The HHR's transmission is geared for acceleration, at least. The PT Cruiser I drove had acceleration that was acceptable for a 4 cyl in a heavy car, right into 3rd gear. What were they thinking? On the PT, it shifts into 3rd at 60, but it is only pulling ~4K rpms! The motor is just dogging, I couldn't get it above 70 going uphill. Good luck passing anyone above 60 in a PT, at least the HHR was geared properly.
The Manuals arent TOOO bad. Course im used to a 95 Z28 LT4 mod. My best friend stole my Maro one night and gave me her HHR to follow her. It wasnt bad for a 2.2. She wasnt used to my Maro. She looked down and was doing 85....in a 45 LOL
I always try to defend my hhr when people call it a slow car but I understand why they say so. The automatics are just painstakingly slow. I'm really lucky I picked up one of the few manuals out there.
If you ever get the displeasure of getting inside of an HHR look at the RPM gauage from an angle...its paper thin and so is the needle...like a PT Loser except less quality...if thats possible.
The HHR was another dumb ass move by GM. Tryin' to copy the PT Cruiser which looks like shit anyways. Yo man you are better off getting a Honda Civic. These things were not made for 0-60 times.
You know which engine this is? We got a HHR LT, i'm pretty sure it's got the 2.4 in it, it's still slow but not as slow as this one. I'll get a video soon of a 0-60, or some racing, if i find anything it can keep up with lol
It was an LT with the 2.4 (ecotect or something). Go ahead with your 0 - 60. I will like to compare. At least you like the HHRs. I find them beautiful (not fast, even the SS). If i had one i would do some big mods on it. This was a rental.
@uakronsam116 Well, on the trunk door it has an "LT" logo and if i check on Chevy's web site, the LT is 2.4. I remember i opened the hood and i can only remeber an "Ecotec" or something, but i would put my hands on fire and say it is 2.4 but i'm almost sure.
@uakronsam116 Well, i was reading my comment and what i meant to say is that i would NOT put my hand on fire to say it is 2.4. By the way thanks for the info. I like this HHR very much. If someday i get one, i would get an SS
Well I have the SS and if you go check out my vids I do 0-60 between 5.5 and 5.8 depending on my launch! The whole 7 seconds they say in the mags are lies. Mine is the auto too! See for yourself.
Uh no it is not. You're thinking of the SS not this. This is like the lt 2.2 or something. Watch my vid of 0-105 and see what an hhr ss can do. N btw its auto and does 0-60 in 5.8seconds!
actually the guy who designed the PT Cruise designed the HHR and the new Malibu. Chevy offered him a higher salary if he designed a car that could out perform/sell the PT Cruiser. the guy's name is Bryan Nesbitt. he now heads Cadillac's premium devision.
looking to buy a fast car is pointless, because theres always someone who will have a faster car than you, unless you can shell out 1.2 mill for a veyron or a ssc aero.
Would you want to take a million dollar car out and really give it it's all risking totalling it? Not me I don't have to have the veyron speed to get my adrenaline going. If I was a billionaire maybe just because it's a great car but not to go speeding everywhere in
No. Tires alone cost $70,000. A Veyron is for billionares.
They say the Average lotto winner is broke within 10 years. Think about it. Lets say you win the lottery and buy a car like a Ferrari 430 for $300,000. Getting it serviced every 10,000 miles cost $30,000 insurance is $20,000 a year. So lets say you buy 5 Ferraris that lotto jack pot will go fast. I'll stick to a Zr1 Vette and a Hummer H1 (the good one ) =P if I win =)
Sometimes its not about going fast and its all about the curb appeal. Most people who have Ferraris just like the prestige and yeah someone will always be fasterthen you even if you have a Veyron that pesky Hayabusa still might beat you especially if its modded.
car isnt suppose to be fast, its suppose to be a nice looking practical car. stick a pair of subs in there black it out, and then its a fucking nice ass car. if u wana go fast for 10g's get a fuckin bike that will go 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.
Cool, I am not trying to bash the car, sorry if I came off that way. I think the gauges are very nice, and the car is probably fun to drive. I just didn't understand why you posted a gauge view of the car from 0-60, thought you were bragging that the car was fast or something. Sorry to sound like a jerk, good luck with the car.
Don´t worry about it. My intention posting the video is not trying to show how fast it is. Just as comparison material to other cars. Is not even my car, it was a rental, and i know is not fast, but is the type of cars you like or you hate, and i like it. Thnks for your comments!
By no means is it the nicest, smoothest, most luxurious, fastest, sportiest, most exotic, best handling, best looking, best sounding or most fuel efficient car in the world...
Maybe you started with full throttle. In this video i didn't step full on the pedal at the beginning to avoid the slight tire spin. I know is not a good idea to achieve acceration considering the ridiculous tire spin but i did this video on a forgein country near a cop, so...

0-60 of your mph is not 0-100 of our kmh precisly but 96.56 kmh
And in a chrono where 1/4 of second is important to see, it is essential to say that ^^ :-)
cumbas 11 months ago
My car for example made 5.5s for a 0-100 KMH but only 4.22s for your 0-60 MPH ^^
thus this chrono there is not for our 0-100 kmh but ONLY for your 0-60 mph & your chrono for a real 0-100 kmh is longer
if you want calculate a true 0-100 kmh see your chrono at 63 mph or 62.14 mhp precisly ^^
