Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chevrolet HHR?
Looks.
Sound.
Interior space.
Features.
MPG.
Onstar with phone and turn-by-turn, etc.
Remote starter.
Roadside assistance.
Seems to stay cool even in dark colors on hot sunny days.
Dark tinted windows.
Sound system.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet HHR?
Cup holder locations.
Window controls need to be on each door and not the front driving console near floor.
Want all companies to improve mpg 30 is good today but got 42 in the mid 80's so shape up car companies. 30 is good but we need 100mpg.
Make front windshield taller or lower seats because cant see stop lights without bending over to peer out.

2008 Chevrolet HHR Review:
I love the car and can forgive the few issues it has. Mine is a special addition with shadow package. It has 1 year onstar and 130 minutes of sat-phone useage for 15$ I Like the sport suspension and even the power seems good on the 2.2 engine (i didnt buy it to race..LOL) Turning ration is very nice. It is very surefooted and handles very well. It is very quiet for this type of vehicle. I would compare it to my '02 Impala that is my favorite vehicle ever.

It needs to have a telescoping steering wheel. If you're tall, you need to move the seat back which makes for a long uncomfortable reach to steer.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chevrolet HHR?
I like my HHR in good weather. But if it snows I have to leave it home. It has no traction in snow what so ever. I don't care if it is light snow or if it is a blizzard. You go over 25 MPH the car gets a mind of it's own.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet HHR?
They need to equip these cars with better tires.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chevrolet HHR?
1. The flexible cargo space configurations.
2. The hidden cargo compartments.
3. The cargo net flexible usage configurations.
4. The ability to elevate the cargo shelf.
5. The good MPG.
6. The good handling.
7. The extra functionality of the 2LT version such as the traction control system.
8. The hatchback window defogging and window washer/wiper features.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet HHR?
1. Add a heating or defogging capability to the side mirrors.
2. Add a holding net to the back of the passenger front seat ala the back of the driver's seat.
3. Increase the depth and width of the inside four door holding spaces for things such as maps and CD packages.

2008 Chevrolet HHR Review:
Gasoline pump prices made me trade in my flexible use Chevy Avalanche. Happily, I found a flexible use capability in the smaller and more fuel efficient HHR 2LT.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chevrolet HHR?
Looks great. Nice retro styling. More leg room than I expected. Handles great.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet HHR?
Maybe bigger rearview mirrors. Visibility can be a problem in reverse in the HHR Panel. And I think the back deck could be articulated so you could have fold down seats instead of a flat cargo deck. Just gives you a nice option.

2008 Chevrolet HHR Review:
I have the bigger 4 cyl engine and find, so far, it does great. I came out of a full size 8 cyl Silverado so its been quite a change. Mostly pleasant. Especially mileage and handling!
