#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: 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.
