Thank you for all of your input. I wasn't worried about the reliability of the powertrain but more about the brakes since many people have issues with them. I am a little upset that their is no center console but with the armrest in the front and the second glove box I feel that makes it up. Right now I am considering the HHR and the new Malibu. I was looking at the new Malibu and its got great reviews plus it looks great for a sedan. Right now it will come down to my driving experience and what deal the dealer is willing to give to me. I really like that two tone leather in the Malibu and the LTZ V6 is a rocket.

My new HHR SS that I just took delivery of is my third HHR. MY first 2006 had no problems at all, the second 2006 did need the rotors surfaced at about 9000 miles and I had a radio problem. The SS so far is flawless, and I expect it to be a very good car. Since I am a Chevrolet dealer Service Manager I think I've seen it all and the HHR has one of the lowest warranty cost-per-vehicle rates we have. I plan on keeping the SS forever.

1st one was traded in on more favorable color.........
And who wouldn't want to trade up for the SS!!!
I traded my six month old HHR in for another one. I wanted white exterior and leather rather than my grey exterior with cloth. The deal was with zero percent financing on the newest one versus the finance charges of the earlier ride....I got what I wanted, along with a lower payment!

I had one last question to ask about the HHR, how well does it handle in snow and ice? That is my last concern about this vehicle.

) but it is certainly adequate, lots of bad mouthing here about the Firestones but I get around OK. Hopeful that the SS with Michelins will be better.
That is my last concern about this vehicle
