like everything else bein made today, theres good junk and theres bad junk, but its all junk. gone are the days of reliable automatic transmissions and gettin the options you want without havin to take an option group. all i can say positive anymore is GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY on whatever it is you buy. good luck in your search.

Hey, we're both right, you're talking gross weight, I'm talking curb weight, and more often than not, it'll be full of fluids and me, so I'll put it in right around at 3300 lbs.Keeaumoku said:Edmunds.com... Here's a link for 'ya...

Interesting factiod: PT Cruiser voted most popular car among gays. Not making that up.
On another note; although the HHR doesn't kill me, the panel version looks way cool. Just the fact that you can buy a panel wagon is so darn retro, it's kinda cool.

I rented an HHR a couple months ago and put 500+ miles on it in four days.
It wasn't bad, but I really didn't like the reduced field of vision and the weird placement of the power window switches. The gas mileage was surpringly decent.

The only person I know with a PT Cruiser is my guitarist, and it's a POS, he hates it. He wants out of it ASAP; continually having problems with it ranging from small to large.
Small sample size, I know.

I like the looks of the panel version alot more than a full window jobby, but I think Chevy got it all wrong with this one, sorry...it's, dare I say...TOO roundy...especially the window tops and that grille...ugh.
best of luck with your new purchase regardless of my (crappy) opinion. May it give you years of joy.

Well, I'm still holding off on the purchase... however, I'm aiming for the 2008-1/2 model year, when they're predicting a bunch of interior changes and fixes that people have been complaining about.
That and I have to get the Harley mostly paid off before I buy another vehicle.

I've got an '06 2LT HHR that I couldn't be happier with. Both back seats fold flat giving a surprising amout of hauling space. Plenty of room for my Tube Works combo amp, extension cabinet, bass, and other gear. With the front passenger seat folded down I carried an 8ft ladder one time.
Very comfortable and well laid out. The window controls are in an odd place but not hard to get used to. I think I have every option on mine except the sunroof, which I didn't want anyway. The XM radio, OnStar, and 6-speaker (and subwoofer) 260-watt Pioneer cd/radio with input for mp3 player is a nice touch, as is the remote start, leather interior, heaed seats, and side curtain airbags.
I'd definately buy another.

The HHR is probably one of the ugliest cars I've seen produced in awhile.
I know nothing of its performance, reliability, or comfort.
It is seriously ugly.
Have a nice day.
EDIT:
Also, I will suggest you go check out other cars on the market, specifically Nissans. It wont hurt, I promise.

Of course. If the driver even came close to getting his money back (on average), they'd stop selling them. Extended warranties are a marketing success though. Billions of dollars of profit are made every year selling extended warranties.
My 9 year-old calls them "PT Barnums." When asked why, he replies: " 'Cause there's a sucker born every minute, Dad."
I love my son.
You've got a witty son. Wonder where he gets it from.My 9 year-old calls them "PT Barnums." When asked why, he replies: " 'Cause there's a sucker born every minute, Dad."

Do you have a funny mailman?
Have you considered getting a stubby antenna from socallhhr.com?
Different strokes for different folks. I hated it at first, and it grew on me instantly when I saw one in black the first time.
Oh, BTW, I learned to drive in a Nissan Pathfinder. Great car, but it's not a Chevy.
