Chevrolet HHR Panel reviews

2008 Chevrolet HHR Panel Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2008 Chevrolet HHR Panel:

• We found the Chevy HHR to be fun to drive. It isn't a sports car, but it's nimble and we were pleased with its acceleration. The HHR feels more responsive than its horsepower, torque, and transmission ratio numbers suggest. Plus, it gets decent fuel economy.- New Car Test Drive

• A major benefit of the old-school design is excellent visibility all around, making lane changing and parking less stressful.- Edmunds.com

• A smooth, quiet ride is the HHR's biggest strength, as its softly calibrated suspension soaks up the bumps.- Edmunds.com

What reviewers liked least about the 2008 Chevrolet HHR Panel:

• The interior wasn't as functional as we'd have liked, however, and the base cloth fabric left us wishing we'd ordered the optional leather.- New Car Test Drive

2008 Chevrolet HHR Panel Comparisons:

• The HHR is built on the platform of the Chevy Cobalt compact and incorporates its best features: engine, transmission and suspension. The HHR is meant to compete against the Chrysler PT Cruiser, as well as the Honda Element. It also serves as an alternative to a Jeep Liberty or Ford Escape.- New Car Test Drive

• Like its segment mates, the Chevy HHR offers the amazing space efficiency of a tall passenger compartment. At 176 inches in overall length, it's 4 inches shorter than the compact Chevy Cobalt, yet offers 39.5 inches of rear legroom compared to the Cobalt's 33.7 inches. And at nearly 24 cubic feet, it leads the class in cargo capacity behind the rear seat.- Edmunds.com
