This Year's Model Updates:

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

Pros:
  • Smooth and quiet ride, lots of cargo space, attractive interior, excellent visibility, versatile sound system.
Cons:
  • Weak brakes, sloppy handling, engines lack low-end pull and refinement, tight shoulder room, out-of-reach window buttons, some cheap plastics.

  • I love my HHR - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    It is a fun and versatile car to drive. I get 31 to 33 mi/gal on the hwy and ave 28 combined hwy/city. For an encommy car it has lots of extras I didnt expect. I have the seven speaker XM radio and it sounds better than my home unit. I have had it a month and everthing has gone fine so far.

    This is a changeover vehicle for a 2005 Magnum w/Hemi that I traded in for my Sport Red Metallic HHR LT automatic. Superfluous to speak I wanted to get rid of the Gas Hog…. But this HHR has surpassed all my expectations. This HHR is totally awesome, fun to drive, eye catcher, super on gas and very peppy for a 2.2 four cylinder. I love this vehicle. There is not enough to say about it. The handling ability is fantastic! GM has done it again.

    I purchased the HHR as a work vehicle and have enjoyed it so much we drive it everywhere. Great looks and definitely turns heads. Would highly recommend this little cruiser.

  • HHR - Best car for the money!!! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    When I first saw the new HHR on Chevys website, I loved it! Once I knew they were starting to arrive at dealers, I started looking on Chevys site to locate the one I wanted. I finally found it, a 2LT in Sunburst Orange Metallic, gray leather, sunroof, roof rails, running boards, 17" high polished wheels, XM radio, 260 watt Pioneer premium sound w/ 6-disc in-dash changer. Sticker was $22,875... and what a package for the money!! Chevy hit a home run with this one! Ive put over 1,000 miles on it within the past 2 weeks!

  • Fiest HHR in Austin, Tx. - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I bought the HHR right after it hit the showroom floor. LS with 2.2L 5 speed, side airbags and ABS. The ride is outstanding and I cannot believe how well this car/truck is put together. The ride is quiet, 2.2l accelerates quite well, and it holds speed on hills, all while returning 30 MPG. Handles great on interstate and is very stable at our 70 MPH speed limits in TX. I currently have around 1700 miles on the car. If the HHR is an indication of the type of vehicle that GM will be building, then their market share should definetly turn around. Engineeing overruled the bean counters on this one.

  • What a Grin - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    It has been so many years since I have enjoyed the fun of driving. This vehicle took me back to my first driving experiences and made me feel like a kid again! It rides well, has enough power (is there ever enough?), and the grin factor is unbelievable. I actually did a cruise the first weekend we had it. The price makes it affordable, the gas mileage as painless as its going to get, and enough room and comfort to last the whole week. Chevrolet hit a homerun on the first swing at bat!

  • Just drive it to believe it - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    Love it,j ust got it on 10/01 and cant believe the quiet ride, how tight it feels, and all the goodies it has for a small car at $20,000 bucks. Got the auto and 174 horses, all the power plus 30 mpg and the review on cornering, I didnt buy an Indy car.

  • Best Car I Ever Owned - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    Went from a hog of a truck to this surprisingly sharp car. Its quick, fanc, and has nice standard features. Car alarm, auto starter.

  • My other SSR - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    It was worth the wait, I own a 2005 SSR and when I saw the HHR I just had to have the remake of the delivery wagon of years past, I was surprised with the pick-up it has, and it just has a style, its Gms better version of the PT cruser.

  • I was afraid at first, now I love it! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    My wife’s Trailblazer wasnt cutting it with her new found 90mi/day commute. We needed more then 18mpg. Her father works for GM so the discount came to mind. She loved the looks of the HHR and I have to say, I was a little leary at first. After a few months of ownership I must say I am more then pleased. Sure there are things that could be better, but for a car in this price range, its tough to beat. Offers plenty of features...everything but NAV and HIDs are available...plenty of room for my wife, my 2month old and me! Right now we are seeing 31mpg hwy and 27 city. Easy to monitor when our commutes are all highway miles.
