Overview & Reviews
The 2008 Chevrolet HHR receives minor feature updates this year. OnStar is standard across the lineup and stability control has been added as an option. Debuting later in the model year will be the HHR SS with a 260-horsepower turbocharged engine.
- Smooth and quiet ride, plenty of cargo space, attractive cabin, excellent outward visibility.
- Lackluster handling and braking, unrefined engines, some low-grade interior plastics.

So far so good - 2008 Chevrolet HHR
By bernie - April 20 - 11:33 pmAfter reading all the brake problems, i hope this will not happen to the ss. I just bought a red ss and cannot tell you how pleased I am with it. With the 260 hp eco tech turbo engine, it is a little rocket. The ss specific interior is comfortable and well designed. The 5-speed shifts firm and quick. The exterior ss specific ground effects, 18 inch wheels with speed rated tires filled with nitrogen, paint finish and door gap fit is the best Ive seen in a long time. Oh yes, the smaller steering wheel and quicker steering make this thing loads of fun to drive. It is quick. It also has larger 4-wheel disc brakes that stop great. so far happy as a clam with it.

Chevy HHR Review - 2008 Chevrolet HHR
By Awesome Car - January 26 - 7:53 pmPurchased my Chevy HHR in October 07 and Im totally pleased with this car. Went from a Subaru with a very choppy uncomfortable ride to my 08 Chevy HHR which rides smooth has great storage excellent control panel giving all the stats you would want/need. Example tire pressure, oil life, temp etc. Overall I feel this small SUV gives far more space then PT Cruiser with better styling and ride.

Itll grow on you! - 2008 Chevrolet HHR
By ted Sheldon - January 18 - 8:10 pmHave owned all sorts of cars and trucks, very easy to get comfortable. I drive a lot and I hate a vehicle that you constantly have to adjust the seat. With Gas over priced, I dont try to race light to light, I cruise a little slower than most and am got 31.5 mpg last tank (split city/hwy).

Amazing - 2008 Chevrolet HHR
By sirwillo - January 8 - 9:50 pmThe HHR has been a huge surprise. I paid 14k for a new 2008 ls. It is far suprior to other cars in its class when it comes to usablility and comfort. The most impressive part of this vehicle is how smooth and comfortable the ride is. I travel about 30k a year so I needed a vehicle that would get great gas mileage (i avg 33 on highway) and was comfortable enought to drive for 5 - 6 hours in. On top of that the storage area is awesome. Lots of space in the rear witha great changing configuration.

Great choice - 2008 Chevrolet HHR
By 98zq8 - September 10 - 9:03 pmMy 08 LS Auto is fabulous. 2.2 motor 149hp is more than adequate despite the heavy vehicle. Ride is soft as expected and comfortable. We use this as a family hauler with two kids 3 and 4. They can actually get in all by themselves unlike the large SUV guzzlers out there. This is an inexpensive, economy vehicle with some flair and modern features. The info panel is fantastic and interior versatility is top notch. GM is offering the goods to the lower price buyers for a change, not just the monster SUV crowd. Interior quality is better than expected for price and segment. I think it looks more premium than the msrp commanded. Replacement parts are inexpensive too (brakes, rotors,etc)

Forget the other models.....get the SS! - 2008 Chevrolet HHR
By drstein1977 - April 3 - 10:50 amI just bought this car last week, SS models are hard to come by. I have to say I am glad I didnt get the 2lt, this thing blows away the other HHRs I test drove. I have the automatic so theres less HP but the design and features on this thing are second to none. No turbo lag and this thing hugs corners as well as my 2000 Trans AM WS6! Definitely a good family car with a very sporty edge! Two tone interior is nice. Extra options I bought: 7speaker pioneer system, sunroof, XM radio, and other cool stuff. Definitely get the SS!
