2010 chevrolet hhr Professional Edmunds Review
Source: Edmunds

...Considering the extra performance the HHR SS powertrain offers, its turbocharged engine is surprisingly fuel-efficient, with EPA numbers of 21/29/24 mpg when mated to the five-speed manual (19/29/23 with the auto). Safety: Standard safety equipment for the 2010 Chevy HHR includes antilock front disc/rear drum brakes on LS and LT models and antilock four-wheel discs on the SS. Stability control and side curtain airbags are also standard, though front seat side-impact airbags aren't offered. GM's OnStar telematics system is also standard across the HHR model lineup. Despite the absence of those...

CarGurus' Review for 2010 chevrolet hhr

...Really, the only trim worth mentioning for the 2010 Chevrolet HHR is the SS.
With its turbocharged engine, sport suspension, and unique trim, no other trim offers the performance and quality that matches the price point.
If you don’t hate the way it looks, as so many do, get one now before the rumors of its replacement by the Chevrolet Orlando come true...

...electronic stability control, front and rear side-curtain air bags, tire-pressure monitoring, and standard OnStar with a year of basic service.

Why should I also consider these?

As the competition for boxy crossovers with tall roofs heats up, the 2010 Chevrolet HHR has a wide range of rivals now.

The PT Cruiser is also a versatile people/cargo hauler and has more useful passenger space than the HHR, but the Chrysler can’t match the HHR’s performance with the SS edition.

Base versions of the PT Cruiser ride and handle better than the HHR, however.

The Jeep Patriot is a little bit smaller overall, yet it offers all-wheel drive and its interior feels roomier; it's an ideal choice for city folks who want a lot of utility but will stay on-road.

The Scion xB is also a direct rival to the HHR, but it targets a more youthful, urban buyer.

Like the HHR, the xB isn’t as roomy inside for passengers as one might expect.

The Honda Element remains one of the best choices for those who have a lot of stuff to haul, though its small rear-hinged back doors aren't quite as friendly for backseat passengers.

 
2010 Honda Element
Ideally suited for a wide range of users with the common need to haul stuff, the 2010 Honda Element is a surprising fun and fuel-efficient.
 
2010 Jeep Patriot
The 2010 Jeep Patriot is unlike any other vehicle on the market, with good safety, a spacious interior, and city-friendly maneuverability, plus just enough Jeep-ness for weekend campers.
 
2010 Scion xB
The 2010 Scion xB has a lot of space, polarizing looks, and lots of safety features. It provides good value for those on a budget, trendy or not.
 
2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser
There's no more convertible, but if you want to be seen, the 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser still lends some novelty to everyday driving.
