I bought mine as a work car. I needed a small wagon to haul my copier parts around in, and its the best looking wagon by far thats out there. But on weekends , its still the one that gets driven most. I'm glad the back windows are tinted so you can't tell its a service vehicle.

It's my only car. Bought it to replace a tired '97 S-10. I use it to haul all of my gear to and from work during the week, then my surfboard to the beach on the weekends. I would call it a sweet grocery getter but, at 26 and single I can't admit that I drive a grocery getter.

I've been wondering if I could use the "LATCH" straps from the baby's car seat to strap it to those tie-downs in the cargo area. But how do you keep the Mastiff slobber off the baby blanket? (I know my wife would freak out if the blanket was soaked when i got home.)

I bought mine because I was in the market for a new car. Have wanted a cruiser for years...until the day I saw my first HHR and that thought went right out of my head. Before my mother passed away last November, she asked me why I didn't just buy a new car and I told her I couldn't afford it. She said that when she was gone she would leave me enough money to buy something new, as long as I promised I would do that. Well...she passed on November 18, 2005 and I bought my HHR on 1/2/06. I'm sure she's beaming down from above and loving it...especially since it's orange. (She loved Tony Stewart, the Home Depot NASCAR driver and also the Denver Broncos)

This is my daily driver, but I still have my other car which is an 84 Honda Prelude. With the price of gas these days, I have lent that one to my boyfriend whose primary driver is a 74 Olds Cutlass and pulls in at every gas station. Plus...since I'm letting him use it...he's paying for any maintenance or repairs it needs. Plus...he's enjoying helping me do all the mods on the HHR as well. Got the best of both worlds.

We have a 19-month old and the mustang just cant cut it anymore. Needed more space and better gas mileage. I actually looked at a 2004 cruiser turbo but didnt want to pay what they were charging for it. I went back home looking through a car mag when an HHR commercial came on. Called a dealer, worked out a price and purchased the car that same day.

The Toy's A Daily Driver

I bought her to replace my 94 Black formula due to the price of gas. Although if I had the room I would've kept the bird for weekend cruising..I miss her..but the Toy makes up for it!!

Daily driver . Had a 99 Astro, 13-19 mpg, HHR 23-30 mpg, I bought mine in Feb and have over 8,300 miles on her now. Needed the room to haul most things for honey do stuff amung others. Miss my van, but love the gas mileage and attention . Thinking about using as vacation vehicle.. Have to see, is sort a small for large folks to go very far in.
