Editor's note
The Chevrolet Camaro has no AVOID year on record, but two to treat with caution: 2015 (score 69 on 206 complaints, with Electrical System at 111) and 2017 (62 on 185, with Steering at 57). The years to buy are 2018 (85 on 79 complaints) and 2020 to 2022 (88, 87 and 93 on 31, 16 and 13), with the 2011 and 2012 cars at 79 and 81 behind them. Read the full note on the model page. 2014 specifically: a year the record favours — 188 complaints, score 71/100. The caveats in the note apply to other years of this nameplate more than to this one.
