  • 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.

    The H3 is a blast to drive, especially off-road. Ive driven it through 2 feet of water and mud and it just kept on chugging. The engine could use a little more power but it is adequate for the H3. The turning radius is unbelievable. The interior is fantastic with plenty of room. The drivers view is excellent. The sunroof is extremely large. The H3 can be a little tricky to get in and out of due to its height so a step-up bar may be necessary. Overall, definitely a 10. Hummer has a winner on its hands.

  • Big and Bold! - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Hummer is one of the best vehicle I drove, I had Explorer,Pathfinder,and Mountineer as 4x4 vehicles. HUMMER provided the best comfort and road respect! I fixed xenon lights and some stickers in the side to make it more appealing. I love this vehicle. Had some squeaks in the rear wheels and front right wheel. Only while turning the vehicle. Lack of power is an issue. No! Actually it is a big issue. Giving the consideration to the 5 cylinder Engine it is forgivable. 2009 Alpha would be better with V8, but then it is far too expensive. Strangely I liked the fabric seats better than leather. Almost all American vehicles have this arrogance and haughtiness. Hummer also not an exception!

    The hummer is great , i drove it 2 feet of flooded areas and it never hyrdoplaned, nor did water get in! It has so far passed every test i gave it i am waiting for the snow! My hummer is still fairly new!! But so far so good, the off road suspension is great!

    The H3 is a homerun for GM

  • Hummin a Little Tune - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    This is the best Factory offroad vehicle in production next to the Jeep Rubicon. I have the Lux package with the OffRoad option. The aftermartket is sure to jump on the upgrades and everybody can personalize to there own likes. I am 61" tall and have no trouble with leg room. The back seat is roomy enough with the drivers seat all the way back for a 58" passenger to sit with their knees just touching the back of the seat. GM/Hummer will sell alot of these great Midsized offroad SUVs. The ride is very comfortable on the street and you feel very safe in this vehicle.

  • H3 Hummer is great! - 2006 Hummer H3

    The Hummer H3 is a great suv rides and handles very good.The only thing that could have been better was it really needs a bigger engine.

  • Perfect size 4 me - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    I recently purchased an H3 and love it. My biggest concern was that it would be too big of a car for me to drive being that I am only 4 11 and have always driven small cars. I had been doing research on SUVs but never imagined a Hummer. Once I test drove it I was convinced, it is easy to maneuver and feels very light weight. I will however have to have side runners installed so that I can get in and out much easier. This is a perfect beach automobile. Oh yeah....my husband really likes it too.

  • Needs V8 - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    Test drove H3 and as I expected, way underpowered. I am a V8 kind of guy and a truck as heavy as this needs alot more than a 5 cylinder with HP and torque in the low 200s. Will consider purchase when a real engine is put in vehicle.

  • Attention getter! - 2006 Hummer H3
    By -

    This SUT is a real attention getter! Everywhere I go people stop me and ask about it. Ive taken it on a 200 mile road trip and driven it in city traffic. So far, it has been a blast. I was not sure what I was getting into when I bought it. I read the reviews about the lack of power. Ive found it to be fine on the highway. Ive hit passing gear a couple of times with no issues. In a perfect world it would have more power, but at this point Im not ready to give up the gas mileage. The four wheel disc brakes stop on a dime. I hate to admit it, but I have already found this out first hand.
