This is a really fun, different looking car. The HHR is classified in the truck section, however, has the base and gas economy of a car. I love how much space it has and the fact that the seats (even the front one) fold flat. It can hold 8ft boards or a couple of bikes INSIDE and the panelling/bottom is plastic, so it wipes clean after a muddy transport. The trunk also has an extra compartment underneath to hide away things like jumper cables and car emergency supplies. The drivers seat adjusts 8 ways and the vents can be angled in any direction. Even in the back, there is plenty of leg space for 2 full grown adults. I would recommend this car to anyone and am considering getting the 2011 when this lease is up.

6.8 litres per hundred - next question? Carries almost as much as SUV's we've owned, reasonably peppy, perfect for the two of us. Can't stop playing with the little in-dash information centre and am fixated on the 'average economy' feature. Best tank of gas - 6.3 litres per hundred with cruise set at 95. Best range - 870 k on a single fill. 24,500 trouble free k's except for a front sway bar end, under warranty and repaired instantly.

Heavy, no real 'feel', buzzy motor, not refined. Cheap feeling. Clunky front end components. interior is ok at best. Very plasticky. Cheap. Lots of room though. Cheap on gas, insurance is average. Overall, I am impressed with it, but Chev needs to spend more on materials and quality to even get close to the competition. Toyota, volkswagen, honda etc..

The only downside I have for this car is in snow. It does not seem to like driving when there is more than an inch of snow on the ground. It over turns in the snow. I may need better tires. I love the retro look to the interior dash and the MP3 hookup to the music system. I also like the information features on the dash. I especially love the available mileage and constant temperature reading.

The HHR has a nice smooth ride and accelerates well. The only repairs it has needed is the windshield. Gas mileage is very good and it is easy to maintain. Minor repairs and maintenance can easily be done at home
