One Owner-well cared for HHR...The Chevrolet HHR is a car-based retro-wagon that celebrates its Chevy heritage with styling inspired by the iconic 1949 Suburban.HHR stands for Heritage High Roof, a reference to the early high-roofed Suburbans and panel trucks that inspired the design of the HHR.
We like the retrospective styling treatment served up by the HHR across the model range.The closest comparison to the Chevy HHR is the Chrysler PT Cruiser.They don't look anything alike, but both are four-cylinder wagons on the retro side of the design equation.Both fill a respective need in their individual camps.
The rounded nose of the HHR is not unlike Chevy's SSR, which also reflects the brand's truck heritage.The HHR's fenders are well defined with flat side wheel well openings contrasting favorably with the vehicle's many curved, contemporary sculpted surfaces.Front and rear bumpers and fog lamps are integrated into seamless fascia, offering another nostalgic touch.The flush glass all around, including the windshield is a nice touch, as are the headlights surrounded by body panels in old school fashion.The tail light treatment consists of two round vertically stacked lenses on each side.The large, prominent grille is chrome, (except on the SS model), and appears much like that of the 1949 Suburban.
Front and rear bumpers are molded from composite material, integrated as part of their respective fascia.The Chevy HHR offers a more traditional look than other vehicles in its competitive set.It provides lots of room and functionality without being boxy.When viewed from a distance, the HHR looks larger than it really is.Examined closely, it's compact.And you have to sit down into it upon entry and rise out of it when exiting.
Inside, the Chevy HHR provides for the most part, comfortable and functional surroundings.Included are durable, easy-to-clean cargo surfaces, a front passenger seat that folds flat for more cargo space, a 60/40 split/fold-flat second-row seat, and a multi-position cargo package tray in the rear that provides cargo security.
The rear seat, split 60/40, folds flat very easily, as does the front passenger seat; and since the 60-percent side of the rear seat is on the left, a long item like a ladder can be slipped in diagonally, a nice feature.The rear cargo floor flips up to reveal a five-inch-deep tray useful for storage.The rear lift gate is one piece, and raises easily.
Well equipped with a fuel efficient 2.2 liter 4cyl engine, Air conditioning, Power windows & locks, Tilt wheel, Cruise control, CD player, On star and much more...
All in all, the Chevy HHR is a pretty slick ride that lends itself to personalizing and customization.It is a nostalgic hauler for people who want something different, and who appreciate the classic looks of the 1949 Chevy Suburban.

Editorial Description
Chevrolet's HHR debuted in 2006 to much enthusiasm among entry-level car buyers, selling over 100,000 units in its first year. The attention-grabbing style continues in 2008, featuring a big chrome grille and a long smoothly curved hood reminiscent of Chevy's 1949 Suburban. The rear tailgate is framed by two small, round taillights, making the HHR the most unique vehicle in Chevrolet's lineup.
The front-wheel drive platform is borrowed from the Cobalt; however, the HHR is aimed at those looking for more style and more cargo room than the Cobalt provides.
HHR stands for "Heritage High Roof," and it is the high roof that provides ample interior headroom and generous cargo volume. Combined with a very configurable interior, including removable rear seats and a fold-flat front passenger seat, means the HHR is a very versatile passenger and cargo hauler. Captain's style seating allows good visibility and SUV appeal.
The base LS comes with the 2.2L engine and five-speed manual transmission, which can be upgraded to a four-speed automatic. The interior is generously equipped with standard power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, and cruise control. Remote vehicle start is available, as are antilock brakes with traction control. Music fans can opt for a seven-speaker Pioneer premium sound system.
The up-level LT trim adds an additional $1,000 to the sticker price, as well as 16-inch aluminum wheels, power mirrors, a power driver's seat, and an MP3 capable stereo with automatic volume control and an equalizer. The 2.4L engine, which puts out 172 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque, is only available on the LT trim as a $650 option.
The $2,395 2LT Preferred Equipment Package available on the LT trim includes a Pioneer speaker system, leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, fog lamps, chrome appearance package, 17-inch aluminum wheels, ABS brakes, StabiliTrak, the 2.4L engine, sport suspension, and traction control.
New for 2008 is the performance oriented SS model. Equipped with the same 2.0L turbo four that propels the Solstice GXP and Sky Redline, the SS promises to have plenty of verve. In addition to the hot engine, the HHR SS has four disc brakes, a stiffer suspension, 18-inch alloys, StabiliTrak, a rear spoiler, and fog lights. Inside, high-bolster seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel keep up with the performance theme.
Upgraded wheels, audio systems, and comfort features are available across the model range, allowing buyers to choose their level of customization.
For those looking to haul more goods than people, the HHR can be ordered in a panel configuration. It deletes the rear doors, rear windows, and rear seat, allowing users to stuff 55.6 cubic feet of cargo into the vehicle.
