Okay, I’ll be honest. I had never been a big fan of Chevrolet. I don’t really know why. There was never a big reason for it. I just never thought to go over there and test drive one. In my head, I kind of had a thing against American car-makers (please don’t hate me) because I never felt they were doing enough to build a car that was fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. (Is there such a thing?) Now, please understand, I am completely ignorant when it comes to vehicles. I am certainly not up-to-speed on what any car company in the world is doing in the back room. This is completely how I felt before the experience I had with Chevy.
So, my great friend, Kelly Olexa and I, were given a 2010 Chevy Camero to drive and review over the Indy 500 weekend. They also invited us to do some really fun stuff like ride in the pace car, meet Robin Roberts, and took us on a tour of the track. (We also had some pretty sweet passes and seats.) Boy, did we have a blast! So, here’s our low down on this beautiful, fun, and fast car. The good and the bad:
Now, all that said, I loved the car. Aesthetically, it’s a beautiful car. I would definitely consider owning one. I loved driving it and really, I can handle the higher windows. The blind spots were the only thing that we weren’t too excited about. Other than that, it’s fantastic. We literally had people walking up to our windows and making comments about how hot the car was.
But let’s talk Chevrolet for a minute. I was so impressed with their representatives. They went above and beyond for us, and in the conversations we had with them, I truly believe they treat their customers in the exact same way. They have events all the time to give back to the people that have bought cars from them. I had no idea how service-oriented they were and that made me feel really good. It completely changed my perspective on the company.
My suggestion – Go out, hit up a Chevrolet near you, and put your butt in a seat. I’m pretty sure you’ll have a blast. We did! And right now, they’ve got some amazing deals with 0% financing. (Chevy did not ask me to say any of the things in this blog nor promote for them. This is my genuine attitude and experience.)
Happy driving! Let me know what you think!
Good honest review Lindsay. I have heard the same thing about the blind spots but have also heard that is something they are working on. They are taking orders on 2011’s and even have a heads up display option which should be awesome. If you ever want to trade in that Mini Cooper you know who to call (not Ghostbusters)

I can’t wait to see and drive the new one! This one was a blast! And we totally can’t wait to go to the Indy 500 again next year!
