Replying to: djm2 (Oct 07, 2006 5:36 am) I was considering an HHR and recently had a rental for two weeks. Now I'm not interested. Besides my concern about the mysterious water leak, here's my other disappointments.   1-No power; you need to anticipate every hill and accelerate before it's too late. 2-Turning radius too large. 3-Huge blind spots. 4-Plastic cargo floor; everything slides around. 5-At highway speed, I smelled exhaust inside (I believe the rear hatch was not sealed properly). 6-Cup holders too hard to use without looking down away from the road. 7-No decent storage compartment. 8-Window controls are behind shifter and hard to use. 9-Can't open doors without pushing power unlock first. 10-With rear seats up, the headrests are in your rear view. 11-Poor quality radio/sound system.   It did ride nice, seats were comfortable, climate control more than adequate and mileage was good. Still.... NO Sale. Replies to this message: pao (Oct 09, 2006 10:51 am) djm2 (Oct 09, 2006 5:18 pm) pao (Oct 10, 2006 8:33 am)

Replying to: dancerman (Oct 08, 2006 3:27 am) you should have driven the 2.4 LT engine, with the upgraded MP3 headunit and Pioneer sound system...the rest are personal ergonomics.....I remove the headrests in the rear...no one sits there, cup holders....well if you buy a car based on those.....blind spots..mirrors can be adjusted to cover the entire field of vision...you have to learn to trust your side view mirrors, plastic cargo floor...rubber mat fixes...and most others have the same issue....decent storage.....for what?...again all personal perferences....but you do say its a nice comfortable ride, good gas mileage etc....and thats what most look for today.....good luck with your search Replies to this message: djm2 (Oct 09, 2006 5:18 pm) pao (Oct 10, 2006 8:33 am)

Replying to: djm2 (Oct 09, 2006 5:18 pm) most issues are worked by the dealerships...not GMs.....I have some issues with my Pontiac Solstice.....I work with the dealership under warranty to correct the problems.....I see many of the issues being the dealership service departments..untrained, unwilling or simply incompetent when dealing with the problems of the HHR and solstice...some are as easy as the radio reprogram..slip in a CD..run it and its fixed, bad fornt rotors...have an 04 maxx LT with the same issue...determined it was improper torque of the wheel lugs that was casusig it....I could go on and on here........others.....are TSBs published by GM....and yet others are model year enhancments....no car is perfect...and no Im not giving GM a pass either...but work with the dealership service department..if you find them unwilling or incompetent...find another.......and be informed as to what the fixes are.....

Please check the discussion list here in the Chevrolet HHR Group for the appropriate "problems" discussion to post in.   We're moving away from these large generic discussions, and setting up smaller more focused ones. This is a work in progress, so if you don't find a discussion that fits the issue you want to talk about, please feel free to create a new one and we can adjust things later if need be.   Thanks for your patience and assistance as we move the furniture around!   I'll be moving posts out of this discussion to help get the new ones rolling, so if you find that some posts seem to have disappeared, that's the explanation. Just check the discussion list for the group by clicking on the link in this post to find the appropriate discussion.
