  • Hummer time - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I bought a 06 h3 adventure package with 80k miles on it and was surprised at how well it rode and performed with the mileage it had. Every one gave me hell about having a hummer but I loved it. Driving it makes you feel like a kid driving a tonka toy. The Mpgs where average for its class 18-22 mixed driving. It was comfortable on short and long drives. It never gave me any issues and it never got me stuck off road. If your debating between an h3 or a wrangler, get a h3. You get more for the money and insurance is less. You get better Mpgs and a nice comfy ride when youre not plowing through the woods or mountains. Its a solid ride.

  • Road King - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Whether your on the highway or on a dirt road this hummer h3 is a road king. I love my 2006 Hummer H3 Luxury. From the heated leather seats to the big open sunroof, this is one amazing vehicle. Its not a car, its not a truck, its not like any other SUV, its "like nothing else." Go any where, do any thing, they completely make an average trip a real adventure. If you like the outdoors, camping, getting away into the wilderness and dont mind getting stares from bystanders on the street, youll love the H3.

  • Nothing Comes Close - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Bought the vehicle used but fell in love with it ever since I test drove it. No other SUV will give you more driving power than the Hummer. Its certainly a head turner and no doubt be ruling the lanes (if you signal and make a lane change) cars beside you will yield to you (Thats the fun part of it). Though I have had some problems with the sun roof drainage system which gets clogged when you go off road and cause a mess INSIDE the passenger side and gets it all wet. But you can clean it out easily with low pressure air blown at it. definitely an envy during the winter or winter storm season. Every vehicle gets stuck will wish to be in your ride.

  • Great Little SUV - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Bought our H3 in July 2006. Have both loved and hated it at times. It is flawless in snow and mud..goes anywhere you want. While it has been dependable, it has also been irritating at times. The passenger compartment is too cramped. It is a fight to get my arm between the seat and the door to adjust the seat. The heated seat buttons are hard to reach on bottom of seat. It would have been so much better to have them on the dash. A baby seat behind my wifes seat barely leaves her enough room to be comfortable, knees on dash. Despite negative comments, we both still like it. We have rescued stranded friends and pulled tree stumps out of yards with no problems. We would buy it again.

  • SO FAR SO GOOD - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Purchased the 2006 h3 last month used with 22,000 miles on it. Its fun to drive, great looks, and for having a 5 cylinder engine, does a great job for handling its size. I did not have this for a very long time, but its doing well. This is not intended for racing, but for normal driving.

  • fun ride - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Bought used 44,000 miles. Put on k&n aircleaner, e3 spark plugs, up graded exhaust. Drove den to ill 75 to 85 miles per hr got 18 1/2 miles to gal. I think very good for the speed. Handled great Nice ride. Takes a little to get use to the low window view. Window switches to far back. Could use a back up camera &back up warning system for safety.. Over all liked it. And am not a Chevy person.

  • Cramped. - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    For starters, I am 60", and 185LBS. The driver area is not suitable for taller, more built people. I feel cramped when I drive it. (I didnt choose this car, my parents did.) The windows are too small, the seats are hard to adjust, and the area is not spacious what so ever. The tiny 3.5 inline-5 doesnt perform to my expectations. Its slow, bulky, and when I go in the mud, it covers it in mud, (The mud flaps are a must). The CD player doesnt play homemade CDs, which really irritates me, so I must spend $300 on a new iPod. I am very disappointed with Hummer and GM for making this car so small. Really, you notice more Priuses when you drive it. I probably wont buy another Hummer again.

  • 3 year Owner of H3 - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I purchased my Hummer in August of 2006 and I have ZERO regrets to this day. I have had no mechanical problems or anything that needed major repair. I have enjoyed my H3 and I consider it a great buy. Regardless of what you hear about being a gas guzzler, my H3 gets approximately 14 mgp on a 20 gallon tank.

  • Would buy again - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I LOVE this vehicle. Yes, it does have a big blind spot but the mirrors make up for it. I love the oversized sunroof and the handling in snow and rain. Roomy enough for three car seats in back seat and love the room in the rear of the vehicle. Sluggish when accelerating and the MPG is low but overall I love it and would buy it again.

  • Luv it but... - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Love the vehicle. For a mid size SUV, its reasonable on gas and is aesthetically pleasing on the inside and out. A very smooth ride and although powerful on the highway, it lack passing power. It is spacious for the driver and passenger but a bit cramped on the back seats. I live in Toronto and so are winters are pretty brutal but a joke for the H3.
