Looking for cargo

new here,. Looking for a cargo HHR.....I would like running boards, full cargo, not the windows in the rear door and cargo panel in rear. Certainly don't need seats in the back. Was there an SS HHR cargo(i have not seen one, but don't know)? If not, anyone put a turbo on there HHR? Would a sts turbo type system be the way to go. Have to be easier than swapping in a SS engine right? Questions:
1. What year cargo are best (or does it matter)?
2. Manual transmision reliable?
3. Rust issues, doors rubbing, weatherstripping, wind noise issues,
paint issues, seats comfortable?
4. Front end issues, can it handle less than perfect roads with
a load of 500lbs plus driver.
5. Is any version of HHR rated to tow? Not looking to tow a huge
trailer, just something loaded that would weigh 2200-2500lbs.
6. Cargo capacity (lbs).
7. Which engine best for reliabilty?
8. What size wheels on SS?
9. Squeaks or rattles you cannot put up with?
10. Would you recommend one? Or should I just keep looking for a
Ford Falcon sedan delivery, really want something I can just
get in and drive.
11. Your likes and dislikes about HHR.
12. THANK-YOU!

aboard

what you need is a SS Panel
they are around for sale. not as much and usually will cost you a lil more
mileage is the tell tell of what price will be for sure
Standards are pretty reliable unless you decide to tow and if you did i would put in a clutchmaster stage 3 clutch and you will make it as reliable as can be
18s come standard on the SS and are a great size

once again aboard
