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.

  • 3 weeks - 2006 Chevrolet HHR

    What a great car, mine is an LT1 with the auto 2.4. So far 25 MPG city 32 HWY. This thing simply rides like a large car, smooth and quiet. I took a PT for a test drive and its not in the same class as the HHR. Mine cost $17600 MSRP was $19500, for this price its a super car. Dont pay more than $18500 for an HHR if you do you got ripped off. The 3 dealers I went to in Omaha all dropped the MSRP by at least $1500. Sure I had to order it, but it only took 7 weeks. IMHO the $21000-$24000 HHRs are a huge waste of money.

  • Great Family SUV - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    My LS is Black with XM-radio and Pioneer stereo. Had to get it ordered cause we couldnt find any LS models at dealership. Great family SUV, enough room for our kids and cargo room as well. Great handling as well. Traded our Neon for this HHR and love it.

  • So far, the best car Ive owned. - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    Although Ive only had this car for about three months, I have really grown to like it very much. It is a fun car to drive. It handles very well, is comfortable to ride in, has a great sound system, and rides very well, with no rattles or squeaks. I bought this car to tow behind a motorhome, and it is equally well suited for that task as well. I was always a Ford man for years, but when I saw photos of this vehicle when it came out, I just had to have one, and when I took it for a test drive, I was convinced, for sure.

  • A Great Car from Chevrolet - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I had a Trailblazer and was concerned about downsizing, especially in the power area. But to my surprise the HHR has all the power I need to move in and out of freeway traffic, climb steep grades and just cruise. This is a fun vehicle to drive, not to mention the looks and questions I get. Excellent gas mileage over 25 in the city and over 30 on the highway. No regrets. If the HHR is upgraded to AWD and turbo, I will be trading again!!

    Im well pleased with this vehicle. Fuel economy is great & the ability to use nearly the entire length of the vehicle to haul cargo beats the PT Crusier hands down. Vehicle controls are within easy reach and its a real pleasure to drive. Fit & finish on my vehicle were great. Ample storage throughout.

  • Oh yeah!! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR

    I have had my HHR for about a week now and have put over 500 miles on it. It is great. The ride is smooth and it handles like a charm. The interior is comfortable even for a big guy like me. It has side air bags front and back, which is a great feature.

  • From Large to small - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I went from a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor AWD to the smaller HHR and was unsure that I could adjust to the smaller size and style, but I was wrong. This is a fantastic little vehicle. Snappy, quick response, with a great array of electronic features. Im getting about 28 miles per gallon in city and 33 hwy. Its made well, with solid construction and plenty of room for a smaller wagon style. Plus the styling blows away the PT Cruiser! Recommend to all that are looking for a really neat roomy concept style vehicle!

  • Fun car for the money - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I bought this car because I wanted something with a hatchback for carrying around the dog and our sons sports equipment, plus I wanted something that would get decent gas mileage. This car works great for both. I got the upgraded engine - 177 hp, which is zippy enough to get you around in traffic. It is quiet at high speeds (70 mph) and is responsive with its steering. Good car for the money! Ive had it for three months. No problems with anything. Good headroom - even with the sunroof. a/c works great. Backseat passengers have plenty of legroom. Ive been getting 26 mpg - combo of city and highway driving, mostly city.

  • Just Got My HHR as a Compnay Car! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    So far so good I have had the HHR for just over a week, I also own a TB and an Envoy. I love it -surprised at the power from a 4 cyl. Also like the ride and its not noisy like most small vehicles you get so much for the price I would recommend to all at any age.

  • What a nice car - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I LOVE this vehicle!!! We bought this car on a whim...our Chrysler LHS (nice as it was land yacht) was on its last legs, nickeling and diming us to death. This car is exactly what we were looking for...it has the 172 HP engine, which has plenty of zip (surprisingly, I might add) for me, gets excellent gas mileage around town...about 20 MPG in Pittsburgh, dont know about the open road yet...excellent stereo...got the sunroof, remote start, heated leather seats...overall, this is probably the best AND COOLEST car Ive ever owned...people still turn their heads to look...by the way, its black with the chrome trim package.
