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.

  From Large to small - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By gold7 - July 30 - 8:00 pm

  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!

  Wind / Road Noise - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Tom Swanson - July 4 - 5:30 am

  My car gets 20 mpg in town driving and 30 mpg highway. I have had it 6 months. It accelerates quickly enough to get on freeways safely. The heated seats need to be re-designed so more of the seating surface gets warm. The only complaint I have is about wind & road noise, especially at highway speeds, the noise sounds like a window is not completely shut, especially on passenger side, between the front & rear door. This appears to be the result of a design flaw. There is only one rubber seal around the front doors, & if there were two, like on the rear doors, I think the problem would not exist.

  Fun car for the money - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Sharon - June 19 - 6:30 pm

  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.

  Retro is in - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Harry - June 17 - 7:40 am

  It took a month of looking to find the car. In late 2005 they were hard to get. Great styling, its boxy shape and fenders remind one of the old gangster cars. Very roomy inside considering the external dimensions of the vehicle. It fits in narrow parking spaces and has a lot of cargo room with the rear seat folded down.

  Just Got My HHR as a Compnay Car! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Hughesjay - June 15 - 6:10 am

  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 Guido - June 7 - 3:43 pm

  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.

  A lot of fun in a small package - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By ssdriver - June 7 - 3:30 am

  While we purchased this vehicle for my wife to use, I find myself using it every opportunity I get. The driving position is quite confortable, the front seats accomodate my 62" large frame and due to the upright sitting position I can move the seat forward quite a bit without compromising my driving comfort. My only complaints are reduced visablity looking over my left hand shoulder, the lack of a center console, the power window positions and the lack of low end umph in the 2.4 litre motor, but then again Im used to the 5.7 litre V8 in my 95 Impala SS. Overall its a great car for the value and the styling is always refreshing to see. The sunburst orange metallic is easy to find

  Chevy Comes So Close - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Bill - May 29 - 9:06 am

  Never owned a Chevy before buying the HHR but the looks of this caught my eye when the first "spy shots" were posted on the web. Really a great car for the money. I bought a 2LT with pretty much every available option and the car has not disappointed me at all. The acceleration is better than I anticipated and my wife loves the heated leather seats. Now well see how it fills the bill for tailgating this Saturday. If Chevy had just put more thought into the placement of the cupholders, spent a few dollars more on the power window switches by placing them on the door where they belong Id have no real complaints.

  A Great Car - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By new owner - May 22 - 2:33 pm

  I love this car! Have had it for 3 months and drive it 90 miles back and forth to work every day. The retro styling is really cool. I have the chrome package which adds a nice touch as well. It is fun to drive and I average about 30 miles per gallon. I dont mind the window buttons on the center console as I havent had power windows before, so I am not used to them being on the door. At first the roof light that shines on the center console bothered me, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

  Hooray! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Zumboot - May 9 - 6:43 pm

  I decided on the HHR after 6 weeks of research and trying lots of small and tiny wagons. I loved the look of the HHR as soon as I saw it and knew it was the right car within minutes of my test drive. The editor reviews seem to care a lot about how fast (or slowly) the HHR can take off and its engine power, but hey, I wasnt looking for a hot- rod! Im perfectly happy with its power, and love the handling. Its not "mushy" - I know Im driving, but the road isnt abusing me. This is a terrific family wagon that looks so, so very cool! We were concerned about it being a new model - track record, so bought an extended warranty that refunds our money if we never use it! Im happy!
