I don't like that the OEM rack doesn't have bicycle or ski attachments. In fact, I can't find a bike rack for this car. The hidden hitch doesn't look like it will work b/c of the ground effects on the SS. If someone knows better, please let me know. It sucks to have to put my bike inside my car b/c then there is no room for my German Shepherd.
<--- other than that, love, love, love this car!!!

Just got off of the Thule site. I had checked that site once before but I had typed in 2008 HHR and nothing showed up. When I saw that you had typed in 2007, everything was available. So now I will be able to get a bike, ski and kayak rack. Thanks so much! You were a huge help to me!

i have over 3000 mi on my ss. from when i got it the hood was not lined up right and there was a dent on the side off the hood to.the 1 rim was not polished right. other than that i dont like there is no arm rest in the front, tach is way to small, no oh **** bar for passenger ohh and the one thing that really sucks is rain glare i cant see anything,and that tapping noise from the engine sucks to..
but i got to say this car is the best very fun to drive and whip around corners. i have a 600 hp mustang and would rather drive this...

Ok....I HAVE A COUPLE (Not really SS specific)
1. I wish the wheel was telescopic
2. I don't like how the gas range goes to low at 35-40 miles.(My GTO went to 0)
3.No armrest kinda sucks (not a huge deal)

1) I hate the brake dust on the front wheels
2) I hate the plastic interior
3) I hate the front cup holder especially when I have to put it into park before I get my morning coffee out of it when exiting the vehicle
4) It is underpowered (only for me since I have a 540 HP Vette/430 HP Vert/395 HP Trailblazer SS)
5) Doesn't handle well (compared to my other vehicles)
But what I do like about the HHR SS is:
1) Cute factor
2) Gas mileage
3) Park it anywhere
4) Daily driver

You dont need to pull up on the slider for 5th gear just for reverse. I have less that 1000 miles and gears feel fine with no resistance. I have noticed that it almost wants to jump to neutral out of 3rd, but has never actually done it. Just seems like it comes out of 3rd easier than any other gear.
