Overview & Reviews

A new "Alpha" trim level debuts for the 2008 Hummer H3, giving the pudgy SUV what it needed most -- a serious infusion of power via a 5.3-liter V8. Other notable changes this year include standard side curtain airbags and the availability of a rearview camera.

• Serious off-road ability, smooth ride on pavement, stable handling, simple cabin controls, comfortable seats.

• Tepid performance with inline-5, poor outward visibility for shorter drivers, subpar cargo space, terrible gas mileage.

  AMAZING - 2008 Hummer H3
  By PaulD - February 8 - 6:46 am

  This vehicle is AMAZING. Yes, amazing in the fact that Im amazed at why anyone, other than a discounted GM employee would buy one of these things! I have the 5 speed and have driven old dump trucks with tighter linkage. The front seats....are the WORST I have ever sat in. Feels like Im sitting in a bucket. The side bolsters make my right leg fall asleep because they press in so bad. A cheap attempt at sportscar type seating. The fold down rear seats dont fold down flat. The steering wheel doesnt telescope and should in order to make up for TERRIBLE seating position. Dirt and mud and snow are thrown onto the door handles from the tires. Id write more bad, but out of "characters remainin

  ALPHA gets an "F" - 2008 Hummer H3
  By ER in Cali - May 8 - 11:19 am

  First off,this car looks awesome! Just sit inside and look really cool, just dont turn it on. Had serious problems from day 3. Ive had this car 6 months and it has been in the service department 4 times. The engine however seem more powerful than the regular H3 (my loaner cars) but Im having a difficult time rating it due to the fact I dont have it most of the time!!! Inside is "space challenged" no room for anything other than the people in it. No backpacks, purses, phones etc... Vision is impaired, be very careful no one is in the crosswalk because you can only see directly in front of you and thats it. In the canyons I find myself leaning to the side so I can see the curves.
