New HHR Review
Vehicle
2007 Chevrolet HHR LT 4dr Wagon (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
HHR is a nice looking car and I have all the bells and whistles. However, it is short on power and when the sunroof is open, it makes too much noise. The insulation in the car where the open hood is, insulation is coming out. For the MSRP, the car is cheaply made and overpriced. Too much plastic inside vehicle, mirrors are not lighted and the side panels are cheaply made.
Favorite Features
Car looks good, spoiler gives it a sporty look with the running boards and roof rack.
Suggested Improvements
Less plastic inside vehicle, better wind deflector

HHR Heaven
Vehicle
2007 Chevrolet HHR LT 4dr Wagon (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I don't drive on the highway much except to the airport, I am an around town/back and forth to work driver. This vehicle replaced a Suzuki small SUV that I loved. However, the HHR is a great replacement. Very comfortable seats and very smooth drive, maneuverability, quiet,peppy (I have the 2.4L) and it is great in town. Good price for the money. I recommend it.
Favorite Features
Love the retro, exterior style/color, Color - white. Peppy, front seat comfort, sunroof, lot's of room - fold the back seats down and it accomodates my 2 rescued greyhounds easily! Much much more room compared to the the PT Cruiser which is cramped and highly uncomfortable side by side.
Suggested Improvements
Terrible front cup holder location. Power window location is hard to get used to. Arm rests are virtually useless; very poor design. Power seats need more range especially up and down. Needs more storage areas in front driving area. Add 4WD or AWD option.
HHR is a blast!

Review
I purchased the HHR mainly for the looks and economy. It is quite adequate in both categories. Performance is a little suspect even with the big 4 cylinder engine and the premium fuel suggestion is absurd. It runs fine on mid grade or even regular. No pinging and no noticeable power loss. It is fun to drive and handles very well. The XM radio is great but the cup holders are not very good. I am still trying to figure out what that little light next to the sunroof controls is for. All in all I am very pleased with my purchase and coming from a Ram 1500 Quad Cab with hemi engine I love being able to drive by a gas station without stopping.
Favorite Features
Styling. Fuel economy
Suggested Improvements
More power without sacrificing mileage. Cup holders
Love the Chevy HHR

Review
Shopped the PT Cruiser, Jeep Compass, etc. but this HHR was the obvious choice. Very fun car to drive. Gets double-takes out on the highway. Stick shift is fun to drive and has neat old style chrome shifter. Getting 30 to 34 mpg on the highway. Will carry 5 people comfortably or a bunch of cargo with seats folded down, up to 8' long. Very quiet and comfortable while driving. Lots of storage areas, although map pockets in door are not big enough. Base stereo is OK. Has features you would not expect for such an inexpensive car - cruise control, power windows, power programmable door locks (they lock and unlock automatically) , A/C, electromagnetic power steering, keyless entry and alarm, etc.
Favorite Features
Old School hot rod styling; fantastic fuel mileage; super fun to drive (manual shifting is still pretty neat for some of us old folks). Very quiet and comfortable - soaks up the bumps easily. Doors close with a nice thump sound - surprising for a Chevy. Love all the gadgets like the "Info Center.."
Suggested Improvements
Armrests interfere with cupholders, which are too far back. Visibility is not the greatest(i.e. I have to duck down and look up sometimes to see the stoplights). ABS should be standard on all models. Funny window switch placement. Avoid the tan color interior,seat fabrics are not dirt- friendly.

New Item for us.
Vehicle
2007 Chevrolet HHR LT 4dr Wagon (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
We are very satisfied with our HHR. We have three small children, and they have plenty of room as well as the front two passengers. It is very hard to use the cupholders up front while driving. Other than that the only other odd thing is the battery placement. What is up with that? I haven't even seen the battery yet. I hope all of the rear storage doesn't have to be removed to get to it. I am disabled and this would pose a problem for myself. Other than those small things, the SUV is great in every way.

I purchased this vehicle strictly for comfort as I am 6' tall. I found it to have the most creature comforts for the money, and, it's just plain old fun to drive.
Favorite Features
Gas mileage, auto start, leather, legroom, headroom, easy to get in and out of.
Suggested Improvements
The Pioneer strereo could pack a little more punch
Great for the money, but...

Review
Traded in my gas guzzling Suburban, paying the gas was just plain crazy! At first I thought I had settled for the HHR, boy I was wrong. I love my HHR. Fun to drive, not as nimble as a MINI but awesome for under $16K. We like it so much that we are considering trading my wife's car for the special edition HHR or the Super Sport HHR. One huge complaint, I really believe everyone should complain about the $395 option for rear air bags! Crazy! Chevy should include this in every HHR. That would seal the deal. If I would have know before, I would have ordered an HHR with the option of airbags for the rear seats.
Favorite Features
XM, Pioner radio, mileage, and the ride.
Suggested Improvements
Include airbags for all passengers. Ridiculous and sad statement for Chevy

So far so good

2007 Chevrolet HHR LS 4dr Wagon (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
Well, left my VW Jetta 1.8 Turbo ( end of lease ) for this car. Took the car for a drive twice and fell in love with the looks, ease of getting in or out, smooth ride, milleage and price. Got the base model 2.2,LS, 5 manual and no frills. Big change in lifestyle but so far, so good. Enjoying the ride and good gas usage so far.. 8.5L TO 100 Kms, city driving during the first 1000Kms break in period. Great AC and heating systems.
Favorite Features
Price and looks
Suggested Improvements
Better marketing strategy from GM and heated seats and side mirrors for base models.

Review
We loved it the minute we drove it. The only complaints we have are the location of the cup holders and the shortness of the arm rests. We particulary like the shape of the door handles. Anybody with a hand problem can easily open this door. Also, be careful closing the hatch with your hip, my husband did this and it left of dent! We have to have bodywork on our HHR with only 1000 miles on it!
Favorite Features
Appearence and style, love the back two level deck
Suggested Improvements
Need better location for the cupholders

Review
I truly enjoy it. It's pretty quiet and spacious. Fuel economy. The A/C cools pretty quick. I used to have a Honda Civic and it would take forever to get the cool air out.
Favorite Features
Auto start, small compartment in the front dash board, quiet. Speaker sounds are clear, spacious inside, black interior
Suggested Improvements
Change the cup holders. More space between the seats to put your purse.
