2011 Chevrolet HHR - I love it
The HHR is a stylish retro wagonette based on the Chevrolet Cobalt platform. Introduced in 2006, it offers more interior space and better looks than the Cobalt, although the roughly $3000 premium for the HHR is not insubstantial. An economy-minded ride, the regular HHR offers a choice of 2.2- And 2.4-Liter four-cylinder engines, with 155 hp and 172 hp, respectively. Transmission choices are a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic.

2011 Chevrolet HHR - HHR: good cars, annoying build.
I currently have a 2011 Chevy HHR that I bought used. It has been a good car and has run well, for the most part. It gets good gas mileage and doesn’t eat oil. It is roomy and comfortable for long rides. I have put the back seat and moved anything from entire rooms worth of boxes to large bulky items with relative ease. My main problem with the car has basically been sub-par parts. So far, I’ve had 3 interior door handles break. They are made out of pretty flimsy plastic. Then there is the fact that the drain tube tends to get slimed up and backs up. I don’t know if it is specifically an HHR issue, but it seemed pretty common. I created huge puddles in the passenger side and blew out my A/C fan motor. All of those things are relatively easy to replace, so they have not been huge proble... (more)
Story
Other than the dog incident above, which was not fun, I do not really have memorable stories. It’s a good car that takes me where I need to go. I don’t really go joyriding or do any zany tricks with it. I call it Rufus, and we basically packed up my friends entire house into it (except for furniture and appliances) and moved it in one trip.
Pros
The gas mileage and oil usage are really good. It has tons of room and is comfortable. I think the design is cute, too.
Cons
The parts on it are not quality. The interior door handles are plastic and break easily. The A/C and rain drain tube gets slimed up easily and backs up. I don’t like having to go through the wheel well to change the headlights.
