2007 Chevrolet HHR Reviews, Pricing & Specs

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

Performance-Not a sports car, but peppy and agile. Driving 55% highway, 45% city, I am averaging 28.1 mpg-very happy with that! Appearance-Modern interior which looks refined well above the cars price point. Exterior styling still turns heads. Build Quality- Good blend of materials on the interior. Exterior build quality seems average for Chevrolet. Get good J.D. Power ratings for Power train quality.

very good for a 2.2. Like the retro look and gets great gas mileage. I have to show the car to many interested persons that stop to talk. I get about 27-32 miles per gallon. Had it just over a year and has not given us one bit of trouble.

With high gas prices remaining a sure thing for a while, I wanted to see if the HHR was a possible answer to my call for help. My call for a more fuel efficient car from an American company with plenty of room for friends and cargo. Even though the test drive was short, it was long enough to get a good feel for the car. Honestly, the car surprised me. Acceleration, while not like a V6, was really good with plenty of giddy-up. Turning was okay with not too much lean and I think it could handle being a little sporty. Blind spots might take some getting used to with the design of the windows as you work your way back, but the large side mirrors help you out quite a bit. Not a squeak or a rattle came out of the car which impressed me. The only other negative things I noted were the automatic having only 4 speeds instead of 5 (also can't have a automanual or manumatic...yet), getting used to the window controls being placed on the center stack and the occasional numbness from the steering. Other than that, I can recommend this to everyone else if they want an economical compact with plenty of room for friends and stuff with features that won't break the bank. Chevy has a hit on its hands with the HHR and I'm definitely considering this for myself in the future.

The car is economical on gas but the best feature is that the Passenger seat folds FLAT forward allowing for more items of longer length to fit inside the car. As well with the Passenger seat pushed forward and Flat it makes a Great Platform for my Laptop when out on the road. After 175k km I did end up requiring about $4k in basic repairs and that doesnt include yet that the Timing Chain needs to now be replaced, another $1k... Overall though I love it.

Good on gas and very comfortable to drive.
