Great car for the money

Surprisingly roomy on the inside. Fits 4 adults comfortably. I like the reconfigurable storage in the back. and the fact that it is plastic rather than carpeted. I can run to the big box home store and pick up supplies and not worry about messing up carpet. This one has a standard transmission, so performance is adequate. I test drove an automatic and it felt anemic. So far, gas mileage is great 26-27 in town and 31+ on the highway. No problems so far. This is a car I enjoy getting in and driving every morning.

2010 Chevy HHR LT2

Found nice low mileage certifed HHR On Cars.com So far it has done everything expected. The gas mileage in City is appox. 24 Using E85 has proven to be more costly then regular gasoline and unless there is at least $1.00 difference doesn't pay to use it. The only downside to car is interior panels are completely made of a heavy no attractive plastic.

Sound value for the money

I really like the exterior design and the roomy inside. My only complaint is that the defrost has a tendency to blow up and toward your face which can make it feel stuffy. However, my family really likes it.

I love this car.

My wife calls it a boy car; I don't know about that, but I know it is a great car. I have wanted one for a while now and now that I have one, I love it.

Pleased as Punch

We bought our HHR used with 43k miles on it from a local dealer. We are very pleased with our purchase. The car is comfortable, rides well, gets great mileage, has very good pickup-the 4cyl/transmission combination surprises you, and we like to look and roominess of the car. We're very pleased with our choice.

HHR - mileage + space

Chevy doesn't advertise the HHR much because it's more practical and easier on gas than some of their other low end SUVs that they make more money on. I needed to carry a lot of video equipment, load easily but I refused to get a car with gas mileage worse than my previous car (27 in the city, 32 on the hwy - actual numbers). The HHR is great on gas and terrific for cargo. Plus I do like the "retro" look of the car; I think it's fun. Only negative is a lack of interior storage space within easy reach of the driver.

2010 HHR

Economical, great small utility vehicle. Interior could do with a redesign. Cup holders are in an awkward position. If you're tall, the windshield is a bit low, its difficult to look up at traffic lights when at the stop line. Good balance between power and gas mileage. Good usefull features and options.

Safe and reliable

I had a '07 HHR LS. A Chevy Venture Minivan cut me off and I t-boned it and slide down the side of the van. The van was very messed up and all I had was a front quarter panel Nd bumper that had to be replaced. I was very thankful I had such a great solid car. The more I drove it the better I liked it and traded it in for a '10 HHR LT. The car has excellent gas mileage usually around 29-32. I have a bad back and find it easy to get in and out of. It is so much fun to drive. I have had no mechanical problems with my '07 which had 63,000 miles and my '10 has 39,000. The interior is plastic and probably others would like more expensive interior but I love it. I have two dogs and dont have to worryabout them hurting thr interior with claws. I have frie ds that drove my '07 and they feel in love with it and bought one for themselves. They have had theirs since '08 and they have had no problems with the car. They still love it. I would recommend this car to anyone that wants a reliable and safe vehicle.

Great utility

Great little wagon. Plenty of pep & good MPG. I get 28 MPG ovewrall. 32 -34 Hwy. Fold flat front passenger seat allows me to carry 8' lumber & 8' ladder inside. I bought a 2010 with 30K miles from a Chevy Dealer and received the extra warranty at no charge & they put on new tires and brakes. Paying less than 14 K out the door,I felt like I got a good car at a good price with the features that were important to me.
