#106 of 142 Re: HHR Newbie [hhr_rox] by poncho167 Apr 06, 2008 (5:04 am)
Replying to: hhr_rox (Apr 04, 2008 5:16 pm) I have only driven on short drives but I have heard their nice on the highway. Because of Heritage High Roof (HHR) there can be some wind buffeting from cross winds as most any light highroof vehicle. The Cobalt is also a very nice smooth highway car that shares its chassis with the HHR. Replies to this message: laco (May 10, 2008 9:29 am)

#108 of 142 My 08 HHR by dmathews3 May 10, 2008 (10:55 am)
I picked up my new HHR last Monday and first thing I did was ditch the cheap Firestones for Goodyear Assurance triple treads. Should come in real handy during these Michigan winters. Added some weathertech floor liners and have a BlueOx baseplate and wiring kit due in this week so I can tow it behind my motorhome. Replies to this message: laco (May 11, 2008 10:04 am)

Tows great, don't even know its there, except for the image in the rear camera. I also had the US Gear brake system installed. Its simple, only need to plug it in, and it too works great.

Just purchased 2008 LT Shadow Edition. Includes leather seats, enhanced sound and all the stuff that comes in the "special edition".   Great car. Way more comfortable than the one with cloth seats we drove first. Love the heated seats.   It has the 2.2L which feels adequate. Guess it could be faster...but I bought for a third car to get better mileage than our Suburban and F150 (daily commuter).   Car was delivered with two of the Firestone Firehawks out of balance. Dealer could not get them to balance so they have replaced them.   This is alot of car for the money. Replies to this message: poncho167 (May 22, 2008 5:36 pm) megan03 (Jun 02, 2008 1:31 pm)

Replying to: megan03 (May 20, 2008 7:48 pm) I am not familiar with the Shadow Edition. So it sounds like it comes with leather and a sport suspension with those Firehawks. It's very possible that those tires could have been defects. That happens from time to time even from the tire stores. I to would be happy with the base 2.2 L engine because its pretty peppy and after all its only an econo box. Replies to this message: megan03 (Jun 02, 2008 1:31 pm)
#112 of 142 Happy Swap by rdelucchi May 31, 2008 (1:17 pm)
Just traded my 08 Scion xB for an 08 HHR LT; got tired of driving the stick in commute traffic, and really didn't like the lack of lumbar support. Very happy with the HHR so far...

Replying to: rdelucchi (May 31, 2008 1:17 pm) I have a 07 Caddy STS and just got a new HHR with the 2LT and all the toys including Leather and find myself telling the wife to take the STS to work so I can use the HHR. A $24K car and a $53K car and I drive the cheap one. Only thing I don't care for is the instrument cluster as the blue background behind the numbers is hard to read sometimes so I'm having this put in next week. http://tinyurl.com/5zhvn6 The company that makes these is only 60 miles from me so I emailed them and they will sell it to me and install for $150 total. Can't go wrong and should be a whole lot easier to read with my sun glasses on. Replies to this message: 62vetteefp (Jun 01, 2008 5:16 pm) dmathews3 (Jun 02, 2008 3:13 am)

Replying to: dmathews3 (May 31, 2008 1:51 pm) Please let us know how it works. We spend hours and hours getting the lighting just right. Making sure there are no hot spots, even lighting, etc. Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jun 02, 2008 3:13 am)

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jun 01, 2008 5:16 pm) All they are replacing is the gauge faces, so it is still my cluster. Only thing I hate on orginal was the blue put under the numbers. If they had just left it black background with bright white numbers, all would be well.
