The occasionally amusing thing about business travel is getting to drive unexpected cars. Yes, usually I end up in the standard mid-sized sedan yadda-yadda -- but occasionally the vagaries of supply and demand mean that I end up in something unusual -- a giant SUV, or a Miata, or, in the case of this most recent trip, a Chevy HHR.
Which basically seems to be Chevy's answer to the PT Cruiser, but for all of that it was a pleasant enough vehicle, nicely styled inside and out, with good cargo capacity and decent performance. Biggest problem wias a very low front windshield, which meant that I couldn't see overhead traffic lights without stooping.

It's the simple things that matter in life, and very unexpected that a car company would screw up such a thing. A simple test drive using drivers of different height, weight, and size would easily solve the problem.
