2008 Hummer H3 consumer reviews

Awesome vehicle. Very comfortable and capable off road. Feels very stable on dirt roads. The rear locker has helped me out of a few tricky spots. Have not had one problem with the vehicle since I got it.

I have Never felt safer in any vehicle. My Hummer 3 has a nice smoothe ride. It's reliable and beautiful too. I am so happy to have my Hummer.

This is the best SUV I have owned. I drive the Alpha model that has the 5.3 V8. That is the only H3 I would want. All of the others I test drove were so under powered. The 5.3 pulls great. I leveled the front end and put 35" tires on it. It still rides and drives like factory. The interior is tight and the gauge layout is just right. I would recommend this to anyone.

door handles so far fell off my truck twice front and rear passenger doors I been sticking them back on with liquid nail, the truck has alot of plastic parts,for what you pay for a hummer you should have a truck bilt like a tank

my h3 does everything. picks up my kids at the airport. seats 4 adults in comfort to go out to dinner.this suv is fun to drive and looks like no other suv on the road. my car in connecticut is a bmw 750xi.i get more smiles and "thats a cool car" for a 1/3 of the price. get a hummer!!!!

I've had my H3 for 2 months now, not long I know, but I am so glad I bought it. I take it out mudding a couple times a week. It performs great every time! Took it rock crawling a few weeks ago, and was extremely impressed! I was new to off roading, but my H3 performed very well. It got me out of a rock and a hard place numerous times. In the picture I added, I thought I had gotten myself in way over my head climbing a rocky hill, but I just stayed on the gas and my H3 made it's way up with ease. The 4Low-Lock is great, just press the button and you feel like you could crawl over anything with it. My previous vehicles were a 2001 Mustang, and a 1986 Fiero. The H3 rides much better than those cars, and the road noise is much quieter. My turning radius is actually better too. The front tires seem like they almost go sideways. The i5 H3 is not fast like some of these high powered SUVs we have now, but it is definitely adequate. I do plan on putting 315/75-16 tires on it, to improve the off road capability and the appearance. I love my H3 and I haven't loved a car in years.

This is the coolest vehical I have owned. Traded in a 2003 lexus for this truck and am loving every minuet. Great in the snow. I also own a '99 lexus rx300 and the all-wheel drive on the lexus is great, I thought no vehical can be better (wrong) HUMMER way better. Not real big on cargo so take that into acccout if you look at these trucks but very comfy and fun to drive.

To begin with I have been a single Dad of three and now remarried with 8 kids and need a vehicle that will allow me to get to my kids or with my kids any time of year without fail. My primary vehicle is a 9 passenger Suburban. I wanted something with style but with a great deal of substance. The H3 has been all I knew it would be. Tough and rugged, it takes care of all the snow piles and winter mess without any problems. The ride is comfortable and the height of the truck makes viewing a breeze. Others have complained about the sightlines but I find no problems at all. Having driving many a large moving truck, I'm use to using mirrors. The Alpha model I bought came with the back-up assistant but in my opinion it is not required, but a nice little touch. The gas milage in the winter is less that listed but most cars and trucks usually are in the winter. If you are going to stress about gas milage, you should not be buying a full-sized truck anyway. I considered trucks, but had no use for a flat-bed that would do very little in my world. The back space in the H3 is admitted small, but the seats do fold down to give added space. Having used minivans to haul lumber and drywall in the past, knowing how to make due has never been a problem. I bought this so I could always get to my kids and get them where they needed to be with safety and confidence. This is an outstanding truck for that. The Alpha version with the extra power is very nice and the adventure package with larger wheels and a crome look make for a very fun car. Some seem to want to give me a hard time about the gas, but here in Omaha where half the town owns a truck but very few actually do work that needs one, it is a bit like the cat calling the kettle black. Bottom line; this truck did what no other could do for us. It provided subtance and style. Not to mention that it is a great deal easier to get into the back seats than anything Nissan makes, and although I like the substance of a 4Runner, it lacks any uniqueness. And as a long time lover of how Jeep Wranglers look, the H3 is a GREAT blend of the Hummer with a bit of a Wrangler feel. I even looked at the H2 but don't find those nearly as attractive as the H3, especially when you start to look and see that you are not getting much more inside the H2 than you get in the H3. LOVE the H3 Alpha!

I have owned alot of vehicles. This is by far the best vehicle as well as best SUV made. Quality is great, performance is very good. Seats are flexible fold down and when up adults can use the rear seats. Great leather very durable. HVAC controls are very easy to use and understand. Ride is superior to Tahoe, Suburban, Durango, Expedition, Jeep, FJ Toyota, It is like a sportscar SUV (I own a Corvette also) that is un stoppable off road. Much better than even the H2. It is very rugged and well built. It was a little pericy but with the discounts now it is a bargin. I didn't really understand how good it was until we owned it for a while. Looking for another one now. Cons, gas mileage the same as other 4x4's meaning poor. No steering wheel audio controls,Back up camera not integrated with navigation system,(it's with the rear view mirror) Fog light switch next to a similiar sized phone button. Radio does not have input for Ipod, No rear seat heat or air conditioning ducts.

Not a single SUV out there comes close. After owning an Wrangler, an Expedition and an Explorer, I broke last year's trend and bought the H3 Alpha. Believe me when I say no other SUV compares to the H3.
