Loving my new HHR!
I first came to this forum when I was thinking about purchasing an HHR. Now, I have purchased one!
Like you, I am quite excited by this fine vehicle. I went all out and purchased a 2LT with leather, XM radio, 6 disc CD changer, sunroof, 17 inch polished forged aluminum wheels, seat warmers, and more! Sticker price: $24, 495.
So far, in the 1,400 miles I have traveled in it my expectations have been exceeded. I consider it to be my Luxury Mini-Suburban. Not only is it comfy but it gets great mileage. One two extended trips this weekend I got 31.9 mpg and 30.9 mpg.
It may surprise people that I was thinking of buying an entry-level BWM or Mercedes but ended up with an HHR. Why the HHR? Well, style, comfort, practicality, and the fact that I have heard some negative comments on BMW and Mercedes reliability lately. The bonus? I saved $15,000 and I have a vehicle that gets nothing but positive comments everywhere I go!
Oh, by the way, my HHR is black with an ebony interior. Very classy!

Welcome to the group! You put a lot of thought into your decision, whereas I kind of jumped in based on "the look" and a quick test drive (and the zero% financing). It makes me feel good to know we ended up with the same choice. I hope after a year with the car, you'll still be as happy as I am.
Yesterday I spent a very enjoyable day with 19 other cars/owners/families from this forum, and I will have to say that the folks here are just another pleasure that I receive daily. I hope you enjoy and forum and make some good friends too. Be sure to post anywhere you like and get to know us, okay?
