  • not so great H3 - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Engine is way too weak for a truck this size 3.5 l. 5cyl its a JOKE!!! This truck is clearly made for women driving to and from grocery stores Every single friend of mine who was driving my H3 is saying same thing great handling more like a car not truck, quiet and comfy inside, good looking interior but engine is so weak !!! beige leather got dirty after two weeks of driving ( Im driving to work 22.5 miles one way) probably because my black leather belt and jeans believe me Im using AC and Im not over weighted & 200lb. (by the way enough space inside to get in and out)

  • 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.

    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.

  • Why buy any other - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    The H-3 thus far has been an exceptional vehicle to drive. I recently completed a 1400 mile road trip in my new Hummer and it was fantastic.I just wish it had more cargo room.

  • My Humvee - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I am thoroughly enjoying this vehicle. I read 89 reviews at this website and only saw a few unhappy customers. Most of those expected the power of an H2. I havent had mine very long, but it certainly meets all my needs.

  • Great Vehicle - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I have to say that owning this vehicle has been even more fun than I imagined. Good looks, nice interior, a solid build quality and just an overall good value. I have yet to drive a vehicle that I didnt think could use improvements and this one is no exception. I find it a bit difficult to adjust the seat due to the tight placement of the controls. Its a minor annoyance because I rarely adjust the seat. As far as the "power" issue is concerned, this powertrain works well for me. It tows my jet boat without a problem and the pickup (for me) is more than adequate. If an upgraded engine was available I would keep the extra money in my pocket.money.

  • I Love My H3 - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    In the vehicle review it says that a Jeep owner would not trade their "Hemi" for the H3, I did. I love my H3. It is comfortable it handles curves better than my Jeep did. It may not be the fastest at take offs but it isnt a sports car its a sports utility vehicle. After driving the H3 I dont think I will ever go back to Jeep. And I have been a Jeep owner since 1998. I Love It!!

  • best suv that i ever owned - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I previously owned 2 jeep grand cherokee. The hummer performance off road and on road is way better than the jeep. I am not looking for speed and the gas mileage is better than the jeep. Comfort off road is excellent much better than the jeep.
