I would go for a 2007+, even if its slightly higher mileage, there were a couple issues with the first year that were corrected. eg the stuck key in ignition
Also, the charcoal (black) interior on some '07+ looks better IMO and hides dirt better.

About 150 miles a day, good thing it's been raining or my 100K warranty would have expired.
The LT is better
Always get the best car you can, you'll enjoy it more.

The LS comes with an AM/FM single disc radio, cloth interior, 2.2L engine and 16" rims with wheel covers. The LT would have 16" or 17" alloy rims (either a flat aluminum finish or highly polished), options for leather interior, sunroof, remote start, and a bigger 2.4L engine.
These aren't all the differences but it's a start. The LS trim level is the base model, the LT trim is the pretty one, and the SS trim is the fast one

LS only comes with the 2.2 L. The 1LT was available with either the 2.2 L or the 2.4 L. The 2LT was only available with the 2.4 L and had a sport suspension. The SS comes with the 2.0 L Turbo. Options are available on all but more is standard with each step up.
I had a 1LT with the 2.2 L that was nice enough but I upgraded to the SS when it came out.

I came home with the 2006 HHR LT. The test drive went fine car is good.
I did not even go to the other dealer to check the 08 and 09...
Since the price was higher I new my payments were going to be higher.
I work with the State and now we have to take furlough days which means
less $$$$$ for me...
I did end up with a 60 month, 60 thousand miles extended warranty at the price of 24 months and 24 thousand mile.
Overall I am happy with my decision.
Thanks everyone for there input.
