Photos: 2007 Chevrolet HHR
Although we aren't crazy about the exterior of the 2007 Chevrolet HHR, we give it credit for making a strong statement. The car is meant for cruising, not for speed, and although it has a full range of tech gear, we don't find OnStar as convenient as onboard systems.
Love it or hate it, the Chevy HHR has a unique style. The design is based on a late 1940s or early 1950s Chevy panel van.
As a retro design, it's every bit as good as the Mini Cooper or the new Ford Mustang, incorporating elements of the old and mixing them with the new.
Along with this version, the HHR can be had with just the front side windows, mimicking the look of a classic panel van.
The tail lights are another nice detail copied from the earlier Chevy panel van, although the older car has only one set of lights, not this stack.
The interior configuration of the HHR is good, with four seats and plenty of cargo area. The rear seats fold down so the HHR can transport large objects.
The interior of the HHR is well built, although we didn't like the hard plastic comprising the dashboard.
Navigation and hands-free calling are available through OnStar.
Although the radio display is ugly, it is functional, letting you easily select XM satellite radio categories, for example.
The 'i' button activates this track information display when an MP3 CD is playing.
The HHR's auxiliary audio input is mounted in the radio faceplate.
You can use these presets for the EQ or customize bass, treble, and midrange levels.
The seven-speaker system includes this subwoofer, as well as tweeters in the car's A pillars and mids in the doors.
The oversize steering wheel doesn't improve the car's mediocre handling.
The instruments are attractive, using a refined watch-dial look.
With the HHR, you have a choice of a 2.2-liter or 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. This is the 2.4-liter version.
