  • I bought an HHR because of the unique styling that I never get tired of- it's different. There's so many cars these days that are so boring to look at. People that say it is ugly is just an opinion. To me a Toyota Prius is ugly.

  • "on the inside, you have common features that we see without in the sport compact uhhh cars."

  • HHR's are seriously ugly as hell. Ever since they came out I was like, "Chevy... what the fuck were you thinking??"

  • @5gretsch to snatch kids and get away faster

  • 0:31 voice crack

  • This review guy sucks more balls than Richard Simmons at a ball buffet. I like the cars, I'd drive the balls off of them. The Cobalt SS can be pretty sick, believe it or not.

  • This guy sounds like he was forced to do this and doesn't give a flying fuck about either car. Fire this guy.

  • It's Daryn Jones! LOL

  • CARS.COM just cant seem to find a good person to review cars. Think less encyclopedia/factual review and more Jeremy Clarkson.

  • @5gretsch lol! Well played sir.

  • Lolwut? WTH just happened...

  • True facts....however, you forgot to mention one thing..... given the same engine in both cars the HHR weights something like 300 lbs more than the cobalt......that will slow your acceleration and handling.

  • I think that large BMW suv at 1:40 can move faster than the HHR for fucks sake these review are for people who only know that the wheels on the bus go round and round...

  • So Enthusiastic!!

  • This review sucks. Must be an intern.

  • You're comparing a 2-door coupe to a 4-door small crossover vehicle? Good job, cars.com. You just put two cars of completely different size and performance classes together in a comparison review. What a waste of time.

  • My dad has an 08 HHR SS and he is 6' 4 inches our HHR has an upgraded exhaust and a few engine, suspension and transmission upgrades that cost him an extra 3000- 5000 dollars but the visibility is fine.

  • IN SIDE THE HHR LOOKS LIKE SHIT.

  • love how they just pulled some random off the street and said here review these cars> this guys doesn't know fuck all about these cars outside what he read in the brochure lol

  • who likes these cars?? cobalt is juz NEON on steroid... HHR is are for small people..

  • @tzikinini No, a Cobalt SS is a Cobalt on steroids as a Neon SRT4 is a Neon on steroids, and the HHR is just a terrible car in general. Both are awful.

  • @Nebraskahusker23 ... bottom line, these cars suck... not the kind of cars I will thrown money on..

  • @tzikinini I agree 100%. Just because it's fast doesn't mean it's a nice car. A Cobalt will always be a Cobalt and a Neon will always be a Neon, there's nothing you can do to change that fact.

  • This is one of the MOST BORING car reviews I've ever seen. He seems like he'd rather be sitting behind a desk than making people interested in cars.

  • Review was horrible, but you also forgot to mentioned is that when you sit down in this vehicles is like getting hit with a black plastic bat.

  • Very good review. Thank you.

  • sport suspension? my ass

  • good god this was a lame review

  • wow why would you even bother comparing these..

    same frame

    same engine

    different body

    no shit...

  • The HHR SS needs more colors!

  • 0:20 - 0:23 made me jizzzzzz

  • ....seriously. i can't get 3:25 of my life back, this is just stupid. come on, you basically said some stuff about the Cobalt and repeated it for the HHR. Do you even really know cars?

  • '

    NO thank,,,

    i dont like both cars,,,

    both are not good and not safely

  • @bestamerica actually, the HHR has a 5 star crash rating for the front, rear, and sides, and 4 stars for a rollover accident. it also has OnStar, which is a plus. they're both very safe and economical, you just want an excuse to not like them. but that's my personal opinion, we're all entitled to our own. :)

  • ZeroGal5,

    '

    thank for explain,,,

    good for crash test pass,,,

    but another design is not good

  • @bestamerica no prob. :) every car looks good to some people, and bad to others. it all depends on someone's taste. i don't blame you for not liking the HHR, a couple people have called my HHR ugly before. it's for people with a certain taste in retro things i suppose. :)

  • ZeroGal5,

    '

    hi there,,,

    thank explain,,,

    i am still not like both cars because of no have 2 amber yellow lights on rear taillights,,,

    wrong design gas in hole on the right side passager side

  • @bestamerica oh, i see. what ever floats your boat i suppose, lol. :)

  • ZeroGal5,

    '

    hi there,,,

    dont use a word - YOUR - on me,,,

    i dont have a boat,,,

    haha a boat do not have any taillight at all,,,

    only hold a flashlight and boat own lights

  • @bestamerica oh no, i know boats don't have taillights (i would know, i'm in college to become a yacht designer), it's just a figure of speech. it means what ever works for you, lol.

