2008 Chevrolet HHR User Reviews

One Of The Best — Over the years I have owned and drivin full sized trucks, suv's, and cars, including classic -powerful muscle automobiles. If it's domestic, I've probably driven / owned it. The HHR Panel model is hands down one of the best cars I've ever owned. I travel for work (need to haul supplies everyday), where SAFTEY, dependibility, storage, and great gas mileage are a MUST. This wagon has far exceeded my expectations. Not only does it deliver everything I ask, IT IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE! With more than enough get up and go, for the highway, or aggressive traffic situations. 2 lane highways @ 55 mph she gets 34 avg mpg. With interstate driving at 70 mph is around 29. That is impressive with a load of about 800 lbs. (Maximum load limit is 900 lbs). When I say STABLE SUSPENSION this is why...** Rear suspension has independent torque arms (Not coil springs that sag over time) - the bonus here is you can load the back any way you want, and needent worry about having the weight evenly distributed, because the torque arms automatically compensate! These are solid - well built cars. It will be a very sad day indeed, when I'm forced to buy something different. THE HHR PANEL IS A PERFECT FIT ! I liked it so much I bought another one!

Best Used Car Value For Vehicle Class — for two years had just our 350z and jaguar s to drive and use but interior room, fuel economy always just become to much of problem as well as needing a vehicle to go fishing with that i am not afraid of taking on mountain dirt roads. checked many vehicles found this one to have rated good quality, good mpg and best of all a low price for a good used one with very low miles. ours an 08' had 40k when purchased and paid less than 9k. the ride is very good, seats for 6'2" me, is great. it turns sharper, smaller radius than even my Z which was surprising. room is awesome, you can not only fold down the rear seats but also the front passenger. there is also a very large rear floor compartment too. i can't speak to the stock brakes as i always replace brakes of any vehicle i get w/ceramics but that said ours work just fine. on roads going 55 mph we get 40 mpg and in the city on avg 32 mpg. i was very surprised with the get up and go from the little 4 banger. from the top of the off ramp to the bottom it can easily merge with traffic, capable of 0-80 mph in that short distance. it is front wheel drive and does well on snow and ice. standard options even on the LS are many, pwr windows, tilt, cruise, pwr seats, pwr mirrors, air, etc. build quality isn't up to nissan stds let alone jaguar but still good especially when one considers the price paid. we have had absolutely no issues in the past year and half of owning it and highly recommend it to anyone who wants, needs a good all around vehicle that is priced below that of much of the competition.

Hhr — good car if your not a tall preson, the driver seating is tight for a person 6ft or taller, the driver information center is realy nice and can be customized for your personal tast. I like the feature that you can turn off the horn when locking the car.
