2008 Chevrolet HHR Review: Problem Ridden Year For The Quirky Compact SUV

Alex Showalter
Jul 28, 2022

The 2008 Chevrolet HHR lasts around 150,000 miles with some power steering and engine problems. At $4,058 to $5,382 it’s cheap, but not a good choice when there are better SUVs available on the market.

likeFilled The Good
The cabin is quiet, there’s plenty of room for passengers and cargo, and no blind spots with all the windows.
dislikeFilled The Bad
Braking performance is downright bad, the base engine is a bit underpowered for its weight and the steering feel is loose and disconnected.

Is the 2008 Chevrolet HHR a Good Used SUV?

  • No, 2008 is a bad year for the HHR. The 2008 HHR scores lower than other compact SUVs and owner reviews complain about issues with a loss of power, excessive rust, and stereo system issues.
  • Interior quality is poor compared to other SUVs with a lot of cheap plastic used throughout the cabin and the information technology is also very outdated.
  • Reliability ratings are below average. Avoid models from 2006-2008, and go with a 2009 or newer which have fewer mechanical issues.
  • Performance is okay from the base 4-cylinder, but the turbocharged version is very quick.
  • The 2008 HHR is a safe vehicle, earning a perfect 5-star overall rating in government crash tests, and the only place where it gets 4 stars is in the rollover rating.
  • Fuel economy is good compared to other small SUVs, averaging 25 MPG, and it should be able to get about 450 miles of range out of the 16 gallon tank.

It is very good on gas mileage.
My vehicle is good on gas. Its small enough just for me to get into. Its big enough for my family. The only thing I do not like is how the dealership do not let you know when there are recalls.
accountCircle Karl G
I love the mileage I love the time that it can go before tune-ups.
The Chevy HHR is a economic vehicle to drive plus it is good on gas and I really love the way that you do not even have to change the oil but every three thousand miles or when you check the status on the information computer and I like the tire pressure system because it lets me know when to put air in the tires.

The Chevy hhr: guide to buy or not.
It is very spacious, but not overbearing. Has one big blind spot that you just adapt to over time. Supercharged, so it goes very fast, so really no performance issues. The hhr also switches gears smoothly. Very durable as I have had this car for over 5 years without any major issues. Very easy handling, with nice sturdy breaks. Overall no major complaints, I would honestly recommend this to the intended buyer.

The look of the car is not very attractive and its nearly impossible to see outside of the thing when you are trying to look for oncoming traffic. I do not like the seats or the feel of the plastic that surrounds everything inside.

What Do Critics Say About the Chevy HHR?

  • Consumer Reports says the 2008 HHR has an unrefined transmission, and lower than average owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds gives the HHR a 4.5/5 and enjoys the cargo space, but Edmunds does not like the noisy engines.
  • Kelley Blue Book users rate the HHR 4.3/5 and praise the comfortable cabin, but owners don’t like the high ownership costs.

What Common Problems Does the 2008 Chevrolet HHR Have?

The most common problems found in the 2008 Chevy HHR include a loss of power steering, stalling engines, and broken door locks. These issues are more serious than problems found on other compact SUVs from 2008.

Power steering system problems are the most common complaint from owners at around 85,000 miles. The electronic power steering motor wears out quickly and stop working. Replacing the motor is a costly process, costing about $1,400 on average.

Stalling engines are another issue reported by owners at around 60,000 miles. Some of the problems are caused by an issue with the main engine computer. In other cases there are issues with the coils and spark plugs, costing around $650 to replace.

Broken door locks show up on a lot of HHR models in the first 50,000 miles. The door lock actuators break quickly and have to be replaced, costing around $200 per door.

There are 5 recalls, which is fewer than average for an SUV its age. The most serious recall is for the ignition switch, which may be able to be turned off with the vehicle in drive, which can lead to a rollaway situation.

How Long Will the 2008 Chevrolet HHR Last?

A well-maintained 2008 Chevrolet HHR should be able to last around 150,000 miles, which is around 100,000 miles less than other compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V. Regular annual maintenance costs are higher than rivals, at about $436 per year, according to Repair Pal.

What Colors Does the Chevy HHR Come In?

How Big Is the Chevy HHR?

The 2008 Chevy HHR is a compact SUV but is smaller than some of the most popular competitors including the Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue. Passenger room is very good in the front and back seats, offering plenty of legroom for adults.

Cargo space is fantastic for a vehicle this size with 23.8 cubic feet of room behind the seats, and up to 62.7 with the seats folded flat. That’s enough space for 4-5 full size suitcases behind the seats.

VehicleHistory Image

How Does the Chevy HHR Compare to the Competition?

The 2008 Chevrolet HHR ranks near the bottom of the list of compact SUVs on the market due to its frequent mechanical issues.

The Chevrolet Equinox is a competitor costing about $500 more. Ride height and interior materials are better in the Chevy Equinox, but the Chevy HHR has more powerful engines available. We do not recommend either SUV for the 2008 model year, since they both have mechanical issues.

The Chrysler PT Cruiser is another rival, which costs about $1,000 less. Interior materials are much nicer in the Chrysler PT Cruiser, but the Chevy HHR offers better steering and a more engaging driving experience. We recommend the Chrysler PT Cruiser, since there are fewer complaints from owners.

It's pretty good on gas. I have never had any major problems with it.
I like my car but it has rusted a bit prematurely. The shape of it has contributed to that, I believe. When it's too cold, it doesn't ways to unlock. I think it's a bad system to have only one key hole. You can't unlock hatch or driver's side door, it's no good.

It is a great car mechanically but it rides very rough. It is good on gas and the upkeep is not hard. It is very roomy and lots of storage in the back for those shopping trips. The drawback like I mentioned earlier is it very rough riding but that is probably because it has a truck body is what the dealer told me.

It's a fun car to drive, has pretty good acceleration for being just a standard car, and there's quite a bit of space in the back to store items.
I feel the visibility is not great sometimes, as the windows seem small and seeing out the back sometimes is difficult. I also hate that the window buttons are on the dash rather than on the doors. Otherwise we've been pretty happy with it.

The car is very comfortable, compact (with lots of space), and simple.
For the most part this vehicle has had no major problems but there have been a few minor one. Such as wear and tear (replacing tires, brakes, battery, air filter, oil change spark plugs, and wires) replacing the ball joints. Right now the current problems are motor mounts and suspension leaks. There could be more that I am not aware of. When we first got the car it ran smoothly/ hat lasted about a month and then car started to run really hard. As far as comfort and the features it has, the seats are comfy. The stereo is not world class but it is simple. There is plenty of space in the whether or not you put down the seats.

Rusty doors due to design flaw.
This vehicle except for one thing, there is a lot of rust at the bottom of the doors and the back gate because of a design flaw. There are holes at the bottom of the doors and gate to allow water to drain as it runs down the windows and the design did not take into account the chemicals and salt used on the roads where snow is prevalent. It causes the doors to rust from the inside out.

I love the size of my little hhr. I have a 5 speed and love the ease of shifting. The smaller size makes it possible to fit into tight areas and parking spots. The small windshield makes it harder to see signals when stopped, but that is a minor problem compared to all the positives. It is a comfortable car to drive and ride in. There is plenty of room for passengers in the back and when the seats are folded down it has a lot of room to haul anything you want.

I like that the HHR is a mid car size but sits up higher than other cars. I like that it does not have a traditional trunk and the front seat folds down which gives me versatility. For being an older vehicle, it has been very durable with minimal repair needed. It's easy to drive and park.
