I thought you wanted to do a poll? This is a SURVEY.
I think this should maybe be in the lounge.
I could be wrong...

i just took care of the locks this weekend, so .....


cup holder location FTMFL!
(for the record, the actual location might not be bad, its just the combo of armrests, cup holder, gear select, and ebrake)

It`s 2:30p in Chicago.
Wide awake.
Arm rests. The doors are too hard and the center ones are too short.

Whats wrong with the fuel door latch?

3 of the options on the list apply to me, but I have (or will be) addressed 2 of them.
  • Cup holder location - too shallow, ended up with coffee on the side of my seat.
  • Should have gotten running boards - bought them afterwards, just need to install them.
  • Windshield height - bought one of those Light In Sight devices.

I think it would have been nice to have the fuel door on the driver's side. Much easier when filling up. Many other cars are placed there.

But hey, I love my HHR even if some of the things about do annoy me from time to time.

The fuel door location is in the agreed upon industry standard.
On the opposite side of the exhaust, dual not included.

1. cupholder placement

2. window buttons not on the doors

3. I would have loved to see a nicer dashbaord.

4. Wish the big black bumper thing wasn't there right in the middle of my white front bumper.

Everything else is awesome.............

The dreaded power window buttons#1..........then the door knobs....then the small windshield, but these make it unique. Still fun, great vehicle to drive.
