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.

  • My 2 Toned HHR - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I love it, hauls a load. Quick, fun to drive, handles curves, turns 180s in a tight radius. Great gas mileage, unreal looks and the ability to customize and make it one of a kind is why I bought it. On the highway I can go over 450 miles before fill up, around town over 350 miles. Nice 16 gal tank and hard to get over 14.5 gal in it on a fill up. Very quiet, too easy to go fast and probably one of the best starter family vehicles on the market. I have customized mine and have won 2- 2nd place and 3 first place trophies in 6 car shows.

  • Great Mini SUV with Style - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I love my new HHR 2LT. I have just about all the options available. Ive only been driving it for about 2 weeks at the time of this review. I only have 2 real complaints about the HHR. I do not like the power windows located in the center console. I am not used to them, and they seem awkward. They may be good placement in the winter months, so snow doesnt get in them. The other thing I dont like is the ability to flip one switch to turn on all the car dome lights from the drivers seat. Ive never seen a car without this option. I love the sporty suspension and styling.

    Ive had my HHR LT2 since July, and its been great. I got the loaded version with every option offered, and Ive been very pleased. It was relatively inexpensive, its comfortable and versatile. Im coming from a Ford Expedition, so it was a bit of an adjustment, but it works. My wife and kids had to warm up to the styling, but I love it. Im over 6 foot and I found both the front and back seats roomy and comfortable. The engine is plenty peppy for a little 4 banger, which provides a much appreciated fuel efficiency. And the leather package is pretty nice. The stereo / CD player sounds great and I love the ipod jack.

    We purchase our HHR to replace a Chevy Tahoe. The vechicle has proformed nicely and we enjoy the ride. Only problem we had with our purchase was the floor mats were not with the vehicle and after about 7 weeks we got a set of mats, but they were the wrong ones. Also the drivers mat is not designed properly to protect the carpet.

    Fun car to drive. Los of looks from others. Handles great. Nice stereo setup. Great gas mileage. Not much of a center console, but 2nd glove box built into dash is very nice. Purple color is very attractive.

    Bad placement of the window switches. You cant put the rear seats down unless you remove the head rest first or put the front seat all the way forward. Then you cant get in the car and drive it. The rear view mirror placement is too low in the windshield creating a large blind spot.

  • HHR - Better than PT Cruiser - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I have driven both the 2006 PT Cruiser and the HHR. I am not a Chevy Man by any means. Nor am I a Chryler Man either. I must truly say that the HHR fits my needs and is an all-around better car than the PT Cruiser. The Cruiser seems outdated now. There is hardly any improvements from previous models. Yet, the price keeps climbing. I am over 6 foot tall and I am very comfortable in the HHR. There are more options available on the HHR too. However, In Chrysler defense, I must admit I would like to have a turbo on my HHR. But Im sure theres a supplier working on that as we speak. I really felt cramped in the PT Cruiser in comparison to the HHR. I just think that the HHR is a better deal.

  • HHR Rules Over PT - 2006 Chevrolet HHR

    Awesome car that I think Chevrolet has outdone themselves on. Much more class than a PT Cruiser plus, its a Chevy for petes sake! More tradition, more quality and a better looking car. Great performance and interior space and styling. Have driven both a PT Cruiser and now own an HHR. Enough said! Go get one for yourself!

  • Fun In Your Fifties - 2006 Chevrolet HHR

    I have never been happier with a new vehicle. I cant believe the looks I get just driving around town. Summit White with pinstriping. Chrome package with all the upgrades on the inside. Just plain fun to drive. Economical as well as reliable. My Border Collie loves the back storage area. Shes made it her home when were out and about. Handles with unexpected precision and quickness. Just a joy to drive. Ill never go back to Jeeps again!

  • Fun Car & Great looking too! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I love this car. For those who are short (Im 5 1")I think it is great with the power seats. The smaller windows are great as well, the visor actually works for me in this car than any other car I have ever owned. Storage is wonderful, this is great to hide all those little things you would like to have in the car. The price is right for what you get.
