There wasn't a poll before so I figured what the hell. :)

 

Agreed, having a poll is better. Also a lot of new HHR owners/members joined the site since then.

 

I agree with the poll. You get to see results. I have the auto. I'm in a place in life where things are getting easier.

 

When I looking the nearest dealer with a 5 spd was 40 miles away the next was 90 miles away. So I had to order mine with the options I wanted.

I appreciate the compliments on creating the poll. I figured there would be more with automatic. I've had a manual in all my vehicles except my last car which was a van, but I've always enjoyed driving a manual. The only real thing I regret is having to replace the clutch eventually.

 

Wife wont drive a standard and this is the 2nd family car
i love standards and love the no hassle tranny's

and we do love the remote start, i use it all the time

Lots of bumper to bumper traffic in the DFW area as well.

 

had to get an auto because the fiance refuses to learn how to drive a stick. and with a girl on the way, and this being the family car, i had no choice. Whoever has Oliva, has the HHR.

 

I love the Auto. I love the Intermediate position that shortens the shift points and sets up the downshifts for agressive driving. I do share this car with my wife and I know that the auto is better when you are sharing a vehical. Let's just say that when someone else is driving my standard (whatever it might be) I just cringe, because they can't up shift smoothly or they can't double clutch on the downshift, or heel and toe properly. At work I drive 18 speed Roadrangers, so when I get off of work I like to let my left leg rest up a bit.

 

had to go with the auto, no standard available and they couldn't find one in the color I wanted

 

auto, here in Hawaii going to work and after it's quite hectic. so I can enjoy my morning and afternoon commute with my ipod and coffee.
