Overview

The 2011 Chevrolet HHR Wagon is a compact wagon offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $18,720. For that price, it mainly competes with less expensive rivals such as the Nissan Cube and the Scion xB. Between 3 trims, the HHR offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.2L inline-4 capable of making 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 172 horsepower-making 2.4L inline-4 engine. Both engines are offered with a choice between a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The HHR reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.7 seconds. Depending on the powertrain, the HHR manages a combined fuel economy of 25 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the HHR comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2011 Chevrolet HHR Wagon is a spacious and versatile offering in its segment. There are three trims offered and we recommend getting the mid-level LT trim. It comes equipped with extra features over the base trim including body-color mirrors and a power driver seat.

              Overall great car

              Pros - ["Great reliable car", "Roomy and spacious", "Storage space"]

              Cons - ["Does go that fast", "No power going up mountains", "Not that easy on gas"]

              Gets me to where I need to go and is dependable. Runs amazing may need an aftermarket turbo.... Its got great gas mileage and wouldn't be scared to take it on a vacation. Got lots of leg room inside. Awesome car.
