With the Michlelin Pilot Exalto Tires A/S that I put on during the winter, the HHR is just fine in the snow. They are also great on wet pavement. (The Firestone Firehawks that originally came with the car were terrible in the snow.)

 

I juts bought an 07 2lt a few weeks ago it was used it was a rentail but it had the car fax report and it was a chevy certified car so i got a realy good rate on a used 3.9% the car had 30,000 on it I think the only options it dinnt have was onstar and leather and the block heater. oh and because it was gm certified I got the 100,000 mile warinty still with it any was I paid 15,300 for it I could have gotten it lower but I traded in a truck on it and I wanted more on my trade in (just to keep my wife happy) so they couldnt do much on the price.but I love wish I did it a few years ago when the first came out. but no snow driving gotta love sunny CA haha god luck oh also check the web sites of all local dealers for used and or new HHRs it saved me time thats how I found this one and the chevy website will tell you the special offers the have that month so do some of the dealers sites

 

love my 06...no issues, paid 12,900 for it with 20,000 rounds on the clock, good luck

 

I'm the original owner of my '06 automatic 1LT. We had a few good snows here in Southern Indiana this past winter, and HHRvey handled great! I also agree with the others on this post that you were not quoted a good price. Keep checking around, and I hope you will join the HHR family! It's a fun car to own and drive!

 

I actually found the link for the car I test drove.

I do have to agree that it is fun to drive.

I test drove a manual yetsreday, and the saled girl that went along for the testdrive said she could tell i liked the manula more than the automatics... because i coulnd't quit smiling.

1 problem with the manual... my wife REFUSES to drive a stick...

guess i have to stick to the autos... not such a bad thing though.

Thanks guys...
