2009 HUMMER H3 SUV User Reviews

Pros

Comfort, quiet ride, solid build,

Cons

Gas consumption, blind spots

So yeah, everyone is shocked that I bought this car. I just have to state though, I LOVE THIS HUMMER!!!!!! My son is 4 years old and I feel like no matter what hits us (god forbid anything ever does) we will be safe. It is so solid. Yeah it uses a lot of gas but hello people that is because it is soooo heavy! I got a great deal on my H3 and I dont think I will ever get another SUV! I tried out other vehicles, cadi srx,ford explorer...no thanks. My H3 will go through anything. Tons of room for the family. Quiet ride which was surprising considering my ford escape was so noisy! Seriously it rides like my cadi eldo, this was shocking! It seems like it has a couple blind spots, but if you use your mirrors, no big deal. Also I have had no problem parking it, it turns on a dime. I just cant say enough about it. Love it!...read morehide

Pros

I like to be off the ground and see where I am going, comfortable

Cons

Bad gas mileage and when backing up it can be difficult to see things

I was in an accident in late Oct. Believe it or not I was hit in a parking lot with the right of way to the other vehichle. She hit me on the right side backseat passenger door. Her car hit and wedged underneath my car. I flipped, turned 180 degrees facing the direction I had just come from. Now according to her she was only doing 10. She admitted that she wasn't paying attention so how would she know what speed she was doing? Anyway, I landed on my roof and fell back onto the driver side. The car was amazing! I wasn't hurt bad. But, I have been in accidents before and I know what you feel like a day or two later. Other than my concussion and shoulder, I NEVER felt bad. The car absorbed ALL the shock. It did what it was built for. I could of been badly hurt, but the car took the impact and spared me. I will forever be grateful for the way this car took care of me. Fortunately no one else was with me. I was able to climb out of the car through the passenger side with help. The H3 is a wonderful vehichle and built to withstand a great deal.
Thank you GM. Although you need to work on the blind-spots and gas mileage I HIGHLY recommend this car. I have 3 grandchildren and wanted a vehichle that could protect them. This car can. Now I am trying to explain to my grandson who rode alot in it what happened. He loved it has much as I did!...read morehide

Pros

great sound system, super smooth ride, AWESOME turn radius, handles ice no problem

Cons

semi-limited visibility

People have been bashing hummers saying they have bad gas mileage. My H3 Alpha X gets about 15 mpg if I use regular unleaded. When I use premium unleaded I get a little bit better mileage. The H3's gas mileage is better than a pickup truck and some other SUV's. I LOVE my Hummer and especially love how it handles in icy and snowy conditions. The turn radius is awesome and you can get around anything with it and make impossible U-turns. I HIGHLY recommend the H3....read morehide

Pros

Great Sound System, Safe, Great Bad Weather Vehicle, Looks Tough, Brakes

Cons

Base Engine Lacks Power, Passenger Seat Needs Lumbar Support, Poor Rear Visibility

Just got our H3 and love it. Fuel economy isn't too bad for this size SUV either...for those who say otherwise just look at the Jeep Commander. Engine is a little weak for freeway driving, but fine for our everyday driving needs. Looks great, and interior is spacious and simple. Sound system is excellent, and I liked the safety ratings for my wife and new baby. I was concerned about highway driving comfort because of the large tires and suspension, however, we just went on a 3 hour drive and it was fine. Noise level was fine and it was very smooth. Brakes are great too...actually had to adjust from previous SUV. Turn radius is awesome, which makes parking a snap.

Would not recommend the base engine for people with long commutes or those on the freeway a lot. However, for everyday driving (60mph or under) this vehicle is excellent and fun....read morehide

Pros

Good for trips, good for long drives.

Cons

Bad fuel economy, too big for parking.

This HUMMER is good for long trips. but it needs some serious work on the fuel economy.

Pros

Super comfortable ride, love the sound system, 2 ft. of road snow is no match for this SUV

Cons

The gas mpg is absolutely horrible, you can drive a short distance and watch the needle drop fast

I really love the H3, but would not purchase another because of $4.00 gas prices and low mpg : ( The Jeep Grand Cherokee may be a good alternative.
