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.

  Towable - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By rbowen - July 27 - 4:13 am

  Its towable and moderate weight for towing. The towbar fits nicely with no body modification, just fasten the bolts onto the frame. With the seats down, it can convert to a cargo carrier. Dont have very many miles, as yet, but what I have, Im impressed!

  HHR 2006 LT - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Jesse - July 26 - 1:06 am

  We fell in love when we saw it on the internet.The first Chevy dealer we went to knew nothing about the HHR and told us they were new and that was about it.We decided to go to a different dealership. Walked onto the lot and found our beautiful HHR just off the truck, We could hardly wait to get it home.Ours has all the bells and whistle and we purchased a Lo-jack .added mud flaps and a bra.We took it on vacation and had a blast. People asked to sit in it and were amazde at the room it has.We have had it since 2/06 with only one problem with the power booster on the breaks.We are considering buying another HHR in the future,

  Smooth ride - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By WCS_in_SM - July 22 - 8:53 pm

  The 2006 HHR LT has a smooth ride and is comfortable for driver and passenger on long freeway trips. We have leather with electric driver seat. Seat heaters are nice in winter, even in So. Cal. Ours needed a $1,100 oil cooler repair at 70,000 miles. Stereo works well. Odd placement of cup holders and window controls.

  Very smooth quiet ride,fit and finish very good for a G.M. car, lots of cargo space, great electronics, attractive retro design, recommend the 2LT version, which has bigger engine,stiffer suspension,and other goodies such as automatic with ABS and traction control. Also recommend larger 17 wheels with performance tires and leather seating. Cons, as the New York Times point out, needs a little more power at low end and better corning performance.They also did not like the brakes,but they seem good to me. Also power windows located in an inconvient section in front of gear shift and do not light up at night making them hard to find.All and all a neat little car that is wonderful on the road!

  Our HHR - Great Car! - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Dave - July 7 - 5:56 am

  It was my wifes decision to buy this car. She purchased the 2006 Red Spring Edition package. As we also have a Trailblazer, I felt that she could have the HHR and Id keep driving the TB. Ive never been able to convince myself that I could get by with 4 cylinders having grown up in the muscle car age group. But, weve parked the TB in the garage and have driven the HHR 99% of the time! I was wrong about owning a 4 banger as this car has proven to me time and time again. Dont settle for the 2.2 engine, to sluggish! Buy the 2.4 with 175hp! It is quite zippy! Our HHR still has people turning their heads when we drive by and others stop us to ask questions about it. Buy one! Youll like it!

  Came back home - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By cubbie - June 30 - 12:00 pm

  I have gotten nothing but compliments about my HHR. Being a Car Guy, I had been looking for an old car to restore. Didnt have to. I found the old style I was looking for in a brand new (had to be black) HHR. Once I test drove it, knew that I had to have one. Was disappointed when the one I was originally looking at got sold from under me. Got the next one off the truck (literally). I heard at the dealership that a lot of PT Cruiser owners were trading in their cars for new HHRs. I dont blame them. Thank you Chevrolet for thinking a little out of the box.

  A Blast to Drive - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Jake D - May 26 - 4:02 pm

  Recently bought my 2006 2LT and almost immediately took it on a 2,000 mile road trip. I highly recommend springing the extra $$$ for a LT w/sunroof. First, this vehicle is a blast to drive it took the switchbacks of Yosemite 20 mph over the speed limit (yes, Im bad) with no problem whatsoever. Fuel economy on the trip, which involve A LOT of mountain roads between CA and OR was 28.8mpg The negatives: I really dont mind the cup holders that others mention, but I do not like the type and quality of the materials used in the interior, pretty much all hard/cheap plastics, not worthy of this car. Im also already having to take it in to have the brakes looked at. Love this vehicle though.

  My Mob Car - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By Jessica - May 20 - 10:16 am

  We love this car. The design reminds me of the old style mob car and we get several looks and compliments whenever we are out. It runs wonderfully and the gas mileage is really good. We are getting about 30 miles a gallon. The inside is perfect for just going out and running errands, but is also great for hauling and the back trunk is perfect for traveling with your dog. I would recommend this car to anyone that is interested in it.

  Black HHR-LT - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By mihhr - May 13 - 11:10 pm

  Great choice for a light utility hauler. Gets lots of notice/approval from other drivers. Its a fun little wagon. I transport boxes of training materials, projector screens, and other odd size cargo. The HHR is exactly what I need.

  This is why I always end up with a GM - 2006 Chevrolet HHR
  By CanadaEh? - May 8 - 3:13 am

  Ive owned since June 2006. I drive approx 40,000km a year in an almost equal mix of city/highway and average about 8.1L/100KM or 28.9MPG which is fantastic. On the highway, cruise set to 110km/hr I get about 34MPG and consistently over 840km to a tank. The most Ive seen is 890. My car is the top level 2LT with all available options except OnStar. The 2.4L is really smooth, dont feel any vibration at idle or at traffic lights. It has a great MP3 player with Pioneer sound thats loud and clear, and is so technologically advanced. The driver info center is all configurable and programmable to your language and tastes. Remote start is great! So are the very warm heated seats.
