5spd HHR's

I have a LS 5spd and wanted to know at what RPM would it be recommended changing gears? I was changing gears every 3000rpm but it seamed under power so now im taking it up to 4000rpm and there is a great difference in power.

I was so close to getting a 5sp, but I ended up deciding against it.

Same here. I went against it just because sitting in a traffic jam with a manual sucks. I bought my HHR as a daily driver so that was important to me.

true sitting in a traffic jam sucks but when you need to take off quick you have all the torque just waiting to be used not like an automatic that takes sometime to pick up I average 25.3MPG in mix city/Hwy
