I had a 2009 HHR with the 2.4L engine in it. I drove the crap out of it. It had 50,000 miles when I got it. Sold it almost 5 years later with 184,000 miles. I didn’t want to get rid of it, but the transmission had started to act up periodically. I did a lot of driving, so I didn’t want to risk it. But, it was a good car and I was meticulous with maintenance. Aside from some freak incidents and one auto accident, I never had any trouble with it. I would definitely own another one if I found one in good shape. I could haul all kinds of musical equipment in that thing too! It served me well! P.S. Love your channel Scotty!

Kilmer, I bought my 67 Camaro 3500SS in 1975! Just last month I had to replace the original radiator as it finally yielded up the ghost! I served in USCG and put 125,000 + miles on it and I have never walked away from it(IE-breakdown) I have meticulously maintained it- changing all fluids (even brake fluid) frequently! It still has original drive train and only rebuilt motor in 1978! Also put a 4.10 posi in the rear! Car even has original ball joints! Chevy's been making good cars a long time!

@markwhitfield6225 Год назад

I have had my HHR since 2007. It has been great. Tons of parts available since it shares so many parts with the cobalt. The front passenger seat folds down and has hard plastic on the back of it so you can haul 8ft lumber in it with the gate closed. So much utility in this little wagon.

Everything works on mine. Runs great. Love it. When was looking for a car wanted a wagon type but not an SUV & the HHR turned our to be perfect for what I needed. I’m 73 years old so guess I qualify as that older guy who takes care of his vehicle too. Oh, body on my is near perfect.

Sometimes it is not a matter of price, all water heater tanks (no tankless are) are made in Mexico and 95% are crap regardless of price; If you pay $3000 to Home Depot you will still get junk with plastic parts just like the furnace mentioned in another video, but if you go a professional supply house, or just hire a plumber, you can get one for $800-900 that is ALL metal parts. No planned failure. It is not a matter of cost, your premise is FALSE. Mexico used to make TVs, then Asia took away their market, same is happening with water heaters for new developments that can install a bigger meter, up north we need the 199,000 BTU versions which means you need a 350K meter if you have gas heat or anything other then a NG stove. I my case my furnace it just enough I can not use the stove of the water heater and furnace are both on so I had to stick with a all metal, for now. I did come into some money and may upgrade the meter for when the tank fails in a few decades.

I have a 2006 2.4L HHR and i love it! Lots of room esp when you need to bring bigger things home, the backseats fold down. I also love the passenger front seat folds flat with a hard top which makes eating in the car not so bad. I even did the "van life" in mine and since that front seat folded flat it was the perfect bed size to sleep in. I even bought an extra trunk tray to hold more things up top in 2 trunk organizers and still had all the space below as well . Is the perfect car so far. I really wish i got the newest fully loaded one before they stopped making it. I wish they'd bring them back.

I bought a 2008 HHR LT2 about a month ago with 102,800 miles on it. I can tell it was well maintained because it's not all beat up and the interior looks just about new. I bought it to use as a weekend car camper, among other things. The back seats fold flat, so it's easy to put a foam pad in the back to sleep on. According to the carfax report, the ignition switch, a common problem on the HHR, was replaced at about 60,000 miles, so that's done.

@1EagleDave 8 месяцев назад

Yes, if you are In canada you also have a 999,000 warranty on the power steering steering motor ( go to gm site and run your vin it will be there have to look for it thou.) which I also know for a fact (motor book) factory edition it does state that they are to be replaced *together) one will not work properly without the other but DAMM GM WILL NOT REPLACE BOTH. they will always only replace the p/s motor. and with mine it was replaced at only 3,600 kmh you never hear of the steering column having to be replaced on a brand new car this was just plain crap but it is what it is. I have fought with GM over this and all I ever got was ( HOW FAR DO I WANT TO GO) Meaning how much $ do I want to spend on their crap mistake. but they win each time. And yes I have also has the ign replaced early on with this car.

@STho205 Год назад

My daughter has one she bought with 80k for $3800 in 2019 from a Ford dealer that grabbed it before the shop sent it to auction cause the salesman knew she was in her last year of college. I drove it and had a mechanic check it. It was great, and surprised me. She loves it. Yes her signal stalk stopped autocancelling too. It's similar to a Saturn Vue and the Equinox....using the Cobolt platform. It is spunky, comfortable, and very pleasant to drive. I see one every day I'm out on the road, and for a 25 year old Chevy niche car-van that is strange.

Underpowered with slushbox trannies in them. He did like the Chevy better, but they cost THOUSANDS more than the PT. After I succeded in talking him out of BOTH, he admitted the salesman at Chevy told him he would throw in a crap-ton of options to make the sale. Same with the PT!!! He did thank me, then we got him a Caddy CTS [used] that he LOVED. The Caddy was his last car. And was great!!!

