I recently test drove an HHR. Really, really like the exterior styling and the interior functional utility. I drove one with the 2.4 "premium" engine and auto. The driving experience was ... well ... underwhelming to say the least. Note to the General's beancounters, who seem intent on placing crappy Ecotec "world" engines in all their vehicles: I will buy an HHR as soon as you install a proper drivetrain. Put in the 3.5 you put in the Equinox / Torrent ... something ... anything ... but the 2.2 and 2.4 Ecotecs are completely inappropriate for this vehicle. My two cents.... |

Replying to: barnee61 (Oct 08, 2007 9:38 am)  Vehicles like this seem to always be introduced with somewhat tepid engines, because the manufacturers know the initial interest will be driven by the look, not the power. After a couple of years they introduce sportier, hi-po versions to draw in others to the fold...same basic play used with the PT Cruiser. |

I played with the 2.2 5spd and I found it to be quite fun for the money...but not in my top 5. A turbo would definatly move it up several spaces! |

We just bought a new HHR & the salesperson didn't show us how to open the fuel tank door. I know sounds crazy but would appreciate someone telling us where the switch is to open it. The dealership is closed & we have looked everywhere. thanks
