HHR SS in San Diego area?

HELP, I wanted to test drive a HHR SS, but I just found out today that there are NONE in the San Diego area! Anyone local willing to meet up with me and let me check out/ drive their SS? Also, I can't drive a stick, so if it is a MT I guess a ride would be sufficient! I just don't want to drive all the way to Riverside or further just to find out if I like it or not!

I can't help you with that request, But I am sure that you will love it, when you get a chance to drive it, try a 2.4 just to get an idea. Todd (Uma)

Yeah, but it is a totally different car. The interior is different, it is a turbo, etc... I want to drive the real thing to make sure!

Wait--you're in SoCal and concerned that it is an hour away?!

I've driven that long for a burger!

If you want it that bad, make the effort to go see it! You wont be disappointed!
I can guarantee, after you get it, you'll look for ANY excuse to go driving an hour out of the way!

The Idea was to see if you like the car in general?! If you do, then go forward with the SS, as long as don't think that you are buying a race car, cause it ain't! It is sporty, looks awesome, but it is not going to blow the doors off a corvette. Lots of people buy the SS thinking that is it some kind of race car or something. It is fast, and sweet looking, Todd (Uma)

no idea what you're talking about, Todd, this thing is a racecar! nah, they really aren't, but they definitely are no slouches. take it from me, with 6 months, over 6600 miles, and part of that being a 1400 mile trip to Tucson and back, as long as you like the HHR in general as far as looks and overall feature offerings, you will LOVE the SS. IMO the seats are more comfortable, much more power, surprisingly fast for your money, handle incredibly well, and so long as you aren't racing around everywhere you go, you'll get pretty darn good gas mileage too.
