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.

  • Way to go Chevy!!! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR

    Can hardly believe it, but Chevy definitely got it right this time. The HHR is by one of the hottest and should become one of the most customized vehicles out there. Just got my Sport Red Metallic 2LT with all the bells and whistles and I am very happy with this car. The one thing I did though was to replace the rear speakers with a better aftermarket Memphis 6.5 speaker. Much better response and sound than the factory. Waiting to see what gas mileage will be. First tank about 26.5. Second tank 29.8 with about the same roads covered. Everyone who has seen this car so far has said what a cool look and way better than the PT Cruiser. It has a much bolder stance and a beautiful retro look!!!

    We purchased our HHR on sight after 1st seeing it on the lot. The style & head room inside, and fuel mileage were our 1st reasons to buy. The interior is well designed. We are getting 24mpg driving in town. Recommend a rubber mat in rear to keep cargo from sliding in rear cargo area. Handling on road is very good.We have not had the option to take a long trip yet but will do so soon.

  • HHR-Fun to Drive and Solid Too - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    I was attracted to the look of the vehicle and its impressive mpg rating (30 hwy). I have been totally won over by the fun of driving, the solid feel and the attention to detail. I have received many compliments. The vehicle is surprisingly roomy. It is a little odd to have the window controls behind the floor shifter, but that is not a big deal. I purchased the 1LT version with upgrades to leather trimmed heated seats (important in Wisconsin). I also went for the 7 speaker Pioneer sound system. Coupled with the XM radio and convenient input jack for my MP3 player, this is an excellent ride.

    Great gas mileage. The seating is excellent for me. Im in an upright position, and feel very comfortable. The car looks awesome, and I have to say that I have not experienced one problem since I purchased it 7 thousand miles ago. I love the storage with the seats down, and even with them up, I have more than enough room. This is a great car for the money.

  • We love this car! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR

    While driving my "spring edition" victory red HHR with special body striping and highly polished wheels I get so many looks from people that I pass. It is so fun to drive that my wife and I fight over who will drive it to work, or just on leisure drives.

    I think this is a benchmark vehicle for GM. If you close your eyes get into the car and open them the car speaks import. Think no cheap feeling plastics were so used to in GM products. And lets not gripe about location of window switches, etc. We saw those as soon as we drove the car. What I do love is the attention I get with this car--Ive been driving some 30 years and I have never gotten the compliments like I do with this car. And all of my cars have been nice.

  • General description of vehicle . - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
    By -

    This HHR is a 2nd vehicle for us. I purchased it as an inexspensive form of transportation. I purchased a manual 5 speed shift for that reason. Disapointing to note that this vehicle caused me much grief that was due to shoddy workmanship. I received a severe laceration because the seat of the vehicle was inferior.
