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.

Hummer - 2008 Hummer H3
By Gus Moore - June 25 - 3:30 pmI bought a loaded 2008 H3 with just 30k miles and kept it just 5 weeks before trading it back into the dealership. In that 5 weeks, I had to buy a $150 battery (come to find out it was the third battery the vehicle has went through) and jump start the vehicle 4 times something that you shouldnt have to do to a $25,000 SUV. When it did actually start, I found the 5 cylinder engine woefully under- powered which would be acceptable if it got better that 14 miles per gallon (My trade-in was an 03 F150 4x4 V-8 that got that good!) The H3 looks are fantastic but as my wife "Its all show and no go". That coming from a woman who drives a 2009 Scion xb 4cyc. After 5wks, I traded.
