Hey all, looking to get an HHR soon, just need some input on what people have out there, and if you like your choice in trans.
Thanx,
Tom

 

Auto and I'm happy with it so far. The auto shifts are really smooth.

 

Love the Auto. It has an "I" gear (for "intermediate"), which unlike a normal 2nd gear, actually changes the shift points making it more aggro. I like running around town in "I" - it adds to the fun. The auto is really fast - I'd venture to say faster than a stick...unless you're a really, really good driver.

Hope it helps,

 

Thats what I is for? I should have read the manual! I'll have to try it now. Thanks SoCal! Is it safe to drive in I at high speeds?

 

Well, I was on the freeway at 70 today in "I" - I believe it just doesn't go into fourth gear then. But the shift points do raise dramatically! Give it a go!

 

Thanks all, I appreciate it!
Tom

 

I agree with Captain. I did not know that either. I will have to try it out now.

 

I'm Happy with my auto. Living in New York City having auto comes in very handy.

 

Stick is a full four mph quicker in the 1/4 than the auto.

 

Unless you suck at stick!
