HHR all stock, Sucks

I can't speak to longevity yet, but I've been keeping track of economy. In mixed driving, I've managed to stay pretty close to 30.
I've usually been able to beat the EPA rating on everything I've owned in the past, though.

If the fuse block is good then replace that PS motor and the problem will be fixed. I had that problem pop up on me and one week later it was happening frequently so I bought the new motor and installed it and it has yet to happen again.

I have three of 'em, not disappointed in any of them. The are some HHR "quirks" that will occasionally bite you in the butt, like sticking keys and noisy front ends, but they are minor and easily correctable quibbles.

Now key is stuck"on position"
Must off JINKs myself. yesterday whie drving to a location my power steering goes , So what, I dont worry I get to the parking lot and I was just going to park and go to the clint. When I can't turn the key and shut the car off. WTF luckly I was near the dealear and drove directly there I had to leave the HHR over night for repairs. The service writer said this is common and that the power steering motor and the key cylinder are under warrantie. this is as close as I ever been to an electric car.

I have since replaced Brake pads, 2 front Hubs, 1 power steering motor 1 key cylender or what ever they have to replace. guess Im lucky that it's still under warranty. but what happens when I'm not? will it be a costly car to keep?

Regardless of manufacturer, I've had at least *some* little issue with everything, Ford, Toyota, GMC, etc... with one exception: an '07 Express 3500 cargo van, the one I traded for my HHR. It never gave me the tiniest bit of grief, and though it was just a plain jane (probably why it was so reliable) cargo van, I kinda felt bad about trading it.
I needed the mpg, though, and I'm happy with Herman, even with the few things I've had to do.
