Chevy HHR or Ford Flex?

This depends on what you need it for. The HHr is a good compromise between car and mini-cargo van. The Ford Flex is a mini-suv. I really dont think you can honestly compare these two because they are 2 different clification of vehicles. The HHR is a 4 cylinder and the Flex is a V-6. The Flex is almost 2 feet longer and heavier. The HHR gets much better fuel economy. I like both vehicles and i own the HHR and a good friend of mine owns a Flex. Both ride decent and have decent power for their size. You will need to decide what you need the vehicle to accomplish (cargo, towing, MPG, etc, etc). Once to decide that, it should be easier to decide which one. Oh, the Flex is also about $10,000 more than the HHR. Neither I or my friend have had any issues with our vehicles either. The Flex wins in towing and cargo space. The HHR wins in safety, MPG and ease of driving. Hope this helps.
