Yup, 'bout that. Miss the grab bar/handle/SOMETHING for when I toss it in the turns. Probably why I"m usually alone when I'm driving the thing.

Around here they're everywhere, but I mounted my winters on the stock rims, they're exactly what is being sold as a winter rim. Canadian Tire sells them, but I have a supplier thru work that sells them to me for $25 per rim, so when I want more, it won't really make me sweat lol.

I hate the vent switch going back to default after you cut the car off. I thought my car was broke. Took me awhile to figure that one out.
Some of these peeves I never had.
I have leather.
I have running boards. Sure helps when washing and waxing the roof.
I put on a nubby ant. I listen to flash drive most of the time.
I have a 09, so the window control's are on the door.
It could use a better door armrest.

Is this a feature on the newer models? My vents and fan speed stay the way they were when I shut the car off... or maybe i'm misunderstanding this statement..

I love the HHR I do miss my burgandy 2006' with the 2.2 5 speed shift, I just bought a preowned silver 2010' LT 2.4 with auto and all the toys. I don't miss that fabric interior that always got dirty. This car is a fun senior toy without taking all my play money!

I would have voted for the door lock latches hitting me on the arm. It's irritating but an easy fix with a set of aftermarket parts.

My biggest peve is the crappy/cheap suspension in these cars. it's always something. Rattles, Clunks, Squeeks and bumps. It's an never ending search for the source.
