2007 Chevrolet HHR Owner Reviews

I bought my HHR in July of 07, and it now has 23K "trouble free" miles on it. I took it on a 5K mile trip (mostly Interstate driving) last year,and got 35.6 mpg. I usually average 30 mpg, on the highway. As far as quality, fit/finish, and bang for my buck, I feel that Chevy hit a home run with the HHR. Two dislikes: 1st gear performance is a bit anemic, and I dislike the power window button locations. I've since heard that Chev. fixed that on the 2008-09 models. No car is perfect. However…

I purchased my 2007 HHR new from the dealer. I have had to replace 3 tires due to impact blows from going over rail road tracks or normal speed bumps. The struts have been replaced as well as the wheel housing....and my car only has 28,000 miles on it! The yahoo at Chevy headquarters, who I was assigned to, never returned my calls.

I bought a new 2007 HHR, followed all the required maintenance items, went to NM for the summer and while driving down a very high mountain the brakes started chattering. Took it to a dealer, the brake rotors were warped (at just under 21,000 miles)and I was charged $151.20 to fix them. Not covered under warranty- "That's a maintenance item". Many complaints, including letters to the Chairman of GM resulted in more frustration than imaginable. All agreed (after the Chairman letter) that I sh…

I've owned a 2007 HHR for almost two years, have 35K miles and I love it. On trips I get 32-36 mpg depending on how fast I drive. Around town I average 28-29 mpg. My only complaint is the location of the window switches. They should be on the doors, not the center console. I have the standard 2.2l engine with auto trans. and have no complaints about performance. Great car GM. Thanks!
