Jury still out

Hoping to find a late model with better MPG at a good price. The HHR is a well built GM product but not greatly satisfied on fuel economy. I believe that fuel evaporates while vehicle not in use. I KNOW when using E85 fuel that there is a greater amount of fuel loss due to evaporation due to a higher alcohol content. I do like the style and ride of the HHR. Lots of room for both passengers and cargo. Hopefully things concerning fuel economy will work out.

Great car!

I just got home from driving to Illinois from Virginia. The comfort, room, performance, and gas mileage were GREAT. Not only that, I really enjoyed the drive!

Love the storage, the mileage and the driver space. This was my second HHR. What will I do when this one is old? Sure hope someone can come up wit a comparable solution!

Very good car

I was referred to Fairway by a neighbor and went to different locations to get different options. Everywhere I went they said NO! Then when I was ready to give up, I thought I?d give Fairway a shot. When I showed up, I was greeted by a very friendly salesman named Fritz. I told him my situation and we went to look at cars he knew I can get without giving me false hope. Then we did our negotiating and back and forth with finance and I was very happy with the end result. They then called me to make sure everything was great and continue to follow up with me now to make sure I have everything I need. Best car buying experience ever!!!!

Just what I was looking for

The Chevrolet HHR was just what I was looking for. I work in the marine service industry & needed a vehicle to haul my tools around. As I travel quite a bit to jobs I needed something that got better than the 16- 20 MPG of my previous truck. I was looking at the panel version because of the lack of windows but found that the dark window tint hides my stuff from prying eyes while keeping blind spots to a minimum. Averaging 33 MPG so far is a nice thing considering the price of gas these days. The electric lumbar control is great for those long days in the saddle.

2011 HHR LS Panel

Just got this Vehicle about 3 weeks ago, I Love It Like taking the qualities of a Truck and Car and combining Them.I went with the 5 speed Manual trans. and it can get up and Go. My Big Fat Golden Retriever fits in the back and now can enjoy AC this Summer. Added a hitch to the Back so can pull a small utility Trailer. As well it matches MY 1949 Chevy Pick-Up truck! Don't Know Why Chevrolet quit Making these??? But Hope Mine Lasts a Long Time!! Great Mileage No-Brainer See Ya at The BeachIt holds My Surfboard with the Dog ;-} Cheers! Curt >~iii~<(

Good value for the cost

There is other vehicles I like better. But for what I wanted to spent this was the best value I could find. I drive this vehicle to work every day. I am getting an average of approx. 27.9 miles per gallon . This vehicle has a great ride and is fun to drive.

Great Little HHR

We had a 2009 HHR which we enjoyed very much. Unfortunately it was totaled in a car accident. We loved driving that little HHR so much that we went out and bought a 2011 with all the options. We can't say enough about how well it drives and handles in the snow up here in Spokane, Wa. It's great for moving large loads. I also love it's retro appearance. It's very comfortable and it brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. Needless to say I highly recommend the HHR.
