Looks like you have the 16 inch wheels on it. That may help. Probably less noise over bumps, as well. But at this point, I'm not about to drop close to 800 to try it out. Even steel rims aren't cheap anymore.

 

 

Just passed through the 200,000 mile mark this week.

 

314,000 km and my beloved 2007 HHR hit a patch of ice...

 

I can't say I got here as fast as I could but here I am!!

 

Gregg just passed 250K miles, in fact we are close to 252K!!!

 

150,600 miles. No problems, just regular maintenance. The thermostat failed twice and gave problems, and the exhaust flex connector just failed. This car has never failed to get me where I needed to go, otherwise! No leaks, and it used no oil (Mobil1).

 

Purchased mine (2007 2LT) with 103,000 miles on her.
Things I have replaced or fixed.
Struts,shocks,hubs,rotors,pads,lower control arms,tie rods,sway bar end links,sway bar bushings,mirror switch,thermostat,battery vent tube,serpentine belt,steering shaft,variable valve timing solenoid(intake and exhaust),tires,stereo,speakers,cabin air filter,engine air filter, flushed the radiator,changed the oil and filter,adjusted rear brakes,replaced broken fuse box cover,rebuilt a broken key fob,added one can of R-134a.I think that's it.lol
The good news is I got the trucklet dirt cheap and the interior and exterior are in fantastic shape.Hopefully she's good to go for another 100,000. This thing definitely has its quirks but for some reason I just fell in love with it.Thanks to the super people here; and some on youtube, I was able to easily do all the work(except the tires )myself.

 

She’s not as original as when she first rolled off the assembly line back in 2007 but she’s still alive and strong over 300,000 miles later.

 

Nice.......
