Mazdaspeed 6 vs Hhr ss which one to buy?
Hey Everybody,
Ok so I am looking at getting ether a mazdaspeed 6 or a hhr ss. There others that I'm considering if I can find for a good enough price such as a 06 or newer gto or mazdaspeed 3. Each of the cars have there pros and cons but I'm having a hard time deciding. The mazdaspeed 6 I think looks great and has awd to boot. However, I know the 2.3 can have some issues such as vvt chain rattle and smokey exhaust of you touch the downpipe. The Hhr ss has the LNf powertrain that's in something practical. The con to the hhr is mainly that the styling is questionable and it has pre bailout gm interior. I have found one of each in my price range and mileage is roughly the same so I ask you all which would you choose? Whichever one i get will be modded some nothihg extreme like exhaust,dp,tune etc.Or if you all have suggestions I am looking for a daily that is
06 or newer
70k or less miles
Max like 17k
Have some type of aftermarket
Thanks

I would go with the hhr. The 2.3 Mazda turbo is a piece of crap, you will be putting a turbo on it soon. And maybe even a motor. Before 100k in most cases. I don't know to much about the chevy reliability, but I'm pretty sure the motor is stronger than the Mazda.

OP, if you're set on a weird-ass crossover, I've always been partial to the SRT(or RT) Calibers.

Yeah the srt4 caliber is crazy looking but not as crazy as the hhr lol. The stage one option is nice and I would actually be getting it if I get one
