Another new (used) HHR SS owner.

I have been looking for a vehicle that combines utility and performance for a while and I stumbled across the HHR SS. Unfortunately they were out of production so I set out to find a nice low mileage one. Last week I lucked out and found one fairly close to me and purchased it. The Specs:
  • 2010 HHR SS, Silver over black.
  • 5 speed
  • Performance Package
  • Sunroof

I think it has every option. Best part it had less than 11K miles on the clock. I paid $16,500 which was a little more than I wanted but not bad considering.

I only have two complaints, first I am 6ft. and in the most comfortable seating position my hair rubs on the roof. Second, it doesn't have near enough storage. I would kill for center console storage.

The only thing i would like right now is a good iPhone mount. Any suggestions?

Anyway, that is my intro. Glad to be here and enjoying the car immensely.

- Neil

Congrats and !!!

Can't help with your question, though, but even at 5'9", I can see your headroom issue. I have to adjust the seat "just so", to fit in with a helmet, too.

I think the sunroof eats a little of the precious headroom. Oh well, still having fun with it..

Openning the sun roof and raising your seat - works also.
