I was in the EXACT same spot as you like a week and a half ago. I really liked the Astra, especially all the reviews about it, but there were a few things I didn't like once I test drove it. The motor is weak, the shifter feels a little spongy, and the radio and DIC are completely unmarked. It took me and paul a good amount of time to figure out how to work it.

I too didn't like the look of the HHR up til probably 2 weeks ago. I went and test drove one just for the hell of it, and lo and behold, I boguht one this weekend. Just go test one, even if the one you test is an automatic, it will give you the feel of what the cars about.
