ConsumerGuide

The 2008 Chevrolet HHR comes in fairly stripped base versions, while SS editions have a longer list of features. Still, some advanced tech options like Bluetooth remain off the options list.

Edmunds reports that "the regular [Chevrolet HHR 2008] wagon comes in two main trim levels: LS and LT." ConsumerGuide says Chevrolet HHR 2008 "features availability are competitive."

According to Kelley Blue Book, the Chevrolet HHR base trim includes "five-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, AM/FM/CD sound system with auxiliary input jack, power windows/locks/mirrors, remote keyless entry, cruise control, 16-inch wheel covers, trip computer [and] OnStar." They say one of their favorite features is a "front-mounted auxiliary input jack [that] makes it easy to connect any MP3 player or other audio source to the HHR's sound system."

Edmunds reports "major options for the LT include remote vehicle starting (included with the 2008 Chevrolet HHR automatic transmission), leather seating with heated front seats, in-dash CD changer, satellite radio and a sunroof." Kelley Blue Book tells us that Chevrolet HHR "features that will take you beyond base sticker price include a more powerful 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, four-speed automatic transmission, leather seating, heated front seats, power driver's seat, stiffer suspension, power moonroof, 260-watt sound system with subwoofer, in-dash six-disc changer, MP3 compatibility [and] XM Satellite Radio."

Conclusion

The 2008 Chevrolet HHR offers a decent palette of features, but the latest advanced features aren’t available.

Other Choices:

While the 2008 Chevrolet HHR owes its styling cues to the Chevrolet Suburban from the 1940s, there's no retro technology hiding under its fenders. The Chevy HHR, especially with the direct-injection turbo engine of the SS edition, is a modern vehicle. But don't forget--the Chevrolet HHR is a low-priced compact that competes with all kinds of vehicles, from regular sedans to the obvious competitors noted here.

    What do you think I should put on my 07 Silverado? I was thinking maybe some chrome inserts. What do you think?
