Summary
The Chevy HHR is an SUV that celebrates the classic looks of the 1949 Chevy panel delivery truck. It's available with a great little engine, the 2.4-liter Ecotec. It's front-wheel drive, so it's not ideal for winter weather or going off the pavement, and it offers a mere 55.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The fact that the seats can fold flat helps increase the utility. But in the end, it's all about styling.NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Sam Moses filed this report from the Pacific Northwest's Columbia River Valley.

| 2007 Chevrolet HHR consumer reviews: | | | | overall rating |   | | value | | | comfort | | | reliability | |
| | My HHR has the economy of a small car, but the room and comfort of a large car. It is very comfortable and quiet. No complaints whatsoever! This is the most fun to drive car I've owned. | | posted by Yodenk on Jun 18 2007 | | |

| | I love my HHR! The HHR is great on gas and big enough for weekend trips with the kids. The XM Pioneer radio is great. Excellent gas mileage and love the quiet smooth ride for a small car. | | posted by HHR-Cruiser on Feb 14 2008 | | |

| | I truly enjoy it. It's pretty quiet and spacious. I love the cargo space, the way it drives, just eveything about it is great. I think just a little more room to store things would be great. | | posted by Cropper Zen on Sep 18 2008 | | |
