of the bunch, with no rear seats, as well as a tiny little boot, which opens rather big as a surprise.
Major interior features include:
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Heated Front Seats
- Adjustable steering wheel column
- Optional Heated steering wheel
- Ambient interior lighting
- Steering Wheel Controls
How intuitive is the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe’s infotainment unit?
Although the infotainment system on the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe is far from being the most modern in the industry, it does offer all the standard equipment and more. The audio is piped through a nine-speaker Boston Acoustics stereo system, that can belt out your favorite music whilst maintaining clarity. That, however, is the optional audio upgrade, as the stock system only comes with six speakers. A screen is missed, and so is Bluetooth connectivity, which comes with a USB port and iPod controls only as a part of the Connectivity Package.
Some of the features of the infotainment system are as follows:
- AM/FM Stereo
- Auxiliary Audio Input
- CD Player
- MP3 Player
- Satellite Radio
- Onboard Hands-Free Communications System
- Wireless Cell Phone Hookup (Optional)
