"Her Hignesses Ride" is what I call it! I love it, drives like a sports car, works like an SUV, eats like a compact, great gas mileage! It's like a computer on wheels. Love them gadgets and read outs! Love the solid feel, the way it hugs the road. I feel safe and secure in it. Only fault is the center console design, they kinda screwed up the cup holders, but I knew that going into it. If you want to use the cup holder, you might as well forget using the arm rest. But, all the other great features out way that.
Ran great until...

Fairly good car. Interior was standing the test of time, electronics were also stable. However, the engine had a catastrophic failure and the car had to be put down. Replacement engine was going to run well over $7k. So long HHR

We’ve had this car for the majority of my life. It handles long trips (MO-TX and MO-NC) like a dream. Turns amazingly and is able to store so much stuff. It’s also built like a tank, the safest car we’ve ever had; it’s gone into ditches without have so much as a scratch and this past weekend kept me safe after hitting a tree in an ice storm. This car has been a trooper, and I’m so upset that it’s finally reached it’s last leg.

I've had my HHR for over a year now, and while it's fun to drive, i've had no shortage of problems, namely ongoing electrical problems with the signal lights, windshield seal leak, leak in windshield causing failure of heating system, paint chipping along bottom and rear, deprogramming of key/ignition, signal light failure, occasional popping noise when the radio is off, sticky first and second gear. That being said, it's a very unique and fun car. I've put 18" wheels on, making it sporty and quick handling. Stiff suspension, much like a sports coupe, especially with larger wheels on. Gas mileage is great, about 25 mpg in city/rush hour/stop and go traffic.
Our HHR - Great Car!

It was my wife's decision to buy this car. She purchased the 2006 Red Spring Edition package. As we also have a Trailblazer, I felt that she could have the HHR and I'd keep driving the TB. I've never been able to convince myself that I could get by with 4 cylinders having grown up in the muscle car age group. But, we've parked the TB in the garage and have driven the HHR 99% of the time! I was wrong about owning a 4 banger as this car has proven to me time and time again. Don't settle for the 2.2 engine, to sluggish! Buy the 2.4 with 175hp! It is quite zippy! Our HHR still has people turning their heads when we drive by and others stop us to ask questions about it. Buy one! You'll like it!
