Which transmission did / would you go with on the HHR SS?

 

Easy, 5speed. No auto's here. I really can't see paying a higher price for less performance also.

 

With the traffic in Miami, it would have to be an auto.

BTW.......Existing thread on exact same topic........

Said it before and I'll say it again. Mine would be an auto

 

Honestly, I might have gone auto if it were the 6spd Auto with paddleshifters :)
4spd is so 80's
otherwise MANUAL!

 

I got the auto trans on mine I wanted the remote start. I'm sure that they will come out with a stronger auto trans in the next years model. I like the auto trans in mine it has very good performance lots of fun to drive in town.
whichever model you get you can''t go wrong.

 

Yeah! EXACTLY what 08hhrss said about the Automatics. Plus with Connecticut winters and no garage, I gotta have Remote Start!

 

im surprised that manuals are more plentiful, based on the fact that if you wanna buy one in my area off a lot, it would only be an automatic. for miles and miles. Manuals special order only.

 

auto here, wife cant drive stick. ( im not that good either )

 

There was never a choice in my book. I went for the stick: more fun per mile; more power; less costs.

I'd say teach your wife to drive one. It was my requirement, that my daughter's first cars were stick.
