I love Chevys. I never had a bad one. I still own my first chevy (1966 Chevelle) that I bought in 1973 while in high school. I was looking at a new 2009 HHR that was discounted at local Chevy dealership. The price looked good and as long as it had A/C and a radio I would buy it. I bought the car sight unseen as they had to pick up my base HHR at another dealership in the next state. ... Read More...

I have a 2009 HHR LT2 with the 2.4 L . When I first got it the mileage wasn't so good, (20 city, 26 Highway) took it to dealer who told me that Chevrolet recommends number 1 tier gasoline, example, Chevron, or Shell etc. also most gasonline has a ethanol blend that causes the mileage to drop, try gas without the ethanol, I did and have a vast improvement. I am now getting ... Read More...

A few more changes I noticed...

Written by: chris80233 on Sep 19, 2008 02:53 PM

Took a test drive the other day in a very base 2009 HHR LS with the 2.2L automatic transmission (that was the only option). Check out my full report in the HHR Test Drive thread. The power window switches are now on the door armrest (and they are illuminated). The "ambient" spot light overhead is no longer there. A nice touch: there is now a "leather" boot around the ...

I've been looking at getting a new car and I've narrowed it down to either the HHR or the Malibu. I stopped by my local Chevy dealer today and was able to compare the two side by side and take both vehicles out for a quick test drive. I drove the HHR first and here's what I thought of the vehicle. I tested a 2009 HHR LS automatic with the 2.2L. I like the styling of the HHR and ... Read More...

Re: Looking for MPG. Is the HHR the answer? [micweb]

Written by: poncho167 on May 22, 2008 11:11 AM

The HHR will likely give you mid -20's around town and into the 30's mpg highway. It's cousin the Chevy Cobalt which is built on the same chassis is also a very nice car for the money and tops in mileage with the great Ecotec engine of course. Stay away from the Caliber because its build quality is not very good and average mileage. The upcoming Chevy Aveo for 2009 will ... Read More...
