Of course your suggestion led me to this place: http://www.asseenontv.com/
I wonder if they have one of these for wives.

seating position/rake is not comfortable because the steering column is not telescopic. I have to sit up too close to reach the steering wheel, thus my legs are too bent to be comfortable.
I have gotten used to it over the last 12 months, but it is a pet peeve.

Or your legs are too long.Actually, I am 5 foot 9 inches tall, and I keep the seat back as far as it will go. I cant see how taller drivers fit without their knees being bent like they are driving a go kart.

I am OK with the headroom and windsheild hieght
I am OK with the head room and windsheild height. Sometimes it is difficult to see the lights at red lights but with the low windshield we do not have the sun in our eyes nearly as much. I think it is just about right. I was at a red light the other day and I could see in my rear veiw mirror everyone was holding their hand up trying to block the sun in their wyes and I was not having a problem with it. I was just tall enough and the windsheild was low enough that it was quite comfortable for me. I notice it sometimes while driving others are having trouble with the sun in their eyes and it is not bothering me with the HHR.

The only one that bothers me are the cloth seats. I have the grey cloth and they are impossible to keep clean, or to get clean. For the first time in my life, I wish I had leather seats. Most everything else is fixable with aftermarket parts, such as the stubby antenna and smoothie door locks. I don't drink in my HHR so the cup holders are not a concern, though I do see why they would bother those who drink (soda of course)

Better yet, where do you get one? I'm still new to having an HHR, so this is all new to me! I do know that the actual antenna that came with our HHR, is in what I would call, an awkward location at best....lol! Also, what's smoothie door locks? I just recently joined the forum so I'm not up on this Thanks so much for any help!!