  • ZeroGal5,

    '

    wow that is a great for you at school about art of vehicle BOAT time,,,

    i did watched on tv LOVEBOAT in long time ago

  • How can he compare a cobalt SS with an HHR SS that makes no sense... Epic Fail review OMG....

  • Fail.

  • A Call to Apathy here...

  • I could do a better review on a fuckin sandwich than this dude

  • the colors look kinda tacky , lmao this guy is such a chode

  • He said things I could have figured out just by looking at the two cars......

  • no they don't have the same performance capabilities! not at all! its a 5 door family wagon to a 2 door coupe!

  • the HHR SS is a kinda cool lookin vehicle, I still like the cobalt more tho..

  • This guy seems really nervous. Was it his first review? He really needs to calm down a little bit, and learn to enunciate.

  • You idiots stop complaining already, my 405 hp v8 engine swap honda civic lx 2000, 4door rear wheel drive is my ultimate sleeper, it'l smack any 30k car. I spent 16 thou on it and I have never been beat. even smack a 1200cc Katana....

  • @Shimlar7 ok well first of all your about 14 years old look at your gay picture lets get real here you dont even own a car let alone know how to drop a v8 in a civic... you have no proof of this masterpiece and your about the biggest loser on youtube but that was a nice try there fast and the furious

  • @Shimlar7 FUCK your honda! You're comparing cubic centimeters to cubic inches. lol. Go put your moms camry back in the garage before she notices it missing.

  • my 2010 chevy shortbox would rape that bitch im rockin 403-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 out the box and 632 now that its superchargeed.

  • this presenter SUCKED!!!!! they told important about the car. and what a boreing way to present a car. he stumbled over his words like none other!!!! what qualification does he have? way to make these two hot cars seem boring!!! what a shame!!!

  • HA fuck the chevys look at that beautiful bmw X5 at 1:40 behind the hhr ss.

  • omg i was gonna go see a hhr-ss but that interior?  UGGGH!! you just cant get it rite can you gm :( i'll keep my 99 blazer thanks

  • whoever was saying that the civic si can whoop the ss cobalt i will meet you anytime any where and meet you with my stock ls cobalt that whoops si's all day long as for the neon's slow as hell also cobalt is 10X better

  • check out my vid of me killing my brothers si in my sssc =D

  • Sorry, but your cobalt LS doesn't run high 14's, so how could it beat an SI?

  • a stock ls cobalt? lol id take you. lemme remove my mods first. the only cobalts that can beat a 06+civic si is the forced induction models. no N/A ss comes close stock for stock.

  • ok man you in Oklahoma? if so i will meat you and prove this fact to you. the civic si will probably beat the cobalt in the long run but the cobalt will keep up if not beat the si any day!

  • why do you think the SS n/a is fast? lol. unless you modded it out the ass its not gunna win unless i fuck up. at least your not as bad as tiburon owners.... they claim the tiburon SE is better than a civic si too. lol

  • ok here is why i think my LS BASE COBALT can beat your si i have a friend who owns a si and i keep up if not beat him all day long. so i know for a fact that any other cobalt can do so as well. as long as the driver knows what he is doing!

  • lol. ill embarrass you if we raced. its probably because the guy in the SI cant drive worth crap. i mean 197 hp vs what, 170? not only that but the si has better gearing and an lsd. a cobalt SS n/a cant beat an si. and personally ive beaten a SS/SC by a fender. and im lightly modded.

