Love the hummer - 2006 Hummer H3
By jdicataldo - August 5 - 1:13 pmI owned a hummer h3 2006 for over 6 years. I drove over 150k miles on it. When I reached the 100k I took it to the mechanic asking to check it for any maintenance since the mileage of the car and basically just replaced the spark plugs. Nothing else. I change my first set of pads (brake pads, no rotors} on 110k miles on the front wheels, and on 130k miles on the rear wheels. Just had to believe but true. Sold it on 2013 with over 170k miles and running perfect. I missed it so much that I just bought my second h3 a month ago same year with just over 100k miles. Took it to the dealer to do whatever needed to have the peace of mind and runs incredible smooth (even better that my last one since I put four new Michelin on this one). Super smooth ride and very happy with it. I m just buying all the option that I used to have on my first one. I recommend this suv to anyone. The look is great, the comfort, the driving position, everything. Some complaint for poor visibility but with big rear mirrors as it has and back up camera that I added I feel very confident parking or anything. Not very powerful acceleration but small engine gives you better MPG so something has to give up. Anyway is enough power for everyday needs.

Best SUV Ive Owned - 2006 Hummer H3
By jusncsu - January 28 - 12:15 pmI own a 2006 H3 w/ adventure package. I bought the vehicle used in 2009 with approximately 30K miles and an existing factory warranty. Hands down this is the best SUV Ive ever owned. Its extremely comfortable, performs as needed and has been nothing but reliable. Ive never had anything other than routine maintenance performed (knock on wood). My only complaint (if I had to give one) is that it doesnt have a ton of cargo space. My wife and I didnt have any children when we bought the car. However, we recently had our second child, and with double strollers, etc. are in need of a bigger SUV. However, I am not going to trade or sell the H3 Ill be keeping it forever!

2006 Adventure Package - Love this Car!! - 2006 Hummer H3
By jusncsu - December 5 - 1:11 pmIve owned it for a few years now (did a great deal of research to ensure that I wasnt purchasing a lemon) and I love this car more and more the longer I own it. One of the commenters on here had a great point. Get it serviced at your Cadillac or GM dealership, and keep up the maintenance!! Ive heard a few comments regarding the lack of power/acceleration due to the size of the engine. This thing isnt a sports car! As others have said, it will easily get up to over 100mph. However, you shouldnt expect to get there in 6 seconds - who buys an SUV with that in mind?? Great car, Im keeping mine forever!!

American Collectors Item - 2006 Hummer H3
By ghostrider8 - July 18 - 12:14 amI was by a bank that Hummers are investments as the demand for Hummers is huge.The H3 has been a great, fun, rugged,strong & qaulity.The engine has pep in town,but most of the power is torque for pulling & climbing in hard terrain.Most that complain about them either have not taken proper care nor servced at a Cadillac or other GM desler.I had to cut off road in terrain that big 4x4 trucks could not go in,the H3 went through with no problems without even having to use 4 wheel drive.H3 is heavy & is designed to basically go anywhere,it is not a Ferrai,it is a Hummer built to in the harshes environment & it delivers.Open speed the H3 has no problem cruising at 100 mph.It is just cool.

The True All American SUV! - 2006 Hummer H3
By ghostrider8 - June 3 - 2:57 am(Note mine is automatic,online drop box only gave one option.)The style & design of the H3 is a head turner,it is unique,rugged,&can practically go any place. IF YOU BUY ONE, ONLY SERVICE IT A GM DEALER LIKE CADILLAC THAT DEALS WITH ESCULADES,BUT STAY OUT OF OIL LUBE & TUNE SHOP.The H3 is a fun vehicle to drive,has the most powerful A/C & Heater I have ever had.It is well built & reliable. They are now becoming some what of collectors items where Hummer Owners Clubs are growing & it has been speculated to be one vehicle that will increase in value.

WhosYourDaddy - 2006 Hummer H3
By highwinder - April 20 - 10:59 amThe HUMMER H3 is the single most capable and superior real-world SUV ever devised by mankind. Originating from military combat vehicles, the H3 fits on trails the H1 and H2 are too big for. The H3 has everything a Jeep Rubicon has, and has everything a Jeep Rubicon doesnt have, and all for the same price and gas mileage. Dont get me wrong, I like Jeeps- Ive driven them for decades. I get the "Jeep thing". Most H3 drivers do - weve been there and done that. But if Jeepers ever tried the "HUMMER THING", theyd never go back. Its the "Jeep Thing" on steroids, complete with stealing your girlfriend and not spilling my drink all over the leather while off-roading in style and comfort.

BEST SUV EVER! - 2006 Hummer H3
By maverick112 - January 2 - 3:11 amThe H3 is a collector item that is not only fun to drive,but looks cool.The 3.5L in-line 5 is a proven engine that has plenty of power,ver reliable,& you have to watch your speed because you will be at 100 mph cruising without even knowing it.I feel like I am driving a luxury tank & it is rugged & durable,but inside the cabin it is silent & smooth with great style.The fuel economy is actually pretty good for such a heavy 4x4 that if keep up with service,use synthetic fluids,& run high octane fuel from a name brand station,it improves fuel economy & performance.Hummer is the Rolls Royce of 4x4,where there is no place it cant go,stylish in town & the Lion off the road.It is the King of SUVs.

H3 THE ULTIMATE SUV - 2006 Hummer H3
By offroader92 - November 22 - 5:07 pmI have owned many SUVs & Jeeps & nothing compares to the H3 in style,reliability,design,durability & performance.There is no place the H3 cant go,it is tough and rugged with unique design.It gets great Gas Mileage campared to the much small Jeeps I have owned.The in-line 5 cyl. engine is very quite & smooth & on an adventure run,it cruised past 100 mph with no issues.It has a ton of torque power to climb & for off-roading fun.Our friend has one with 146k miles without a problem yet.I love the H3 & I have never owned a vehicle that gets so many compliments.It is just plain fun to drive & I plan to keep this for the long haul.I will not sell my H3,I plan to enjoy it as it will be a classic.

By ghostrider8 - October 3 - 12:38 amA very impressive off road SUV that is the utilimate SUV on the road.The engine is very reliable inline 5 cyl. Votec that I have seen H3s with 180k miles & still going.The look of the vehicle is awesome.The A/C is very high power & extremely cold.It has a rugged suspension,that feels like driving a military armored vehicle that is loaded with luxury.The turing ability will let you turn on a dime.It has a wow cool factor unlike any SUV on the road.The engine is very fuel effecient for being a 4x4 SUV that has a ton of torque power,put a high flow air filter & it will give a boost in power.It is vehicle that cruises smoothy & will get up to 70 pretty quickly for SUV size.It is a one of kind!
