Drove a HHR S/S today

The Cruck · 01-27-2008, 12:24 AM

I took a HHR S/S for a test drive today, it felt so good, I drove it home afterwards.
It is Sweet.
Black-n-Fast.
The dual scroll Turbo has power on tap whenever, (well

), you tap it.
I got the auto, and I didn`t notice any boost lag, even from a stop light.
The seats are very supportive and the ride is firm, it takes curves effortlessly.
The last car I had with this feel of power was a `86 Mustang 5.0 GT.
I hope it gets better gas milage

!!!!

Congratulations, I'd definitely consider one if I was in the market

Congrats on your new car. Post some more pictures if you have any, please!

Sweet car. The funny thing is it might be about as fast as your old Mustang.

Or faster especially in the quarter, but with the auto maybe just as fast. What else did you consider? How does the turbo pull? And if you don't mind, what did you end transaction price end up being? 21k, 24k? I assume no rebates right?

I was upsidedown, traded in my 2006 1LT, I didn`t consider anything else, I just wanted a more potent HHR.
The 1LT was (unofficially) my wifes X-Mas present a couple years ago, and she`s still sorta salty, only a couple hours have passed.
She drove it today to church (at my insistance) and she likes the power, if it`s not too much for her... but she was kinda attached to the 06, poor baby

.
And it is as fast if not faster than my 86 GT, She didn`t like that car either, probably drove it once in 3 years.
I got some discounts but my payments are higher anyway.
24K sounds about right.

Congrats on the new purchase. None of the Chevy dealerships near me have the HHR SS yet.

Cool ride!

Wow, congrats on the HHR, I sat in one at NAIAS, very cool. Did you get the red/grey interior, or just the regular grey?

bad03xtreme · 01-28-2008, 12:45 PM

Great to hear. I plan on picking up an SS later this year after my house purchase.

1BadPig · 01-28-2008, 12:51 PM

Cool! 8) BTW, did you cross shop with a Mazdaspeed 3? There is a '07 with 9K miles at the local dealer's lot that I'm interested in trading the '06 HHR.

bad03xtreme · 01-28-2008, 01:04 PM

Keep the HHR its american.

JBsZ06 · 01-28-2008, 01:51 PM

At the recent NJ autoshow they had the HHR. I got to sit in one.. and I was really impressed. The car sure does scoot!

Have fun.
