This car is an obvious take off of the PT Cruiser, but you need to know that the original designer of the PT left Dodge and when to GM to make this car. One he really wanted. It is stunning, and draws attention easily.
The little I4 is simply amazing. So much power out of a normally aspirated engine. Fun to drive and plenty of get-up-and-go, yet without being overbearing.
We never get below the rated MPG. Easy to go above the top on highway too.
For such a cheap car, this one has been very reliable. A few things, but nothing that surprised me, or was hard to fix.
The driver height for a small car in the HHR is very nice. Visibility is the best in class.
