My buddy has been looking at convertibles because his wife wants one. We drove this 2011 RS Camaro today

It’s a cool car. By that I mean: it looks cool. But it really doesn’t handle all that great or feel special at all. And the V6 is “fast enough”. But it’s hardly a performance vehicle
What do you guys think?

It makes me think of what a 2nd gen Sky would look like: uglier and bigger.

It really needs a LS I think. I’ve driven a V6 rental and it was meh.

A friend of mine in our company’s IT department came to visit our office this week. Our local server and a couple of switches went off-lease and she came through to swap in the new ones. Somehow she ended up with an RS convertible as her rental and she drove it from New Orleans to Baton Rouge with the top down. She was a total mess by the time she got to our office. I asked her if she was going to drive back with the top down. Her answer? “No thanks.”

At least with the convertible, you can turn your head to see what’s one lane over and behind you without seeing a lot of plastic ( but not the car that you’re about to either cut off or hit.)

I think it's fine if all you want is a car with no roof. It's not a sports car with that engine, but open air driving is nice. It pretty much serves the same purpose as a Sebring. My dad is on his second Sebring convertible, and if that one dies I'd have him test drive a Camaro like this and probably a Mustang convertible too.

It’s not bad convertible but how about NC3 Miata with the retracting hardtop?

Like this car, that needs a V8 too.

I will make that suggestion to him!

Yeah I remember having to park a few of these as a valet and the visibility is just awful in these cars. Dangerously awful
