14500 miles and not one trip back to the dealership for any issues. What I've done consists of tires, rims, traction bar, running boards, fog lights, cargo mat, stubby antenna, regular oil changes, tire rotations and upkeep. The information display says I've averaged 28.6 mpg and I've been loving every mile. It's a keeper.

 

its rare to see people happy with there product give a good review. all you find anywhere are complaints

 

Sing it from the mountaintops, my HHR is perfect and I love it!

Wish we'd hear things like this more.

 

My 08 has a little over 88,500 miles, the only thing I have done to it is replace the fuel pump and that was my fault for letting it sit in the garage and not driving it.

 

Might note that most owners are happy owners just we only hear from the complainers.

 

Its true hyperv6, the great majority of us are happy campers, and maybe we don't say it often enough. Perhaps its time for a "My HHR is running great how about yours?" thread.

 

What about those of us complainers that are happy with their HHR?

 

I don't love my HHR, but I do like it. It gets the job done for the most part... hauls my fat a$$ around town to and from work allows me to enjoy my hobbies,jst wish I could average 28 mpg. but 18 miles in stop and go traffic is murder on the fuel econ..

 

I have had my driver's license for 46 years, and have owned quite a few cars in my time. With the exception of my 1963 Hillman Super Minx, my 2007 HHR LS is the most satisfying car I have ever owned. There isn't anything that I don't like about it.

All complex machinery develops a fault or two eventually - it's in the nature of physical reality. If I were allowed to gripe, I would offer the opinion that the problems that beset most modern vehicles (not just the HHR) really should not happen. But cost-cutting to remain competitive means that the occasional sub-standard component gets integrated into even the highest priced vehicles, let alone vehicles in the lower end of the range.

 

SOmetimes I feel like the only HHR owner satisfied with their purchase. I couldn't be any happier with my car, considering the absolute abuse it has gotten.