  • @camrun91.... You know the REALLY funny thing about your comment is your lack of spelling.... I will "MEAT" you and spank your Civic with my 2.0T Volkswagen Passat! ENJOY!!!

  • widowedeight: That makes no sense. "with a tune it will walk a stock SRT-4?.. Perhaps." But if stock, it's slower naturally. The fact that u'd have to tune it to give it an edge just messes your comment straight up :S This reviewer isn't very experienced either probably reading from cue cards lol. Personally I dont pick favorites though the Caliber and the Cobalt are very nice cars in their own ways :) ppl dont really read what they post either then get all defensive when brought up lol.

  • this was a terrible review

  • i lost track on how many times he said uhhhh.

  • You kidding me, show how much Mopar dick you have swallowed in your day. This car is beyond your piece of shit Caliber. Next shoot yourself before making a comment as idiotic as that.

  • That hhr should get an update in the style department...it looks like an old car. Very outdated looking. The cavalier looks more like something a slutty 16 year old girl would drive. I bet the seats fold flat for her to pick up truck drivers too. Both cars are junk! Do they both come with small sized rubbers in the glove box for amerikan truck drivers?

  • What the fuck are you talking about, dipshit? Really, none of that made any sense.

  • terrible reviewer.

  • Comment removed

  • A V4? I thought it was an inline 4 cyllinder

  • ur an idiot it shows in the vid its an inline 4 i dont even think any car manufacters make a v4

  • Count how many times he says ughhhhh. terrible presenter

  • jesus this guy is horrible. if said uh one more time im gonna come through the computer lol.

    side note...second gen cobalt ss fuckin blows. first gen ftw.

  • why? do you even know the difference?

  • yes dumbass lol I own an ss supercharged...so dont you think an owner might know the difference?

  • theres only one gen.

  • o nvm you said cobalt ss. so i guess ur talking about the supercharged and the turbocharged. turbocharged ss is faster.

  • I really dont think so...Ive driven both, ive worked on both, and ive raced both side by side...the supercharged one is faster because of the turbo lag. It IS faster over a long distance but the ss supercharged will take a turbo in the 8th and a good driver can take it in the quarter...seen it done.

  • yea i was a fan of the supercharged too.

  • Im actually buying (slowly unfortunately lol) the 2.8 pulley 60lb injectors intake and exhaust. not trying to make something out of it that it isnt lol but i want to make it a little more aggressive.

  • way faster, way better handling, way more responsive to mods.... o yeah and way faster

  • i just looked at some of your comments on other vids you mopar fanboy lol with a tune this car WALKS EVERY STOCK SRT CAR except the viper obviously bone stock it destroys stock caliber srt-4's and neon srt-4's lol

  • The Supercharged Cobalt is a piece of shit compared to the Turbocharged Cobalt. The Turbocharged one has 55 more horsepower. Go figure.

  • I'd be so happy to show you on the line.

  • One of the BEST cars ever made!! Wait for the Stage kits and aftermarket!! Already have Cobalts running in the 12's with some basic bolt on swaps and a tune!

    People dont buy these cars for the nice leather and wood dash interiors.

    Performance... nough said.

    Nicely done GM! Waiting on the Stage I Kit!

  • lol why would anyone buy one of these cars. Get a job and buy a real car.

  • why would anyone listen to you...i own a cobalt SS and it will probably outrun and out handle anything you own....

  • Why would I make such a comment if I didn't personally own cars that were much faster than that shitcan?

  • cause i own one of them and i know its not a shitcan and your a fuckin hater....Dont make comments you know nothing about when you think the car is a shitcan..Again i own one of these and its fast its reliable and its faster than your K car

  • that guy is sooo boring... the cars where kinda cool but it was hard to watch!

  • lmao

  • Bet he drives a Prius!

  • I think the Red and black interior on the HHR SS looks good.

  • This guy should not state his opinion of anything. He should report the numbers and show what it looks like. This guy is obviously not a Chevy fan. Maybe his civic got raped by a Camaro the night before and he is just against a Chevy. He is lame to say the least. It's like blah blah blah.....blah blah blah....blah. What a ignorant mouthpiece.

