Mine seems to start very quiclky everytime when using the key, but when I use the remote start, I hit the lock button and then it says to hold the start button for two seconds , but it sometimes takes three or four. I guess this could be a symptom of the same problem if there is a problem.

equus.....
can you supply a little more detail in...."a little more than normal to start"?
Are you saying, for example, that the engine is "cranking" for 3 or 4 seconds before starting?
Are you turning the key and NOTHING happens for several seconds?
Are you turning the key and you hear a clicking sound, then the car starts?
As for my experience...... I have NONE of these problems. My HHR, 2.4, auto. starts immediately everytime.....even with the remore start.

I had the fuel pump problem on my HHR. With mine, the only time I had trouble was after I had been driving, shut the car off for a bit (15 minutes to an hour) and try to start, it would crank for a long time before finally starting. They found the fuel pump would lose pressure. Fuel pump was replaced and no problems since. Good luck.
