Good First Car Or Small Family Car — i don't like the four cylinder engine kinda sad on the performance side but it looks great its no Ferrari at all but it looks pretty sweet. the best part is that you can take turns at like 100 kph

Stick Shift Sucks in Traffic

My Ride — A great sized vehicle, holds 4 adults comfortably. Gets great gas mileage, and has good pickup when accelerating. Great big space in the back for carrying things, passenger seat folds down flat for an extra long item. 100,000 mile warrenty.

My Hhr — Great gas mileage, lots of room for my gear and tools, but GUTLESS! That's what you get for a commuter car. It is kind of eyecatching, so I think more people see the window lettering. The kids like it too.

Hhr — Great front and rear headroom and legroom. Averages 28MPG with mostly stop- and-go commute driving. Handy extra glove box front and center on the dashboard. Included input jack for MP3 players. Lots of room behind the rear seat for storage and hauling. Interesting retro look, if you are into that.

2008 Chevrolet Hhr 1lt — It has half the motor as my previous vehicle, thus, half the performance, but twice the fuel economy. Can't beat it at the pump, a tank of gas lasts twice as long. Touring suspension holds its own, even with crappy firestone tires dealer left a shipload of scratches and dings.

Best buy for your dollar, comfort, eco efficient, looks retro cool

Cons

None yet just don't want it to get old.  Maybe a small console would be nice but it doesn't really matter.

Well Built — I love the way the car handles and how it is good on gas. It has a low looking profile however your sit high. The HHR is a good choice for the dollar. When I am driving my car I am having a great time. I would recomend the HHR to all of my friends.

Cool, Retro, Economical, Clean Body Style, Great Options, Great Warranty, and Very Cool

Cons

Some Parts and Accessories are a bit Pricy

Hhr Panel — I was searching for a Panel because it is just me and my dog Bruce and we don't need 4 seats, and I would like somthing that can carry a little cargo and be able to lock it up or keep it out of the weather if needed unlike a truck. I was contemplating either a Scion Xb or a PT Cruiser but neither had a panel. Then I saw an HHR Panel on the freeway...cool! I was not that impressed with the window model but the panel just looks clean (and retro)...very cool. Oh did I mention 30mpg! (added bonus)

2008 Chevrolet Hhr Ss — I really enjoy my HHR Super Sport. It's a bargain of a car and has great performance while still getting good gas mileage. I'm really impressed with the great utility and nice interior. The exterior of this car makes the mouth water. So much classic Chevy yet modern lines make this car a head-turner. The HHR SS is an affordable, stylish, and fun to drive vehicle. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sports car, but still needs utility.
