  • HUMMER Heaven! - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    We love our Hummer! We cant believe how many looks we get while driving this H3! People actually stop and point and ask us about our Hummer every time we drive it. Were getting about 19 mpg, which is unbelievable given the huge size of this SUV! Our H3 performs great and the turning radius is fantastic. After driving this car, we will never buy anything else! We are now HUMMER collectors!

    Dont let the size of this SUV fool you! It has the smoothest ride. I absolutely love the interior of it. It is roomy and has cargo space in the back. You can even let down the back seats to make more space. I won a RED H3 and everywhere I go, people are complimenting me on this. It is the smallest of the Hummers, but it still has that hummer look, with a better gas mileage!

  • Sorry I Bought H3 - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I bought my Hummer on a Saturday and it was in the shop the following Thursday. Countless electrical problems from traction control sensors to interior lights illuminating when the brakes were applied. The truck has been towed in to the dealership 5 times because it fails to start. Its been in the shop over 22 days and the dealer cant determine what causes the problem.We just experienced our first significant snow fall here in NJ and my H3 was in the shop. I am in the process of filing for relief under NJ Lemon Law. GMs response has been luke warm at best. Bottom line not a vehicle I would recommend, not even to my worst enemy

  • My First Hummer (GM) - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    After owning my H3 for a little more than 5 months I thought I would give my 2 cents worth. I can only tell you that it is a very fun vehicle to drive and that it makes my previous vehicle a 2001 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab feel like a toy. The gas mileage has been from 19.4 to 17.1 on the low side. I have not had it off road yet but, have driven it in some icy conditions and it handled beautifully! As for blind spots, it does have them , you just have to learn how to use your mirrors.Overall, I am very pleased with my first GM product.

  • H3 Problems - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    My H3 has been in the shop 4 times with the same gasket leaking problem, now its in the shop again. Why? cause its leaking again, in the same spot, and now it formed another leak this time under the middle of the truck. It only has 7,000 miles on it, and it has never been four wheeling.

    We love it. Its great off road, fun to drive, pulls a 19 travel trailer, and it will plow thru 3 feet of snow with very little effort. It is a very stable and safe vehicle. Thinking of buying another one. It truly is a little monster.

  • Impressive! - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Am approaching 13k miles. Excellent vehicle overall. Only minor problems: head needed replacing for rough idle and squeak from front suspension. Its a fun vehicle to drive and can climb over curbs & medians with ease. Very comfortable seats. Quiet. Feels beefy with suspension muscle. My kids love the dual DVD and we get lots of compliments. Am a BMW driver and was looking for something different the H3 definitely fulfilled that desire. Highly recommended vehicle. Just dont expect a powerful engine and performance around corners.

  • Overall - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Im very pleased with my H-3. Its a little under powered, but with all the gears its fine. I wish they had beefed up the front end a little. Tie rods look small and worry they may break under heavy offroading. Bigger motor would have been nice, but the mileage would have been a lot worst.

    I love my vehicle, I did have an engine problem that was resolved .It is great in the snow and handles well..Visibility is less than I expected..overall..very nice vehicle.would like to see a diesel offered.

  • One of the best SUVs I haved owned - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I purchased my H3 in the summer of 2006. I thought I should wait at least a year before I could give any proper praise or criticism of the H3. I primarily used it for driving in snow conditions on my way to ski. Its quite nice to be waived through when chain restrictions are required of other cars in heavy snowfall. I have also used it extensively on Camping trips to National Parks and Forests, where some of the roads are extremely poor. The vehicles off road abilities far surpass any of the other SUVs I have owned, both foreign or domestic makes. The H3 seems to be at home in off road conditions. I dont worry about road conditions in National Forests like I would have in my 4Runner.
