Used 2006 Chevrolet HHR Consumer Reviews
Bought Two - Both Great Cars
Boucht one in October 2005 for my wife. Liked it so well that I bought one for myself. Very comfortable on 1,000-mile trip. Plenty of pep, unless you need to drag race.
HHR in the country
I really enjoy driving my HHR. My son, on the other hand, likes the car, but at 6'1", he is almost too tall to comfortably drive it.
Great value & safe
I bought the HHR to use it as a work vehicle because I haul a variety of odd objects on a daily basis. It carries a ton of stuff for such a compact vehicle. I soon found out that the HHR was much more than just a reasonably priced fuel sipping "stuff" hauler. Last week I was rear-ended by a full size Dodge cargo van. I was stopped but the van hit me so hard that I was pushed 20ft by the impact (with my brakes applied). I figured the tailgate would be in the back seat judging from such a hard hit but there was almost no visible damage other than some scuffs on the bumper. The Dodge could only be so lucky. Its bumper had to be pried off of its front wheels before it could even move.
Awesome!
This is a replacement vehicle for a 2000 Tahoe. Needless to say I was not real sure I wanted to get rid of the Tahoe, as it was also a very awesome rig. Not too great on fuel tho. But this HHR has surpassed all my expectations by leaps and bounds. I am 67 yrs young, Tahoe had purple flames and so naturally, this HHR had to have purple flames also. I love the vehicle. I cant say enough about it. The handling ability is so great and it really gets up and goes. I think it would have beat the Tahoe!! GM has done it again.
Retro is in
It took a month of looking to find the car. In late 2005 they were hard to get. Great styling, its boxy shape and fenders remind one of the old gangster cars. Very roomy inside considering the external dimensions of the vehicle. It fits in narrow parking spaces and has a lot of cargo room with the rear seat folded down.