Most common issues are plastics, rubber, O2 sensors, valve cover gasket, lower control arm bushings, some can develope an exhaust leak from a cracked manifold, belt tensioner, brakes and other little things. They are very easy to work on, and all of that stuff is inexpensive to replace for the most part. Cobalt, Pontiac g5 and hhr are all the same platform. Just swapped the rear beam out from a G5 GT with rear disks. Brakes way better! Love these cars

I bought the first model year 2006 Chevy HHR LT and had fun driving the car but the low-profile Firestone Firehawk tires picked up nails and easily got damaged from small potholes, The front rotors warped at 10k miles, ( Chevy dealer would only resurface the front rotors and I would have to return often for the same issue ) and I had to replace the Rear right brake lamp several times. Unfortunately, I grow tired of Chevrolet's repair nonsense and at 18k I traded it away for a 06 Honda Ridgeline.

Had a 2008 Cobalt for 10 years and 150k miles, normal maintenance and some suspension parts. Original alt, water pump etc. Great car! Kinda miss it. The TPMS system was still working as of 2020 when I sold it.

@MaddogsYardnFarm Год назад

I have a 2010 2.2L LT and changed the transmission fluid @ 100k, 5k miles later I had to rebuild the transmission. No other major problems aside from that. Regular maintenance and still buzzing up and down the road @ 140k.

i got a 2006 chevy HHR, pretty good vehicles. I noticed that the suspension system is pretty weak and often needs work. also the alloy wheels are cheaper grade alloy and often need replacement rims, go aftermarket and be done with it. I bought 5 star replacement alloy rims from firestone and they are tough, matched with goodyear reliant tires 17 inch. Moon roof problems and altermator issues, but nothing major. I think mine is going to need a timing chain and gear at 185k but all in all its a fairly reliable car. oh and interior door handles break and fobs have battery connection problems, needs a solder point. g

Try an HHR SS! It’s a beast and it will put you back in your seat! 260 hp and 260 torque! 2 liter turbo. Absolutely reliable too!

I am considering buying one in 2009. I have a Mitsubishi Outlander 2010 but apparently, the engine is bad. This 2009 HHR is from an elder who can no longer drive. It only has 70k miles who, in 2023 2009 only 70k, and it looks like new. I am going to check it out tomorrow. Thanks a lot for your video review.

@printerdaves72 Год назад

I've had 3. All over 200k on them. Normal parts brakes, oil, filters. Inexpensive reliable cars. Most vehicles will last if you take care of them.

My wife has a 2017 Honda Fit, 60k miles, made in Mexico. I know it still kind of new but it feels solid, never had any issue. The point is not everything is bad or good in Mexico as well as any country. They've been improving a lot on quality, even though it's not close to Japan, even China has some quality products.

@Nathan-zd6qz Год назад

be sure to use pure gas otherwise you will need to walnut blast the valves @100k and replace the injectors @100-150k

Good to know. I always liked the PT Cruiser with the wood siding. I think it would look sharp on the back of a tow truck. [I have an 84 Chrysler le barone mark cross edition of course it looks good. I spent 1,000s of dollars bringing the mechanicals up to par. But it looks good with the top down. ]

Nothing is better than the reliable older cars, with manual transmission. And cost less, too.

If those had been RWD and built with the 3800 engine and Turbo Hydramatic 400 transmission most of them would probably still be on the road today.

My 2006 Chevy Cobalt has got 350,000 Miles on it it's a 2.2 engine,got it when it had 18,000 on it only things I'll done to it is 2 set of bearings,a starter, 2 coil packs and a gas line. Besides maintaining brakes, oil,plugs,I mostly only used MOBIL 1 OIL,SO I THINK YOU ARE WRONG.also it's still running Great Scotty

@kevinaddington706 3 месяца назад

Coworker has an HHR pushing 300k. Runs great and has very little rust. I believe it’s a 2007. I think they look neat. I don’t understand the “panal van” style line. The ones made to look like panal van, just don’t make sense. There are no rear door handles on the exterior of the car and no windows. If you want to open the rear door and don’t have a passenger in the rear, you have to open the front door and reach in to open the back door from the inside. PT cruisers are much more abundant then HHR’s in my area. I would buy either one to have as a spare.

@xBruceLee88x Год назад

Love to see you're willing to admit when you're wrong. HHRs were pretty neat lol

Damn right they were better made. I have an HHR Panel that I actually use as a camper van this little thing has been everywhere and I do mean everywhere and it is still going strong. I have an RV also and I a lot of the time I still take the HHR on trips instead of the RV.

@trainman9119 Год назад

I agree with you about anything designed and built by Chrysler. My brother and I spent thousands of dollars in repairs on Chryslers and Jeeps with less than 150k miles - HVAC, trannys, differentials …. Now that Chrysler and Fiat are “brother and sister” we can expect great employment security for repair shop employees. Now we only drive Honda and Subaru cars.

Have had 2 grand caravans first went to 100000no repairs second one lost the tranny at 65000 no warning once they pass 65 watch out if it makes it past 70000you got a good tranny also getting the transmission oil checked at dealer expensive since they have a sealed tranny
