A SURPRISE OF A CAR !!

2009 Chevrolet HHR LT 4dr Wagon (2.2L 4cyl 4A)

I am an old guy that loves cars. Just gave up a Oldsmobile Aurora for an HHR. Who does this? I needed some gas mileage but we vacation a good bit, being retired. This little bugger is amazing! It corners like it is on rails, is very comfortable to ride in, its cool cause you don't seem like an old guy! The 250 amp Pioneer 7 speaker stereo on XM Rocks! it has every feature my Aurora had except memory seats and ride leveler. I did buy the larger engine 2.4 which comes in the 2LT. I almost wish I would have gotten the Super Sport, but this engine is great.Go buy one--I'm in Florida though---no more Ohio snow!

I just purchased my 2nd HHR. I had another one in the exact same color back in 2010 and absolutely loved it. It's really fun to drive and is great on gas. I drove from Arizona to Ohio back in 2011 and had trouble after about an hour on the road and was able to get towed to a repair shop that fixed an alternator belt. Overall my experience was awesome. I am so thankful to have another one to cruise around town in and plan to drive it back to Arizona from Florida in a few months. Wish me well!!! :-)

2009 Chevrolet HHR LS 4dr Wagon (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
7 of 10 people found this review helpful

I bought my Chevy HHR with 58000 miles on it from a good dealership. I have had problem after problem luckily most of it covered by my warranty I bought with the car. The major problem seems to be the parts on this car wear out fast replaced fuel lines and the calibers and the window switches I have not even had it a year. One last thing I take care of my cars I always wash them the winters are not long where I live and certain parts of the exterior like to rust particularly the rear doors Ive noticed it on other hhrs as well. I like the inside of this car and thats it I grew up in a Chevy family but I wouldn't recommend getting this car.

We have a 2008 HHR that has rust at the bottom of the doors. The dealership Hare Chevrolet refuses to do anything about it and accused me of wrongdoing on my part. Like the car but, don't like the dealership. Again the dealership is Hare Chevrolet Noblesville, Indiana
