I bought my '07 around Thanksgiving last November. I traded a stepside Chevy regular cab pickup that was my pride and joy. With three pickups driving long commutes to school and work each day I felt that I would have to sacrifice and find something with better fuel economy. I had driven a SUV or pickup for over 20 years and dreaded the thought of a car. The only thing that appealed to me was the retro look of the HHR because I didn't want to look like everyone else driving down the road. Everything is a plus with my HHR. 27 miles to the gallon, fun to drive, and plenty of room. My boys love to ride along especially because they can plug in their i-pods. The oldest son is wanting to buy a used one for the looks and economy.
I want to eventually add some modifications but with a senior about to enter college those will come slowly. I haven't posted pictures yet because it has been a very wet winter and I haven't explored this site enough to learn how to put things in the gallery.
A big thank you to this site's members for all the information provided before I made my decision to buy. I didn't post very many questions but I visited this site daily during my research to get owner information.

 

Glad you are still liking it as much as most are.

 

It's hard to beat the HHR's excellent balance of style, versatility, enjoyment, and economy.

 

Thanks for sharing, PictureTaker!
I think our family members are taking a second-look at our little car's and thinking they aren't as ugly/weird/funky/small, etc. as they thought. And once they hear the gas-mileage and see how much fun we have in them, they are now considering getting one!

Copy-cat's!

DITTO!!!!! This site gave me excellent help before I purchased my HHR. THANK YOU EVERYONE back in November and early December of 2007 for your recommendations and direction.

And I too LOVE my HHR....more than ANY car I have ever owned in my 30 years of owning a LOT of cars.

Driving an HHR is not just driving a "car", it is a lifestyle!
