Replying to: estrauss11 (Jun 07, 2006 9:31 am) Just replaced my '05 9.2x with an new '05 maxx lt. The maxx is a much better car by far. If you really like the maxx then you might like the subaru outback...drove one for six years and loved it, swore I wouldn't drive another FWD vehicle,then I had the 9.2x for a year and a half.

Replying to: maxx4me (Nov 13, 2002 6:41 pm) I traded my '06 Maxx LT 3.5L A for a HHR 2LT and was very dissapointed. I kick myself every time I see a Maxx. I guess this was the stupid moment that every one has. Replies to this message: csandste (Jan 01, 2008 11:32 pm) scortch (Jan 05, 2008 9:51 am)

Replying to: scortch (Jan 01, 2008 8:56 pm) I rented an HHR 2LT last fall. Better than I would have thought, seemed to handle slightly better than the Maxx and the larger engine wasn't too bad. Like most renters, I didn't stick premium in it, but didn't notice the difference. Still like my Maxx better.   Can I ask for a little more detail as to why you're kicking yourself?

Replying to: csandste (Jan 01, 2008 11:32 pm) I kick myself, because for me, the Maxx was a much better car and I traded it for what turned out to be a disaster, for me (the HHR). There were just way too many issues I did not like with the HHR, after I got to driving it for a bit. Things I didn't really notice during the test drive.

Man, I'm glad I read this thread. I was looking at getting a used HHR or used Maxx and y'all just helped me immensely.   Thanks! Replies to this message: maxx4me (Jan 10, 2008 4:20 pm)
#19 of 23 check out this one also by scortch Jan 10, 2008 (3:59 pm)
Check out this thread, it might help also. Some people disagree with the problems I found with the HHR but, you can look over the list and check them out for yourself when you look at one.   Changes you would like to see   I want my Maxx back Oh well, I have an Impala now and much happier than I was with the HHR.

#21 of 23 HHR on long trip by kurtamaxxxguy Apr 04, 2008 (6:22 am)
I did this a few years ago but as HHR has not changed all that much since '06 or so (save for the SS model), this might be of help:   Drove an HHR rental on a 1400 mile trip. Compared to my former Maxx, the HHR had less power/responsiveness, less comfortable seats, wandered more on the road, and got about the same gas mileage (maybe a tiny bit better). It more or less got me there but was not all that impressive.   The new '09 Forester blows the HHR away in all but fuel economy, IMHO Replies to this message: poncho167 (Apr 06, 2008 4:57 am) kurtamaxxxguy (May 11, 2008 7:14 pm)

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Apr 04, 2008 6:22 am) The Forester also is not the same class of vehicle and costs $$$ more. Replies to this message: kurtamaxxxguy (May 11, 2008 7:14 pm)

Replying to: poncho167 (Apr 06, 2008 4:57 am) Depends which Forester you are talking about. Foresters are around $19K to start. HHR LT's which appear equivalent to the base Forester is around $18K. Keep in mind Forester has AWD while HHR has FWD, so it's natural the Forester will cost a little more.
