I have had my HHR 1LT for 3 months today, and my findings to date are....

--------------------------------------------------------

7000+ miles

Fuel Pump replacement in week 1.... Hard starting when warmed up.

Outside temp sensor in week 9 .....It was always 71 degrees (I wish)

Average hwy mpg.....33

Average overall mpg.....26 to 28

Average city mpg....don't check it.

I really enjoy driving this vehicle. A 2 hour trip in my Honda Element would
leave me a bit stiff, but I didn't realize this until I upgraded to the HHR.

I don't like the location of the window switches or the cup holders, but this
issue has been beat to death. I enjoy the low cost mods that can be done, and the huge amount of add-ons and extras available.

I have been a traveling consultant for 17 years, and the HHR fills all of my needs, better than any previous vehicle.

It has also made it possible to hookup with the SoCal HHR folks, and the forum members. A great bunch.

Most important of all, however, is that my wife loves this car.

Sorry for the rant,

Cajun

P.S. I want an SS.....Maybe next time.

 

Dang Al!
Blackie will be year old with me on 8.31 and I barely hit 9K last week!

We're glad you are part of the SoCal crew too!
See you and your nephew at Meguier's tomorrow!
(we'll get that rear wiper off yet!)
