2008 Chevrolet HHR SS review from North America
"Would buy another in a heart beat!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, no problems at all.
General comments?
The looks, power, brakes, handling, and economy are unparalleled. The looks are exceptional, and it will not be confused with anything else.
The power, with almost zero turbo lag, is just super with 260 ft/lbs of torque, and 260 hp. One of the faster vehicles I've owned.
The brakes are the best of any car I've ever owned, and I've owned 9 new cars. It'll stop on a dime with no fade or pulling.
The handling is very good with its race tuned suspension. It is a real thrill to drive.
The economy is very good, with 30 - 32 mpg on the open road and about 24 mpg around town.
