Overview & Reviews

The HHR is an all-new compact wagon based on the Cobalt platform. Its retro styling is a throwback to the '49 Suburban.

• Smooth and quiet ride, lots of cargo space, attractive interior, excellent visibility, versatile sound system.

• Weak brakes, sloppy handling, engines lack low-end pull and refinement, tight shoulder room, out-of-reach window buttons, some cheap plastics.

  Style to Spare! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Deborah - April 19 - 3:26 pm

  Ive only had this car for a month - but everyday Im so impressed with it. I went from an SUV to the HHR - and it only took a few days to become used to the front wheel drive and lower profile. Its fun to drive - lots of pickup despite the 4 cyl motor. Lots of room on the inside - only complaint is the placement of the armrest - a little out of place. Nice in dash storage, and plenty of room for supplies under the back cover above the spare tire. Stereo booms - and has easy to use controls. I was surprised with all the extras on the LS - power everything - its a lot of car for the money - so very happy - and it just looks hot to drive! Lots of looks and questions!

  Close to perfect HHR - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Heart Lady - April 5 - 8:30 am

  Upgraded 2.4L has plenty of power. The 17" wheels give excellent cornering ability. Plenty of cargo space for its size. Slightly disappointed that I only average 28 mpg compared to 33 mpg with my other full size car with a V-6.

  Wow, Neat Car - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Brian - February 13 - 8:56 am

  Bought this car July 4th 2006. Bought the LT Summit White(wow it really is BRIGHT)pretty much loaded out. The OnStar is a big deal for the wife and kids and the XM is awesome. The steering is unbelievable, you can almost turn circle in a normal 2 lane road with no problem. Only bad thing is I dont get to drive it, the wife has taken over.

  No other car for me - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Lonnie - February 8 - 11:36 pm

  I was able to drive this vehicle last summer when they had just come on the market in California, Since then I hav studied these cars and compared them, I have found that there is not another vehicle out there that compares in price, comfort and ability to facitlitate all the needs I really needed in a car, I have short and very tall family members who range from five foot two to six foot three and everyone fits comfortably. The gas mileage and power are perfect too. I received weekly updates from Chevy on this car and I must say saftey and comfort for my family is number one and I definitely have found it here in this vehicle. Drive one one and you will see exactly what I mean.

  Ignore the "Experts"...... - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By ron forneris - January 29 - 9:26 pm

  Purchased my HHR last month in spite of the "expert" reviews. One consumer review I read said to ignore the reviews and buy the car.......I agree. No "vague steering", weak braking or any of the other complaints voiced by the pros. Great fuel economy and acceptable power......Im sure a turbo will be forthcoming. Ive owned a PT Cruiser and this is far superior.......the stereo is amazing for any price vehicle. Didnt expect that/pleasant surprise. Im a retired cop.......Ive taken and taught pursuit driving courses and defensive driving classes......this car is a winner and is well worth a look if youre shopping in this price range.

  What a great fun car! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Lauri Camplese - November 22 - 7:13 pm

  I bought my HHR last year, and love everything about it. It is great on gas, and has a lot of room to haul things around. I bought it since I have 2 kids that play soccer, and it was voted the safest car on the road, in fact my insurance went down over $600 for the year! If that isnt reason enough to buy it then let me add that it is comfortable and roomy on the inside. The outside style is awesome, I love when people stop me in parking lots to ask me about the performance and things like that. Trust me, I would not want to drive anything else.

  Hubbys Heritage Roadster - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Hubbys Heratige Roa - October 26 - 7:56 pm

  After searching for the HHR we wanted, we ordered a Sunburst Orange 1LT.We picked it up earlier than the projected delivery date. Love driving the sporty, retro, head turning, car. It is much more comfortable then the previous car, a Cavalier and the mileage is comparable to the Cavalier; 27/28mpg everyday driving. Would love to see what it does on a road trip. It drives great, is peppy and roomy. Hubby loves the retro Suburban design. (So do I) He has added gold metallic stripes and blue dots in the tail lights.

  My HHR - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Harlene - October 1 - 12:26 am

  I love the *driveability* of my new HHR. I have never had a car that drives so easy. You would have to drive one to understand what I am saying. I drive it every day to work and fall in love with it all over again. There is plenty of room and you do not feel squashed into a small car. The fuel mileage is what you would expect from a smaller car. I get 24 miles pr gal around town and 33 open highway. I cant say enough about this new car except....Thanks General Motors

  Wonderful Car to have in the household. - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Cindy - September 18 - 8:03 am

  I test drive many cars before choosing the HHR. I had another brand on order to purchase. But after trying out the HHR I just love driving it. It make me feel as if I am driving a Benz. Thanks to the maker of the HHR.
