2010 Chevrolet HHR LT 4dr Wagon (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
10 of 10 people found this review helpful
Early HHRs had many teething problems; some of them serious. My 2010 model has been trouble free. The car went in for two recall items: ignition switch and power steering, even though I was not experiencing any problems. Neither visit cost me anything. My mileage isn't great - about 22mpg (80% street). I don't use ethanol. A drop of ethanol has about 85% the energy of a drop of gasoline. Not to mention some water content. The car is plenty peppy for me. The A pillars are very thick; take a little getting used to, but the interior is very comfortable. Entry/exit is very easy unlike some cars with a low roofline. I also like the useful cargo area and A/C. There is a little compartment in the middle of the dashboard - very handy. I do my own oil changes and the HHR is the best car for this. The new type oil filter is so neat, no mess. Owners of earlier models have reported transmission problems at around 40K+ miles. I only have 33K miles; no problems yet. So far I'm very happy.

Trim Not Listed in Edmund's dropdown dumbown. 2LT (running boards, rack, e-options), 2.2l Flexfuel Automatic, (not edmdumb's M5 dropdown). E85 fuel boosts power/performance, but mpg lags from regular. 89 octane is best, or blended at 20%. I bought this GM Certified from a Dealership; formerly a Hertz rental with 14K miles on it. Nimble, economical, safe, versatile 'retro' 2wd wagon. Low profile tires, average ride quality, good handling FWD. OK handling in snow; very low first gear; great for slow trawling in traffic. Removed rear headrests for better rear view; narrow view and limited rear wiper clearing. 2LT has OnStar, Bluetooth, Sirius radio, on-board plug-ins, compass, temp. With front passenger seat folded forward and rear seats down, a flat-space sleeper. Could use a sunroof- outside vents let in heated air off hood. Located a factory hard-plastic rear privacy cover in scrapyard. Secure, but spare "donut" and jack, etc. buried under cargo storage tray(s) in rear. Headlight bulb replacement is a technical task. If the battery dies, no access to battery under the rear cargo deck (electric rear hatch release). Under hood there's a module for charging to open rear door. Replaced trans fluid at 95K, not a DYI; a performance boost! There is a very comprehensive HHR blog space. Ongoing issues with electronic dash system; "air bag service". Replaced key fob and "ESC service" light closed. Approaching 110 K miles, replaced suspension components/tires; performance still very good with 21/27/23 mpg.

I had a rental HHR LS for one month. It had 600 miles on it with a 26.3 mpg. I turned it in with 1650 miles with a 27.7 mpg. It was peppy,fun and easy to drive. I was never fond of small vehicles but the HHR changed my views. I had plenty of leg room, seats were comfortable. My wife loved driving it.Perfect for groceries, parking at the mall. I plan on buying one next year.

2010 Chevrolet HHR SS 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
Traded in my Ford Flex for the HHR SS and I am very happy with it. I went for the SS due to the power and handling package but ended up putting on the Turbo Upgrade and WOW. The HHR handles likes a sports car, gets really good mpg, has plenty of passing power and is very comfortable to drive. The bluetooth wireless is every bit as good as Ford Sync but their radio quality is not the greatest. Overall the HHR SS is the best model in its class out of the ones I had driven including Mazda and Mitsubishi.
Is it a Wagon, or SUV?

Instant acceleration even with the automatic. SS seats are very comfortable, with an excellent Pioneer sound system!This year they moved the turbo gauge to the middle of the top of the dashboard which use to be a storage compartment for the Super Sport line. Very easy ingress and egress.
