HHR SS

What do you guys think of it? Is it a wimpy ride? Some people think that HHRs are for girls. Anybody have one?

My wife has a 07 HHR, here's a pic

it's a pretty nice car, she likes it. We've taken it on some trips and its not bad.
Now, as far as the SS model, a friend at work bought one for his wife, he brought it up to work one night and took me for a ride in it and I've got to tell you, thats one quick little car. If I remember correctly the turbo 4 banger puts out about 265HP.
While my wifes car has been a good car and has not given us any problems, my friends SS has given them ALOT of problems, they're very unhappy with it.

I had an 08 HHR SS and enjoyed it. Went down the road good, and run low 14's. Did sell it and bought the Camaro.

My brother had an HHR as a rental when someone hit his mustang. He loved it and said it was pretty quick. It wasn't even an SS. I thought it was comfortable when I sat in it.

Not a huge fan of this PT Cruiser knockoff to begin with, but here's where my real beef is.

I'm definitely not a fan of Chevy slapping SS all over cars that just aren't worthy. And to clarify- if it makes less than 300hp, it's not worthy. And that's just a ground rule. There should be other conditions as well, (platform, vehicle type, etc) but a car that does not produce at least 300hp (classic cars excluded) should not be get an SS badge. Sorry, my opinion.

I bought a 2008 HHR SS as my daily runner. I really like it. It's cool little sleeper. People like the above members who call it "Her Hot Rod" aren't saying that when I blow by them. It's got a potent little power plant. 2.0L Ecotec, Turbo charged. 260hp/260lbft. 3300lbs. It's no joke. Anybody who says it is doesn't know what they're talking about. Plus with a tune by Trifecta or even GM's canned tuned you can get over 300hp out of them. Here are some pics of mine.