  • Wow this guy is so boring. They need to fire him

  • This dude is lame. Where is the enthusiasm???

  • they didnt make a 08 ss... they had a S... sport POS they stopped making the SC in 07 and started the turbo in 09... these guys are credible...

  • dude im not sure where you get your information but it is an SS not an "S". and they started the turbo production in 08. not 09

  • end of 08 they realsed the tc version

  • ya end of 08 released as a 2009 model

  • definatly came out with turbo in 08

  • i didn't even know they made an SS HHR.

  • Same here.

  • This guy is a tool. A car review should be...

    a car enthusiast.

    "uhh... uh.... uhmmmm... uhmmm..."

    stop talking and learn how to speak.

    Stuttering buffoon.

  • I hope you never listen to any of Obamas off prompter speeches!

  • i don't listen to obama, period ;)

    i'm not a fan of him. lol.

    i must say though, at least he's making efforts that he said he would/

  • I liek the way the HHR SS looks, but still though if your going to buy a car to modefy and tune looks somewhere else

  • The HHR with windows is lame, the panel side 09 SS looks alot better

  • What is the 0 to 60 mph time of the Chevy HHr automatic? He said they make an automatic. for the Chevy HHR, but the power came down. I

  • If I got 23K dollars to spent in this market in the US. It won't be a car. How about a place to live or even have food on the table for the family???

  • T Hurley: You make a lot of sense! These cars are expensive toys. If you already have a car that runs pretty good, and the repair bills aren't bad, just keep what you got, and save your hard earned money!

  • it is statements like this is why the auto industries are going down.but u cant do anything about it in this economy .

  • Check out my version of the HHR SS.

    I did a photoshop rebuild that includes shaved handles, body drop, shaved side markers, and best of all a 2 door conversion!

  • These cars are awesome I just wish they put on louder dual exhaust like the neon SRT4. I always liked how the SRT4 popped and rumbled when you let off the gas. Yeah yeah I know it's a stupid complaint but w/e.

  • This guy is a fuckin door knob he cant even speak clearly

  • yah you can get the cobalt ss with an automatic tranny.

  • Unfortunately, I don't think they make the

    Cobalt SS, with an automatic transmission, at this point in time.

    At least that's what the salesman told my brother.

  • they better not make it in damn automatic

  • Amen, learn to drive stick

  • i´m from germany so it´s hard to get an cobalt ss, but if i earned enough money i´ll get one.

    lovin´ taht car

  • The Cobalt SS is awesome

  • can u get the cobalt ss in automatic trans.

  • 5 speed only.

  • wrong

  • ok SORRY 2008/2009 the only worth while years came with a 5 speed manual ONLY

  • wrong agian actually LOL

  • Actually the cobalt SS does only come with a manual transmission and no automatic. HHRs however do have an automatic, and truthfully, the HHR destroys the Cobalt. I've raced a fully loaded Cobalt SS and i beat it by at least 1.5 seconds.

  • lmao no way dude. I'm not saying your a good driver or anything but that race had to be total drivers fault. The cars have the exact same engine but the ss has the suspension, no life shift, and launch control. The only way you did that was if it was the old cobalt ss that wasnt s/c or t/c just no way.

  • I would have liked the cobalt with an awd, and the hhr is ugly

  • well ur an asshole, cuz i own a cobalt ss so u can go and suck some balls

  • but yet the cobalt has smoked every car in its class and some not in its class

  • well damn, next time i take a shit im reachin in and keepin it if it has 260hp and goes from 0-60 in about 5 seconds

  • i'd go with the hhr. I could make it look extra sexy haha

  • GM is the best automotive manufacturer, I dont know why everyone thinks the Japs make the best cars, especially when they dont know anything about cars

  • Seriously why is it that all these "Journalists" that make these videos seem so bored with the cars? Can we please get our information from people that actually want to talk about the cars? Its seems like all these guys are just doing this as a stepping stone, why not get a few guys/girls that actually want to just talk about cars and play around with them on the track for a career? Watch the guys on Top Gear and 5th gear, they're true Journalists but they're also auto enthusiasts.

