  • what dont you like about 4th gens?

    bit of a strange question, i know...but there must be lots of little thing that could have been made better by design......

    i will start....
    what i don’t like is the amount of force needed to close the doors completely! i have lost count of the amount of times i close my door and it don’t close fully.... and i have had 2 4th gens and they both do it.

    but i still love my car! :banana:

    things I DIDN'T like in my 4th gen(s)

    Can't flow air (hot) through the front and floor at the same time.
    Hump on passenger floor.
    Very weak/uncomfortable suspension compare to other cars.
    Cops always like to pull you over
    Crampy back seat for a huge car.
    Not so great turning circle (steering).
    Can't use the turn signal while turning the steering wheel
    Poor wet road traction compare to other cars.

          -Slow windows..even when they're new.
          -interior noises
          -stock headlights (pre 98)
          -turning radius

          You can put heat through the dash and floor, just have to have it set to a/c. :P

            bad wet traction is so true but i guess that’s gonna be the way with most rear wheel drive high power cars.
            My 85 firebird does exactly the same, in fact my 3rd gen firebird is worse than the my 4th gen camaro because its a 5L and my camaro is a 3.8L

            oh, i got another one! rear interior panels (spare tyre cover and opposite panel) take forever to reposition properly :rant:

                  window motors
                  uncomfortable/unsupportive seats
                  rattling interior
                  headlights (I don't hate the flip ups. They just don't light the road well.)
                  huge doors in tight parking spaces
                  scraping on pretty minor bumps

                    no power mirrors on my 96RS and the fact i have to jack my car up to change the oil. Don't mind the crank windows since they will work as long as i'm alive.

                      Maybe the doors not closing is an adjustment thing, cause my doors close very easily. Never had that problem.

                      The only complaint I have about my car is why would Chevy make a car, that light in the rear with crappy traction and good power, not come factory with LSD??? :spank: :rant: Seams like Pontiac figured that one out. Don't all birds have LSD, or am I mistaken?

                        The first one is an option. thing not a 4th gen complaint. Low profile ramps work so you don't have to jack up the car.

                        When I have to jack up the car, I have to crawl pretty far under it. I hate being under a car with just a jack. My other complaint is my pants get caught on the seat back adjustment when climbing in.
