2009 Chevrolet HHR consumer reviews

My wife and I both have 2009 HHR’s. Hers is black with only 85,000 km on the clock she got hers used 7 years ago with only 65,000 km. Only repairs (other than oil changes and routine maintenance as per owners manual) have been front rotors which I upgraded to drilled and slotted rotors and just replaced the rear shocks. We tow hers behind our motorhome.She just loves her HHR. My HHR is a cool little Panel in metallic grey. I have had mine for 5 years with mileage at 145,000 km and it now has 255,000 Km. Just upgraded my front brakes to the drilled/slotted rotors and new rear shocks. Other than regular oil changes and routine maintenance I have had no issues with this little beast. Both cars are garage kept and never driven in the snow (have an old school Jeep for winter (1989 Jeep Cherokee we have owned for 26 years). I would recommend the HHR to any one looking for a nice little vehicle - both of have the automatic transmission and without a word of a lie we are getting between 29 and 31 mpg which is great 👍

I c all these good reports on this vech but yet I am seeing nothing but a money pit, I bought this car from original owner and it had 101280 on it, since the first year of owning it I had to replace the following: turn signal switch (L)(R)on steering column,door latches,door locks, warped rotor's, tie rods, transmission rebuild, wiring harness cracked solder connectors for dashboard components, entire rear brack light assembly, reverse light assembly,front headlight assembly and cyclops light assembly due to heating ? They were all melting (strange)...so I have had this for 4 YEAR'S!! I must have gotten the WHOLE LEMON 🍋..... my first Chevy and probably my last... I Miss My '68 Chevy Nova 😟😔😞....the newer Chevy's feel so cheaply made and collapse like a spring in crash tests that I c as I have done further researching into trucks/car's..... cost's up, quality down 👎 back to horse 🐎 and buggy's....... American vech's are not anything like they used to be.....not even close!!....hate to say it but Nissan frontier Ex of mine 350,000 miles still runs like a Scared cat and very dependable, original starter,alt, radiator, motor, and 2nd transmission "STRONG LIKE BULL" 🐂 THANKS for your time in reading this ("KAREN" rant) Have a wonderful day my friends!! 🙏 Thank you God for another day...... Bless you All

My HHR lasted for over 350,000 miles before a truck backed into me with the truck’s hitch going through the radiator. Normal maintenance issues. Very large cargo area for a compact car. Big enough to hold a full size freezer.

I can't start my 2009 HHR. It's not the battery, lights come on but it will not turn over. I bought the car in 2014. Had issues with the headlight on the passenger side. Not coming on, even after replacing the bulb. I was driving and the radio stopped playing, then I couldn't give turning signals, the temp didn't display,a light with a lock on my vehicle came on and after I parked it at home it hasn't started yet!

Might as well have the windows down as you can hear the slightest noise outside. Rising down the highway, you have to yell to hear each other clearly. The ride is truly awful, extremely bumpy. The wheel design was obviously intended to rust your rotors as fast as possible. The cabin filter is ridiculous to replace, as are the horn and headlamps. Window placement was intended for someone at least 6’2”. An average woman has to strain to see out the rear windows when backing, and you still can’t see very well. What it is lacking in leg room, it doesn’t make up for in cabin width. My arms ache from trying not to slam my elbow into the door. The plastic dash falls apart easily. The heated seats, seat belts, seat adjustment and back supports all developed problems shortly after purchase., as did the actuator behind the glove box. As a lifelong Chevy owner, I am very disappointed.

One best dependable cars ever. Roomie move a lot things to and from, plenty of cargo for vacation, good on gas as well as quiet ride

Satisfied with this vehicle, very good on gas per mile, I Love my vehicle, just what I was looking for and went there and it was still there, glad and satisfied!!!

I bought this car 5 years ago with 52,000 miles on the odometer. It now has 121,660 miles on it. Only one major repair on it, within a year of purchase. That was a clutch replacement. Since then only routine maintenance. And it still gets 28-30 mpg.

This HHR has never given me a problem (other than normal wear). It's great on gas and I like the retro look. It's great for carrying "stuff."

260000 Kms.. haul kids, dogs, trAvel across Canada in all weather conditions. Save a to. In fuel costs.. real gas miser. Interior is bland but is excellent for holding up to high demands of transporting a family.