  • yup! ahh! umm! GONE!!!

  • My 2008 Civic Si would beat that piece of shit

  • .....i see that im not the only true Civic Si guy here........well said dude..

  • stop being a hardass because you have a cute little "i-vtec"

  • ok......i'll take the one........but we'll see where those "bad ass" cars are in 5 years..........let see if they survive the time.....and i'll still have my cute little "i-vtec" thats been hustling since 1965....and still the king of the import and sport compact segment.........so yes, i'll take ur comment..........we'll see........we'll see

  • dude you are such a tool seriously all you do is talk shit. the SS TC will smoke a civic si, read Motor Trend's March Issue. The si doesnt compare to the SS

  • If the SI had the same turbo as the SS it would have more power bitch

  • you've made that argument, and we've shut it down.

  • Comment removed

  • dude.......260+hp wont impress anybody here......dodge came out with the neon srt whatever with big turbo and power....and look now.....faded, gone, absolete....civic still alive.....just because a car has big power doesnt make it good...look at the 06 GTO...best deal for the buck...its dead...400+hp and dead....so land dude...ur beloved " super compacts" wont go far...time tells wats real and wats not...any car company car slap a big turbo into a car, but bcause of that.....it is good?

  • you're right, any car company can, but honda bitches out in that category. i never once said hondas arent good cars, it's hardasses like you that give them a bad name. what's makes you talk shit on american cars? they were top in the world at one time, and theyre working on getting to the op again. and do understand that i love imports, my family owns a lexus and an audi as well, and i almost got a mugen si, but i didnt like the way everyone who has hondas talk so much shit. seriously chill.

  • hey no hating bro.......i wish honda would put more power and torque into the i-vec engine.......all im saying is......people talk about these new toys from GM like, they here to smoke even corvettes and shelbys.....and like i said its easy for a manufaturer to turboa car.......i can do that. $3g's on my civic and i have 250+hp and 200+ lbs of torque....easy right....but what the pride? no body can claim wat honda has done with the 2.0 engine....258hp out of a 2.0 engine? no turbo? thats pride

  • what honda motor has 258 out of a stock 4 cylinder?

  • what about the corvette engine? 16 valve pushrod V-8 on the zo6? 505hp? i think thats pretty good.

  • yea. havent you all heard of the problem honda had with their transmissions? all going out and fucking up? they had a HUGE recall. They fucked up BAD with that. WHen the japs fuck up no one hears about it, but if an American brand makes a little mistake like the fuel cap being lose on several...oh i dunno...aveos..the media is ALL over it...fucking bastards!

  • the neon was pretty much replaced with the caliber which is A LOT like the HHR, only the HHR is better with overall quality, power and design.

  • That's not saying much about the HHR since the Caliber sucks

  • first of all im not the author...i dont know if u can read or not but it says "COMMENT REMOVED BY AUTHOR" so next time read before you start asking stupid questions.

  • GM and Chrysler suck dick Ford doesn't need a handout

  • Yha because it got one before GM and Chrysler ever needed one, They hit problems first, they suck balls.

  • Did they try to shoot this all in one take? I own an 07' Cobalt S/C and was interested in this video, somehow this guy managed to make me stop watching :(

  • This guy is a horrible public speaker. He sounded like he couldn't care less about what he was talking about, and stumbled through simple features lists with a shitton of 'umm.. ahhhs'. Yikes.

  • they need to get rid of that faggot

  • this guy sounds like he couldn't give a shit less about what he is talking about

  • This guy is a tool.

  • lol i was so close to posting the exact same thing

  • The new Cobalt SS shames all the other front wheel drive devils available right now. Period.

    And I own a GTI.

    For an example, the SS racked up 0.92 G (according to R&T magazine) in the skidpad. This is comparable to sports cars costing 3 times as much. Chevy deserves a pat on the back.
