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.
