HHR Age appropriate
#12
Im 42, Wife is 52. We both young at heart and like the old hot rod look anyway, even when we was 20. I think its a style and nostalgia thing. Havent seen too many older here with them usually 30 somethings.

I'm 22 and passed on mulitple sorts of vehicles when I bought this. I have had normal cars, camaros, firebirds, truck, etc. I was tired of hotrodding and just wanted a car that would get me to work and school quietly. Put it this way, I had enough $ to buy a corvette and still bought an HHR. I just like having 4 doors.

I'm 28. Mostly use it as my DD but ocassionally it gets used as the family truckster! My wife and I met while cruising Burger King...I had a SHO and she had a turbo, AWD Talon. She traded a SHO to get that. We've pretty much always had 4 door cars as they are so much more practical. Got a good deal on the LT from a family member, otherwise I'd be rollin a SS
Most of the peeps that I see around here in HHR's are easily into their "mid-life crisis" stage of life. Interesting how it can appeal to such different age groups.

I was 50 when we got our first HHR in May 2006. The wife and I had been searching car lots since they came out but could not find one with a manual. At the time the wife's daily driver was a 2001 Corvette Coupe and I had a 2003 Vibe GT 6 Speed. If I'm going to drive a smaller car let me have some fun driving and shifting. All the dealers we talked to said they would not get any HHR's in with manuals! We finally found a 2006 Spring Edition in a 5 Speed and the Vibe was history. Move ahead to the fall of 2007 when the SS came out I went and test drove one and of course it was a automatic. I did not like how every time it shifted it would drop out of boost! It would be great if it was a 6 Speed Auto! Again all the dealers said they would not get a manual in. Fast forward to the summer of 2008 and the wife wanted to semi-retire the Vette to weekends and Corvette Club activies. So she said she would take the 2006 HHR as her daily driver and since I kept talking about the HHR SS she said I should order one. I was at Marathon Chevy in Summerville, SC in no time and used their first allocation of the 2009 model year to order a SS 5 Speed with Brembo's, LSD, etc. So to make a long story short we are both over 50 and love shifting manual transmissions.

I am 31 and bought the HHR last august, primarily for work. I needed the cargo room, so i wanted a panel. However, i needed the seats and thought my kid would want a window as well LOL. During the week its a delivery vehicle, driving 425 or so kilometers a day. Weekends, its the family wagon. I needed something more fuel efficient than my 95 ford windstar and something larger than a pt cruiser, and the hhr fit the bill. I love the fact that I save between $15-20 a day on fuel compared to the windstar i was driving before, and the HHR has great looks and turns alot of heads.

Im almost 20 and bought my SS when I turned 18. A girl I met has a base model and is a year younger than I. Both of us LOVE the HHR. I get alot of compliments on it from all ages. Especially when I get on it a little bit or have it shining bright.
