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.

Pros — Room, value
Cons — Styling is polarizing

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.

Pros — good fuel economy, low maintenance
Cons — performance goes with everything else when you downsize.  get used to it

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.

Pros — 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.

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.

Pros — Looks hot, nice interior, great performance
Cons — Build quality could be just slightly better, automatic needs to be a six speed instead of four

I needed a car and it was cheap.  What more is there to say?  And it comes standard with a remote starter
which helps when it's 115 in June.

What a fun, great looking ride!  30+MPG, leather heated seats,
moonroof, traction control, stabillitrack, ABS, AC, 260 watt Pioneer
stereo with sub, iPod integration, PW, PDL, Remote Start, Cruise.

The steering wheel is amongst the best I've ever personally owned,
leather wrapped with controls for Cruise and stereo on the wheel.  

Handling is excellent, car is easy to drive with magnetic variable assist
steering.  Breaking is good with 4-wheel ABS, 2.4L engine returns over
30MPG on the freeway and a minimum of 22MPG in town.

The stereo in the LT2 package is amongst the best I've ever heard in a
factory configuration.

Pros — Fun to drive, plenty of pep, handles well, all the gadgets one could want.
Cons — Not the biggest interior but still very roomy for how small it is.  Maybe
wish there was an AWD version but I don't really need it.

Reviewing: 2008 Chevrolet HHR Panel LS

great crossover with a lot of room, the panel feature is cool but visibility isn't that great.  acceleration leaves much to the imagination.  

Pros — gas mileage is good, the cubic space is surprisingly large to the size of the vehicle.  steering and control of the vehicle is great.
Cons — visibility in the panel trim vehicle and acceleration.
