K Olsen on February 23, 2009 | Has worked on a 2008 Hummer H3
In 2006 Hummer decided it needed to take the H2 and expand hence the birth of the H3. Although they added more HP and cabin room they left all the faults of the H2. The H3 can handle more off road situations than the H2 but again it is not a ROCK CRAWLER, it is an SUV. If it looks like the truck won't make it, it won't. It can tip, get stuck, snap axles, and if anything flies up at the windshield it will break.
The seats may look nice but if you’re in them for more then an hour or two your back and butt will hurt like hell. The interior setup is awkward, the window and lock buttons are not really placed well and the dash is cheap looking. The square-ness seems to be love it or leave it when it comes to style, which personally I can leave. Not only do I not like the way it looks but the route of air flow leads to so many noises while driving, not to mention the flat windshield is practically a safety hazard with how easily it breaks. I'll give it this though, the H3 can tow up and slightly over 4000 lbs easily. On the other hand, the vehicle is slow and jumping into traffic is stressful. Fuel usage is well below 20 MPG usually around 15-19 per gallon. There is a stall in the transmission along with other various problems . The electrical system seems to have more problems in this model then the others. This is not the hardest vehicle to work on and parts and labor will run between $60-$130, but Hummer warranties have clauses about doing the work yourself, so read your small print just in case. Not bad if you can afford it after your car payment, new means $$$$.
