Used 2007 Chevrolet HHR Wagon Consumer Reviews

Best Car

I love it. You can put a 2"x4"x8' in vehicle with no trouble. Boxes of tools. Best little car. I'm 6'3"3/4 tall 260 lbs. So far 13,645 miles on it.

My HHR

Just bought it a couple of weeks ago, and my wife and I really enjoy it very much. It handles great, parks easy, rides smooth, is really good on gas, and we love it.

A fun, but massive disappointment

Bought this as a last resort after my Kia Soul was stolen and wanted something close to a quirky, economical wagon body vehicle. Found this vehicle and thought, why not I like the PT cruisers and other weird cars what could go wrong. Well aside from the amazing fuel economy (roughly 35mpg) and the large space, this car was an accident waiting to happen. The brakes on this car were non-antilock brakes (meaning the lock up and freeze when pushed to hard) and the steering was unresponsive and heavy to the point it handled like a heavier car than it is. The engine and transmission combo were awfully slow and less than eager to get the car moving along. The piss poor handling, braking and heavy weight resulted in me crashing into a wall in less than ideal winter conditions and resulted in the car being totaled. I would recommend against the base LS trim and opt for the higher LT and SS trims as they possess the necessary safety equipment to keep this car on the road and actually be a more pleasurable experience for daily driving.

Surprising little car

CAR FROM HELL

This car has been giving me nothing but issues. I've had it for about a year and a half. The first 6 months were fantastic, everything worked great! Then the worst came. My car kept trying to overheat, no idea why. I had to keep adding coolant, but I had no leaks. Then, I changed the thermostat and coolant sensor. Still not working. I shortly found out that I needed a new water pump. These three repairs cost me almost $1000. My car was okay for 3 months, then it started running a high temperature once again. I found out that I had an air pocket, and then I was okay for about a week and a half. Now my car is still over heating and I have no idea why. In conclusion, if you want this car, then you better be willing to put more money than it's worth in it.
