2007 Chevrolet HHR consumer reviews

It's great on gas mileage. A million dollar car if you can overlook the blind spots. Easily pushed around road in windy conditions. A fight actually to keep it in line, top is too light for windy days. When one thing starts falling apart and replaced definitely be prepared to have more follow. Light covers are terrible. Windows easily crack. Hub caps are plastic. Won't stay on, or crack. 3rd time replacing them. No way to check the transmission fluid unless you take it in. It's under the car. Yes, there is a leak, an oil leak as well. You can't just Easily check or add the tranny fluid as needed. Such a pain. Altenator ,brakes struts/shocks/tie rods all at once. When it leaves you walking and it will be ready to pay major bucks for towing, parts, labor. It's a million dollar car alright & will cost every last penny you have to keep it going.

I bought the plain, zero frills LS new, in '07. 128K miles and counting. I haul my drums all over metro Denver and it fits all my gear, perfectly. It averages 24-28 mpg, per tank. I've lost track of how many times people have mistaken it for a PT Cruiser. It's no pocket rocket but then, I don't need to drive that fast.

very clean, runs great, fun car to drive no leaks in sun roof. i love that car. GREAT HANDLINGTHE BUS WAS A GOOD NAME good trip car good milage and comfortable

This car met all my needs, was reliable and VERY good on gas! I honestly liked it more than I expected to. Still ran fine when I upgraded to a different vehicle after 3 years.

This is the worst car I ever had. It's horrible in the snow! I was always getting stuck in the snow, and actually totalled it in an accident because of snow. The air bags never went off and I hit a semi. The windshield cracked easily and was replaced several times as well as tires and shocks. Car was too low to the ground and had alot of issues.

The vehicle does everything that I want. Very reliable and we use it for all our errands. For a second vehicle it is a very good little car.

Overall we enjoyed the 7 years we had with this vehicle. The 2.4 Ecotec engine is VERY reliable. Never overheated and always started fine. Kept the oil changed religiously, too. We only had to replace the serpentine belt and the alternator in 7 years. Not bad for a car assembled in Mexico! This HHR had the typical brake and suspension issues and this is where the vast majority of repair funds went ….. so be aware that it pays to buy quality suspension and brake parts from the get-go instead of trying to save a few bucks. Highly recommend this little crossover SUV!

This was my first car and I dont regret it. If it wasn't for me getting a new car as a gift from my brother I would have kept it through college. I travel for soccer 4 times a week one hour away sometimes farther and its never let me down.

The car met all my requirement had for 7yrs and no major repairs except usual I only experience problems with both front door handles breaking

I liked the retro styling of the HHR. After 11 years and 165,000 miles my HHR is still going strong. This car scores big on reliability. Outside of the usual maintenance of oil changes, new tires, timing belt, etc., no major problems with my HHR. Great cargo space, the storage compartment on dash works well. The remote start is a nice feature. It's been an all around great vehicle.
