What kind of car did you give up for your HHR?

I bought mine as an impulse buy. It was a welcome back to the states present for myself after two back-to-back year long tours in Iraq. I later sold my '97 S-10 to my friend's kid for his first vehicle.

I'll be tradin in my 99 Durango with the big 5.9 in it. We moved farther out from family with the new house and its killin us in the gas now. So anyone wants a good durango before it gets traded in, let me know, will let it go for trade in offer.
i traded a 2004 toyota rav4 with 22,000 on it ,they gave us what i owed $17,000 , sticker on HHR LT1 was $19,250 , i'm 50 and i love the look of the HHR , wanted a SSR but what a price!!!!!!!i also have a 91 S10 pickup with 120,000 actual miles that i use for truck work , i'll keep that till it won't go any more , i have chevy blood , a good freind of mine can build a smoken small block , he raced dirt modified for 33 years with chevy engine.

I got out of my 1999 Chevy Astro (98,000 miles). It is still running great, but only getting 14 -19mpg. Loaded family vacation vehicle. This was a $26,000 astro, and is great for kids on long trips, and for general use around town. Able to haul lots of things in it. But, the Astro had to go, driving too many miles, not able to pass too many Gas Stations now @$2.50 a gallon..and it has a 25 gallon tank. The wife drives a 2003 Impala LS RED(78,000 miles), and wants my HHR. My Daughter drives a 1996 Monte Carlo LS RED (220,00 miles) Yea really, and also wants the HHR. The HHR doesn't have the room of the Astro, already took a week long trip, not much room for luggage, but it wasn't the Astro, soo...The 2.4 has a little pep, but isn't a 6 cyclinder, definately not a V-8... but the gas mileage is lots better, feast or famine. Soo, have to see how the HHR stacks up against the Astro for hauling cargo, and people. The HHR does have the best attention getting stance of anything around though. The little thing is fun to drive. I have the 2LT, automatic, F3 suspension, Leather interior, sunroof, XM radio, all the nice goodies, but not the roof rack. Oh it's the Dark Silver with sun roof too....thinking about a vanity plate, "MID-LIFE CRISIS", or something simular.
A light green 99 Malibu with the quad4. Nothing special but a good car. Like my HHR much better. Looks much better and not 2 million of them running around. (or something that kinda looks the same) But the boo got good gas mileage, after 120,000 miles it was getting tired.
