I've never had anyone in my car that thought it was much of an issue

 

Same here. I had questions raised about what it was, but everyone whom I had in the car with me did not complain. Instead, they were more impressed with the car to complain about the hump.

I rode a number of times in the passenger seat as well, thought it was kind of neat to have your knees at the same level as your chin. It also had lots of room to stretch the legs forward, and I am no shortie at 5 feet 11.

 

I have a friend who is 6'4", 260lbs. He hates riding shotgun because he doesn't fit. Can't stretch out his legs, has to lean the seat way back so his head doesn't hit. He claims when he looks forward all he sees is the sunvisor and windshield header. He has to crook his neck downward to really see out

I don't like the hump, but the main issue I have with the passenger seat is the lack of height adjustment. I don't like sitting that low on the ground. Also the stock Camaro seats suck *****. I swapped mine out for Firebird seats and they are much better.

 

The hump in the Camaro bothers my wife (and other passengers) less than the Envoy tranny tunnel that takes the space where the passengers left leg is supposed to go.

 

The 4th gen was very anit-passenger. That is one thing that will help me decide between a GTO, 5th gen Camaro, and CTS come 2008. The 4th gen was a huge car on the out side, but smaller than an Aveo on the inside.

 

None of my passengers have ener had an issue with the hump. Only issue may have been that when looking forward, all they could see was the dash and the tops of the buildins and sky because they were sitting so low.

 

You can sit around it.. but its still a little awkward.. Anyone close to 6 foot or over has to sit in a strange position..

and the visibility sitting in that seat sucks!

and the first thing everyone always says is, whats with this hump? Some even go as far as lifting the the floormat to check if anything is stuck under there!

 

I did have a problem w/ the seat not being able to go back as far as the driver's side, though, and the shape of the dash that sucks up leg room.

And, going from a 2nd Gen to a 4th gen, the seating position & headroom issues were glaringly apparent !


I would assume that a 5th Gen, being an all new design, will have those problems addressed.

See I always found that funny. I'm 6'6" and I could fit just fine in the driver seat but had the same problems your friend had when in the passenger seat.

 

I would tell ppl...Do you really think I bought it so YOU could be comfy....NOOOO! IMHO the tight **s engine compartments more of an issue.

 

I've never wanted a car because of passenger room. If they're your passenger they're lucky enough to get a ride in the first place.

 

I hear what you're saying, but some of us have very "influential" spouses that just flat out aint havin it. Know what Im saying? All others can eat my hat. I didnt buy the car for them.

 

my friend had a problem with his hump on the passenger floor. There was a high pitched noise consistantly WHINING from around that area. He pulled over and told her to get out.

 

I got used to the hump rather quickly.
