Its a good car overall and most will have no problem hitting 300000k miles but they do have small issues that need addressed. First water leaks sunroof and the rubber patch under the hood, easy fixes if looked up online. Front end noises are common but fixed with sway bar links and bushings. Electrical problems caused by bad connectors in the trunk area will cause the car to seem posses but again are easy fixes. Overall very happy with the car gets decent mileage and drive train is very solid

My own chevy 2006 HHR Leaks on the passenger side and lately on the drivers side, my windshield whippers transmission just decided that it was going to stop working, i also have had numerous issues with it constantly not starting after leaving it parked for no more 3 minutes and have had to call GM Roadside Assistances more then 15 times in the winter as well as in the summer. My stairing wheel has been shaking constantly for so long and the car only has about 72000KM and all this started way before it even hit 55000KM! And these problems are only the big visible ones there are so many more it's a joke I do not suggest purchasing this vehicule! I hope they discontinue and fast!

Ive owned many cars over the years and can honestly say this is by far the worst one ive ever had. Bought it at 80K.. 92K it all started: - warped front rotors constantly - road noise is horrible - terrible desgn with blind spots - replaced the engine at 135K - wind shield wipers hitting each other - -0- power - replaced 2K worth of sensors and moduals - seats stained SOOO Easlily - if the battery goes dead, you cant open the rear gate to get to the battery.. JESUS, i absolutely HATE this damned car. Does actually get good mileage.. (when its actually on the road and not in the shop) DO NOT BUY ONE!! Id buy an ugly 1991 ford escort 4 door hatck back with 350K miles first

This car is not a person friendly car, the over head comes down too low (can not see street light) , the window buttons are out of reach the radio is not very good at all the good on this HHR is when you put the back seats down you can load a lot of stuff into it it's like a truck want to be. I miss having it, It Was Totaled
