Almost 74K on my 07...so far no major issues...brakes done around 65K I think...slight clunk when turning the wheel but have not had it checked out yet. It is a pretty decent car...all Ive had to do is change the oil...probably due for another air filter change..biggest pita has been silverstar headlights burning out really early...normally I wouldn't care but in order to change headlights...well you guys know...put in just reg bulbs 30K ago and no issues at all since...although sure as rain one of my silverstar fogs crapped out today oh well
But yes it is an ok car for what I paid for it

Two years on my 08 Panel (bought it a week before Halloween 07) and 18,000 trouble-free miles...... well except for the lousy Michigan roads claiming 3 steel rims....
I'll have my HHR a looooong time.

Had the "Toy" since June of 06. and still in love with it. That's saying a lot since my previous cars were a 86 Z28 followed by a Formula Firebird. Never thought about hanging with people in a forum or being in a car club before getting this ride.
I was a little concerned about my interest in the HHR waning when I started a new Hobby (RC heli's) a few moths ago, but that hasn't happened

I even may love driving her more since swapping out the Firehawks for a set of Bridgestone Potenza g019.

I was done with mine just shy of four years, traded it on a whim. I could have driven it into the ground or traded it by that point. I was going to have to put some money into the brakes and suspension after 83,000 miles, just got lazy for what it was worth.
In the end, I traded the car on its fourth birthday. It probably went to some buy here, pay here lot with all the miles and door dings. I did love the Daytona Blue that seemed to get rarer as the years went by. I was pretty lucky that I didn't have any of the early to mid year production issues too. I wouldn't mind getting another one some day. We parted on a good note, I'd say.
