2022 Chevrolet Camaro — should you buy one?

Why people love the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro

The 2022 Camaro's 6.2L V8 (in SS and ZL1 trims) produces 455 hp and pairs with a smooth 10-speed automatic that doesn't hunt for gears on the highway. Owners praise the steering feel through tight corners and the relatively affordable entry point to V8 sports car ownership compared to Dodge or Jeep muscle cars. The interior finally ditched the cheap plastics from earlier generations, and the infotainment screen is responsive.

Common complaints and known issues

The 2022 model year saw persistent infotainment glitches—screen freezing, Bluetooth dropping, and software updates that bricked navigation—reported across forums starting around 15k miles. Transmission shudder in the 10-speed automatic emerged on some examples between 20k and 45k miles, typically during low-speed acceleration. Paint adhesion problems appeared by 40k miles, especially on red and black exteriors, with clear coat peeling from the hood and roof. A few owners reported premature brake pad wear (under 35k miles) on the Brembo setup.

Typical asking price

Under 60k miles: $28,000–$36,000. 60k–100k miles: $24,000–$30,000. Over 100k miles: $20,000–$26,000. Spread driven by V6 versus V8 engine choice, SS/ZL1 trim premium, accident history, and regional demand (higher in the South and Midwest). Clean CarFax examples command top dollar; transmission or infotainment issues knock $2,000–$4,000 off asking price.

Ranges are typical 2026 asking prices, not appraisals. The actual fair offer depends on this specific car's title history, accident record, and open recalls — which is what EstimateProof tells you.
