Looking for a "mini" minivan and test drove the HHR, didnt like it at first. Had one for a rental on a week trip and liked it after getting used to the front visibilty. I can fit two large dog crates in the back. The seats fold flat and level very easy
I drive a AWD TOyota Sienna and needed a better mpg commuter car. THe HHR can haul most of what the minivan did and get nearly 10 mpg better. Most of the additional payment will be saved by the better mpg for my high mile driving.
