'06 Chevrolet HHR

Built on Chevy’s small sedan platform that produced the popular Cobalt, the 2006 Chevrolet HHR comes fitted with the same transmission, suspension and engine that comprised the best features of the Cobalt.

The 2006 HHR is available in three variants – the LS, the 1LT and the 2LT. There are two engine choices. The LS offers a standard 2.2 liter V-4 Ecotec engine that produces 143 hp, while you can get the more powerful 2.4 liter V-4 Ecotec engine that produces 172 hp with ease. All models incorporate a five speed manual transmission, but buyers can choose to install a four-speed automatic if they like.

You can add some nifty features like rear curtain airbags, front airbags, ABS and remote starting, depending on the model and add-ons purchased. Interiors Are nice, and the dash is big and wide in the front. The 2006 Chevrolet HHR achieves better than average fuel economy, and is a nice ride.

'07 Chevrolet HHR

An off-shoot of the popular Cobalt platform of the company, the '07 Chevrolet HHR draws from the best features of the Cobalt, using its suspension, engine and transmission to provide a stable ride with good fuel efficiency.

Available in three variants, the 2007 Chevrolet HHR comes with a standard double-overhead cam V-4 Ecotec 2.2 liter engine that churns out an adequate 143 horsepower, but can be upgraded to a more powerful 2.4 liter V-4 172 horsepower version of the same engine for the 1LT and 2LT versions.

The 2007 Chevrolet HHR is a two wheel drive, and comes with a five speed manual transmission. A four-speed auto transmission is available as an option, as is the speed sensitive power steering. The cabin provides comfortable seating for five people with adequate legroom.

The 2LT comes with 17” alloy wheels and also features ABS and Satellite Radio. Traction control and side-curtain airbag options provide added safety.
