Overview & Reviews

More safety features come standard on all models of the 2009 Chevrolet HHR, including ABS, stability control and side curtain airbags. The 2.2-liter and 2.4-liter engines can now run on E85, and the turbocharged SS model is available in the rear-windowless Panel body style. And although the in-dash six-CD changer is no longer offered, the base stereo system now includes satellite radio and MP3 playback. Bluetooth connectivity is also available.

• Comfortable ride, capable cargo hauling, distinctive design, SS model is a spirited performer.

• Lackluster handling and braking from non-SS models, some cheesy interior trim.

  Fun to drive, its a gas - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By Linda - September 25 - 2:00 am

  We couldnt be happier with our HHR. Great fun to drive and it looks wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone. Its the perfect "dog" car. One of our friends told us that and he was right. We have 2 rescued greyhounds and it is perfect for them. They have plenty of room with the back seats down. We did not have to give up the fuel economy for the extra room we needed. It is a perfect fit for us!

  Dont Buy From Hare Chevrolet Indiana - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By rustychevy - September 21 - 2:00 am

  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, dont like the dealership. Again the dealership is Hare Chevrolet Noblesville, Indiana

  Zippy - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By 4Ransom - September 15 - 2:00 am

  I bought my HHR LT in August of 2010. When I saw it on the lot I didnt give it a 2nd look, but after test driving it, it was a fun car to drive. Ive had it about a month and have found it to be a roomy, zippy, fun car to drive. I never wouldve seen myself in an HHR, but I really like it.

  Nice Car, really!! 2.4 auto flexfuel - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By Dean - September 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought a rental car with 8200 miles. Fuel mileage is not terrific (18-21 on E85)(45 with my vw bug diesel), but well built, and handles well with proper tire inflation. Light switch has odd quirk (goes off when bright to dim and dim to bright for split second). Torque steer when accelerating is startling (hang on). I like the storage in the middle of the dash, but not a whole lot of storage around the driver is available. The small windshield takes a little getting used to. I wish the adjustment on the steering wheel was greater.This car would be great with a dash like a Peterbilt (straight dash with lots of gauges). Long trips are very nice, however more cupholders would be nice.

  Love it! - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By Marilyn - August 30 - 3:48 pm

  I love my new HHR! Ive had it a month, put 1000 highway miles on it and I couldnt ask for better performance. Its zippy, economical, comfortable and roomy! Thanks, Chevy for a great little car!

  Great census ride - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By dowannabe - August 2 - 1:14 pm

  It has been exactly 1 year with my ride, hate the name hhr but love the ride, this baby took me down some dirt and Grass roads to find deer camps and other nonexistent buildings, it handled every situation with control including some deep mud, and deep ruts, my husband has pointed out a few scratches from driving through bushes, car was great, onstar phone was also a blessing to know it was there with cell phone not having coverage. 2 months with 8 hour a day driving I got to know this car, the last week I noticed it a little sluggish at accelerating. may have dust in air cleaner, gotta get it checked out, no other problems, great back area for my big dog and for hauling auction goodies.

  Nice Ride! - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By Bob Dibble - August 1 - 3:50 am

  After my first initial test drive, I was hooked! Great performance from the 2.4 172 horsepower. Drove to Reno and back with 3 adults, 2 golf sets, 7 bowling balls and 2 pieces of luggage. The ride exceeded any other vehicle I owned and the gas mileage very nice. I cruised any where from 70 to 80 miles per hour with great ease and comfort. I know some complain about the breaks, however, most cars I ride in have the "squeaky" noise about them. My brakes work just fine. Oil changes are a snap and no problems so far with anything on the vehicle. I am 5,4" and this car fits me perfect. I would hope team Chevy would add a 6 cyl. In the near future. I rate it a 9 out of 10 for over all!

  Great Value - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By derbs24 - July 20 - 7:46 am

  Have the 2lt 2.4 auto great car, traded in my 4 door ram hemi and have no regrets. Great mileage, 22avg on e85,30 mpg avg on regular. Have gotten 32 mpg avg at 75 mph with the a/c on. Lots of room for 4 people and luggage, pulls a small trailer for a dirt bike/lawn mower. Fun to drive, oil changes are breeze. Cheaper quality, lots of plastic. I paid $18,000 on a $24,000 sticker though so cant complain. Good looking little gas save with lots of room. Chose this over the Kia soul due to room/mileage.

  Great for the Tall and Small - 2009 Chevrolet HHR
  By Kristie - June 18 - 11:45 am

  Love this vehicle. Cargo capacity is wonderful! Both my boyfriend and I can drive this vehicle (hes 63" and Im 410"). Fits 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 kids. We love being able to go places with our friends and our dog without worrying about space. Love the rear cargo design with the adjustable floor. Great on gas! Thinking about getting another when our 2nd car goes.
