Great, Retro-style Car — This car is amazing, it gets great gas mileage, very reliable. It has a very smooth ride, and plenty of room for cargo.

Pros

gas mileage is good, the cubic space is surprisingly large to the size of the vehicle.  steering and control of the vehicle is great.

Cons

visibility in the panel trim vehicle and acceleration.

25

A Fun Crossover — great crossover with a lot of room, the panel feature is cool but visibility isn't that great. acceleration leaves much to the imagination.

Economy In A Cool Package. — Came down to the HHR from a Hemi powered Dodge Magnum. I miss the Magnum a lot but not when I get to drive by the fuel pump. The HHR has all the utility, most of the looks and double the gas mileage.

My Car — I needed a car and it was cheap. What more is there to say? And it comes standard with a remote starter which helps when it's 115 in June.

Detailing; roominess is ok?

very low to the ground-not enough weight in snow

????? — Dressed up it is a cute car!! But basically worthless in snowfalls of more than a couple of inches!! Mine has a sunroof; fancier trim package; runningboards; mags; Harley graphics?? I don't know what else to say about it!! I miss my Jeep - Big Time!!!
