2007 Chevrolet HHR LS review from North America
"Honestly one of the best cars I've owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely no mechanical issues whatsoever.
General comments?
This has been outstanding value. This little car is stylish, economical and surprisingly rugged.
I cannot imagine how others can consider the car cheaply built. The 2.2 ecotec 4 cylinder and Hydra-Matic 4t45e trans-axle are as sturdy as the old Chevy's from the 60's.
The styling is eye catching, and many people who see it stop me to tell a story about the '49 Suburban their dad owned or something of that nature.
The usable storage area is huge for this size vehicle.
The fuel economy is tremendous - far exceeding the EPA 23/30. I have never gone below 25 city, and I have seen 34 highway.
I have never owned a car this small, and I never thought I would be this happy with it.
Just in case any one was wondering, both the HHR and PT Cruiser were designed by the same man - he moved from Chrysler to GM!
