Used 2007 Chevrolet HHR Consumer Reviews
Gone....Best Little Truck & cute
GONE TO TEXAS WITH MY SON 3 YEARS AGO BUT EDMONDS KEEPS ASKING ME.....CANNOT CANCELL ACCOUNT..Loved this relieable vehicle so much that I just gave it to my son on his immigration to Dallas Texas from New York City, in Feb 2021. 1600 miles with no problems (then126,000)! This little truck can hold so much. 30mpg on my hi-way trips between NYC & Kingston NY. Easy on maintenance cost, I go to the dealer at main checkups and Monro and Mavis in between. Only complaints; rust at bottom of doors inside. Rotors and wheel bearings wear out every 35,000 miles., though not any more now that I'm in the 100k+ high mileage. I can't figure out how to remove water stains on the upholstery, I use sheepskin covers up front and a blanket in back. A rattle left of driver's dashboard has been there since 11k miles only on gravel roads; now my 2007 HHR is at 121k miles., but still love the truck in Sept.2020. This little truck was 1st owned by my wife's father (11,000 miles) then us til 126000, now my son wants to keep it for another 100,000. He's going to give it a special paint job to dress it up ! Miss it ! He jut did that fancy paint job, new custom grill, new wheel covers, custom front and back bumpers....Wow !

Great Value
I love this car but not as much as my PT Cruiser. I think the Pt Cruiser had more cargo room and there were no blind spots. Lots of blind spots with the HHR so you have to drive more defensively. The reliability is very good. I have had a lot more things go wrong with the pt cruiser than this car. Repair costs are about the same. I get 26 mpg compared to 18 with the Pt Cruiser.

After 5yrs/135K miles and going strong
I purchased this car for it's unique look, decent mileage and ability to carry lots of things. It has been a very reliable car. No problems what so ever. The car does get regular maintance but believe me.. I'm not perfect at it. I recommend this car to anyone just don't mind the car being called 'PT Cruiser' or the white bus. My Fiance hated this car in the beginning and he's a car enthusiast. If you asked him now, he would be hard pressed not to recommend it either. It has been more reliable than his car and he takes care of his own car like a baby!
A good attempt.
The HHR is a good idea, a compact sport ute designed after a vintage Suburuban. However, it comes with flaws. Chrome stickers that easily peel off of door handles are just part of drawbacks to a decent car that has some great potential & storage capabilities. The interior, while not badly laid out, is littered with cheap plastics. A high belt line & low roof line give a nice look but combine for poor headroom & blind spots. The 4 spd auto trans. is antiquated but shifting is good & fuel economy is ok but should be better. Power is also good & handling is exceptional for the bulky design, but is hampered by torque steer. Ride is good but comes with rattles & squeaks. Still, a good attempt.
