  • Youve got to give up to be COOL - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I gave up the speed of a FX35 for the coolness of the H3 and havent looked back. I cant believe the attention this car gets. I have had people looking in the windows while I still inside on the phone. The kids in my neighborhood think it ROCKS. I cant keep my wife away from it. Power is the only downside, maybe they will come out with some supercharged upgrade. Then it would be perfect. Its as fun chroming this as it is my Harleys.

    I love it! There isnt anything about the H3 I dont like. Seems everywhere I go, other people love it as well. I have even been stopped by a policeman so he could check it out! Best vehicle I have ever owned. Will never go back to another type of SUV.

    We bought the vehicle 6 months ago and really enjoy the style because it has class. I am one that uses the FWD and it is hard to get stuck. I have owned seven FWDs and this one gets the best gas mileage and the most comfortable.The interior noise is very minimal and it has no bad blind spots. People seem to indentify this as a solid patriotic american vehicle. I own three thousand acres on the navajo reservation and have had to use the FWD many times including pulling other peoples SUVs out of the mud.

  • H3 in Biloxi. Mississippi - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I love my H3. It rides good on city streets with a little roughness on the freeway. But its an offroad vehicle and im happy with the performace. I have the chrome package and get looks from everyone. I love the OnStar / XM with the premimum sound and the DVD in the head rest keep my 2 yr old occupied. I am hooked on HUMMER now and look forward to upgrading to a more roomer H2 in the future.

  • Hummer Nation - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    This is my favorite automobile yet. It truly accomplishes what it was designed to do. Crawl, dig, pull, forge, or climb--this Hummer will get you where you want to go. On road performance is outstanding, it handles like a dream on the street. However, if youre looking for a dragster youre in the wrong place. Low-end torque is more than sufficient for getting around while I do agree that horsepower could be better for the highway. I recently saw kids playing with their H3 Happy Meal toys. I have been stopped on several occasions by kids saying "look ma, a Hummer!" The Hummer brand truly is an american icon- -I mean how many Toyotas do you see them stuffing into Happy Meals?

  • Best mid size SUV on the road - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I purchased my H3 in July, got to use my GM employee discount. I have been on road and off road with it with no problems what so ever. Fuel economy could be better but not bad for its size and weight. I still get a lot of questions from people about it every day. I tell them it is fun to drive and will get another one when my lease is over in 2 years.

  • my post repair review - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Last time I wrote I was annoyed at some technogly issues. The Hummer sevice people fixed them. Now I will objectively state the pros and cons of the H3 based on mine.The are pros good gas mileage for an SUV, show stopping looks , nice interior for GM , decent handling characteristics , roomy back seat, and the ride comfort of (I have ridden in both of these cars) a Lincoln Town Car and Cadillac Deville/DTS . The cons are not enough horse power and torque for sporty driving , getting to highway speeds easily, or towing, poor rearward visablity , and poor cargo room. I consider eather waiting for the SRT8 Jeep(45k). If you can afford it the Range Rover Supercharged(90k)the best SUV in the world

  • Hummin Along - 2006 Hummer H3

    I am extremely pleased with my new H3! I got it in black with the luxury package, sunroof, chrome wheels and chrome steps and trim package. I had shopped around and concluded the H3 with its current pricing is one of the very best values around in a rugged 4-wheel drive SUV. It handles incredibly well and is just plain fun to drive. My four daughters are now all "Hummer girls", and my wife, who at first was a tough sell, really likes it after driving it around town a few times. Highway mileage is as advertised - about 19 mpg which is fairly good for this type of vehicle. Im already planning on getting another one with the small block V-8 in 2008 when my lease is up.

  • No Regrets! - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    At 3 weeks new, an accident landed a several-thousand-pound wooden utility pole fell on the top of my H3. Car was totalled, but we walked away unscathed (and with remaining headroom to spare)! Former SUVs wouldnt have protected us that well. Good in rollovers? Id bet my life on it! Important.. get the chip and exhaust upgrade... it makes a huge difference in power. The next H3s on its way...No regrets!
