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.

Lets Be Real Americans. - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By Debbie L Gamm - February 15 - 7:53 amWe have purchased and are enjoying our new HHR LT. We love the room and handling. Leather interior and heated seats are a plus.

No More PT Cruiser - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By Paul - February 10 - 8:20 amI bought my wife an LT HHR with the 2.4 Liter and Automatic Transmission 2 days ago, trading in her 2003 PT Cruiser Limited. I cant believe the difference in the 2 cars. Chrysler should be very worried. If more PT owners test drive this car, there will be too many PTs on the used car market to count. Dont get me wrong, we loved the PT, but the HHR is so much more refined. The first thing I noticed was the lack of road noise. We can hear the stereo and carry on a normal conversation at highway speed! Turning radius is great, it is so much easier to park. The transmission is smoother, and the engine is more powerful. This car is so fun to drive, I find myself finding reasons to drive it.

Good for the Price - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By K Chandler - February 6 - 3:46 amThis is a nice, cheap alternative to a very small SUV. Good gas mileage, cheap insurance, and room to store stuff when you fold down the seat. I did have to take back to the dealer to get work done on brake rotors at only 5000 miles though, seems fine now. The gearing in the automatic is very high though, so it seems a bit sluggish unless you really punch the gas, but when you do the engine gets very noisy at high RPMs, much more so than many other 4 cylinder cars out there. This car woudl really benefit from a 5 speed automatic. Great car for the money though, as long as you dont expect the highest refinement or a silky smooth engine for the price.

You love it or hate it - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By christopher - January 28 - 12:10 amFun to drive. Everyone asks what it is and I love telling them. I wanted a car with fenders and this had it. I like the PT Cruiser but it was way too small. This is everything I wanted and needed!

GM is making a come back - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By Doug - December 16 - 11:33 pmMy wife and I have traditionally purchased foreign cars, but she saw a picture of the HHR and was interested. We test drove it and were very impressed. Ride and handling are excellent, surprisingly quiet vehicle, suprisingly comfortable seats. Interior is well laid out with lots of storage space. Retro appearance is kind of fun, but it was the value that sold us. We bought the base model and didnt add any options because it didnt need any in our opinion, the base model is very well equipped. We just took it on our first road trip, it was a pleasure to drive. If GM can continue to put out vehicles like this they may be on the way back.

Style and so much more - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By marie - October 18 - 6:06 pmWe have had our HHR for a month, and its great! We traded our mini van because of terrible gas mileage. My husband had a PT when we got married, traded it for a Chevy Avalanche, then came the mini van! We wanted to get something with style and good gas mileage,these two things usually do not go together! But the HHR is the best of both worlds! Right now with only 700 miles we are getting around 26mpg(town & country roads),compared to 15mpg in the van. Price was great too ($14,900) LS model, which comes with many extras for a base model! Only complaint so far is the amount of storage in front area, this is a big pain! But a small price to pay for great gas mileage and great style!

You Gotta Love It - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By HHRfersure - September 25 - 6:40 amAdmittedly, My wife and I have had this vehicle for less than a week, but she fell in love with it the minute she saw it. And I started appreciating it when I drove it and realized how truly comfortable and spacious it is, given its size, coupled with its affordable price and standard equipment. Ours is the 1LT with the larger 2.4L DOHC engine. It handles great and the gas mileage should far exceed the Trailblazer we traded (and both hated to part with) Chevy did it right this time. The ride is stable and quiet and it is fun to drive. It also has plenty of pick up for what well need it for. It does turn heads.

06 not bad - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By Ken - September 18 - 4:33 amI always like the HHRs but hate PT cruisers. I could not pass up this deal a 06 for $13000. Even through the door molding could be a little better and not so cheesy Im very happy with the car. The visability is very different but not impossible with minor adjustments to how you use vision for everyday driving. Overall very happy and glad I got it.

Easy To Drive - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
By Little Red Head Girl - September 16 - 12:30 pmAt first, when I saw this car, I wasnt happy with the design but when I test drove it at the dealership, I was sold. The turning radius is wonderful, It parks easilly, is fun to drive, and is roomy for even short or tall people.
