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.

  Really like our HHR - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By jandrwedd - September 23 - 9:20 am

  We were looking for an energy efficient car, but at 72 years old, wanted one with higher seats, auto, dark tinted windows, and something a little different than a small car. We are very satisfied with our HHR and the price we paid. The mileage is better than advertised. We get 34 on a trip.

  HHR after 1 week of ownership - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Woody68RS - August 19 - 6:36 pm

  Our inital reaction is one of total satisfaction. Performance and economy are much better than even we expected. Avg after 2 tanks of fuel is 27mpg, and we have avgd 40mpg on the highway twice! The design while similar to the PT is different enough that it turns peoples heads. Ride quality is excellent, and exterior noise is virtually non existent inside. I recommend taking one home for a 24 hour test drive. If this is the size vehicle youre looking for, youll never want to take it back to the dealer.

  Id love to buy another! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By TOPSK9Trainer - August 15 - 1:06 pm

  I bought my HHR in 05 and have had no problems with it at all. Not one, and all I have to say is, Im hooked. This car is a keeper in my book. I hope it continues to satisfy and suprise for many years to come. I recommended this vehicle to many people I know, and so far, maybe 6 out of 10 have bought themselves their own HHRs and have a shared opinion. Thanks Chevrolet, you wont hear me say that twice, but I like this car and look forward to a turbo kit in the future!

  Lil but mighty Chevy - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By HHR Automatic - August 11 - 10:03 am

  Only had it 3 days when left on a trip to the California Mts. Had 3 adults and our gear for 12 days. Never missed a beat on the freeways or at high altitudes above 10000 feet. Very comfortable and fun to drive. Average mileage 27.8 mpg. Held speed with cruise on with no effort. XM radio a real treat. Runs stronger with additional miles on it.

  New Vehicle - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By T Coats - August 7 - 2:30 am

  Just purchased 2 weeks ago and I love this car! The 1949 Retro look and the chopped roof set off this little beauty. Good pep for a 172 HP 4 Cylinder. Over all looks inside and out satified the want for a antique car. I have a 1962 Impala I am considering selling because I have my antique car in the HHR.

  HHR is fun and economical - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Todd McGonagle - July 29 - 4:33 am

  This is the first new car I have ever had and Im glad I bought one. It has plenty of space inside. It has a fun retro classic look. It gets all the mileage it claims to get, and even more if you drive slower than 65 on level ground. The automatic transmission is responsive and the little 4 banger is plenty of power for this car. If the engine were bigger it obviously wouldnt get that all important 30 MPG! For an inexpensive vehicle, I cant say enough positive things about it. I highly recommend the HHR if you like the utility of wagons, coupled with a car based body style. I hope Chevrolet will offer a 2 door panel delivery version of this car in the future.

  Much more than a PT Cruiser - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Keith - July 16 - 9:03 pm

  When I first looked at the HHR, I immediately drew a comparison between it and Chryslers PT Cruiser. However, a retro wagon appearance is all they share. The HHR is towable 4 wheels down in an automatic, the PT is not. And although they have similar cargo room (about 65 cu ft., the seats need to be removed from the PT to accomplish this where in the HHR, they fold flat. Additionally, many items, like A/C and cruise control are options on the base model PT, but standard in the HHR LS. Finally, with a larger fuel tank & better fuel economy (23/30 vice 21/26 for PT with an automatic) I will be stopping less often to fill up. So the HHR is not a copy, but an upgrade from the PT Cruiser.

  Fun Buggy - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By mmjsucocks - July 11 - 9:06 pm

  I just bought my HHR and I love it. I cant keep out of it! It is a LT with a 2.2 5 speed manual. It has lots of get up and go. I bought the car from a dealer about 200 miles away from my house and drove it home and it got a average of 35 mpg! The best thing is that I got it for around $16,500. Why buy Japanese when you can buy American and feel good about it.

  Love my HHR - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Lucy - July 11 - 9:40 am

  I have owned my HHR for 4 weeks now. It is a lot of fun to drive. I have had many complements on it. I like the retro styling. I traded in my 2001 PT Cruiser for this car. My HHR is more comfortable to ride in especially on long trips. My husband didnt like to drive the Cruiser but boy does he like to drive my HHR.
