I traded in the HHR today on a mint green 2009 Ford Fusion with a Manual Transmission, Sun & Sync and 45 miles on the odometer.

The HHR was a good ride while I had it but I wanted a manual transmission and Sunroof again and the HHR unfortunately was not as reliable as I hoped it would be. I know that unfortunately their are duds from every car maker so I am not going to hold it against GM.

I'll still be around (can't seem to stay away from these boards) You guys have been great. I'll post pics when I get a chance.

 

Good luck with the new ride. I here ya I wish mine was manual too.

 

I drove a stick for 20 years, so I understand the appeal. Best wishes and let us know how the new ride is going!

 

Man I hear ya. Every car I have ever owned has been a stick. Then after 28 years I bought an auto tranny truck. Boy did I miss a stick. When I bought the HHR my Dealer had to look for 2 weeks before he found me a stick. Never again. I'm a manual tranny guy all the way.

Enjoy your new ride.

 

Enjoy!! I'm a die hard GM guy, but Ford is starting to change that. Ford's making decent Reliable Vehicle's again. Well Minus the Focus and the Underpowered Mustang.

 

One of my co-workers has a Milan which is the twin of the Fusion. Nice car


Good Luck! Now is the time to buy if you can do it!

As long as my left leg still works it's gonna be manual transmissions for me from here on out.My '08 2LT had to be ordered because no dealer within 500 miles had a 2.4/5 speed.
