2009 HUMMER H3 SUV User Reviews

Pros

Excellent all-round SUV w/ ability to go off-road in extreme conditions, optimal safety for children

Cons

The weather in Minnesota is not severe enough for my "Red Bull" H3, rearview visibility

Purchased As New

I had a modified Jeep Wrangler and decided to buy another SUV. My requirements were that it had to have extreme off-road capability and that it had to provide optimal side impact protection in the event of a collision given that I now have young children. Given that money was no barrier, I reviewed and drove many SUVS including Land Rovers, Toyota FJ, and Mercedes. To my surprise, it was my 7 year old son who chose the Hummer H3 "Red Bull" with the Adventure package with the manual transmission. I have been very pleased and am glad that I bought American! As every bit as capable off-road as my previous Jeep Wrangler... but not as nimble in tight turns and corners. This H3 is awesome and my son was absolutely correct in his decision....read morehide

So glad I decided to buy a new one.

2009 Hummer H3 3.7L I5

I test drove a used 06' model and absolutley fell in love with it.

I'm coming out of a 2001 F350 4x4 Extended Cab, Long Bed and the H3 handels like a car/truck.

I love how high I am up off the road inside, and mine came from factory with the 32" tires, so when they wear out I will go into the 33" just for that 1" extra height.

It is so quiet inside and what a view! I'm only 5'5" tall and have no problem seeing all around, plenty of headroom inside, my husband is 6'4" tall and he is very comfortable as a passenger or driver and as well in the back seat!

Driving/riding inside this car/SUV is more like a ride as Disney than driving a car!!!

Such a smooth ride and the engine is SO QUIET you don't even know it is running!!!

The A/C is killer esp. down here in SE FL!!! WOW!!! Icy cold and the A/C vents are the perfect size! A lot of the new cars have tiny A/C vents.

I have been car shopping casually for about 8 months now, seriously for 2 months. I test drove the Jeep Liberty, The Saturn Vue, The Dodge Nitro and looked at so many others.

This is one very happy Hummer owner.

Also a dealer note: We went to Hummer of the Palm Beaches, what a wonderful experience. Not like car shopping at all! They were very business like everyone was there to help me not SELL me the car. I knew what I wanted and they assisted me in getting it. No pressure, no gimmicks, no slimey sales guys. We'll def. be going back when the time comes for the need of a new car.

Enjoy shopping everyone!!!!...read morehide

Pros

Plenty of Head Room and Comfort on Long Drives

Cons

Visability

Purchased As New

Overall one of the best SUVs I've owned. Gas milage is actually very good on ours at 21 MPGs!!! Thats better than the 4 runner I had by 5 MPGs.

Pros

Well built, smooth ride and a "True Functional" off-road SUV

Cons

None that would prevent me from owning one.

I really enjoy my H3X, compared to the many other SUV's on the market. A very solid vehicle that stands out on the road. The H3 can be customized with many extra's, big 22-23 inch rims, nice rugged tires or the low profile tires. Not to mention the many chrome accessories available. Sure there are other SUV's that probably ride better, but they don't stand out like the BIG H3 with all the BLING-BLING. None of the other SUV's on the market can be customized like it yet perform off-road in rugged terrain. If you don't enjoy the H3 maybe you shouldn't be driving an SUV. Go buy a frumpy old lady van or station wagon and enjoy your smooth ride....read morehide

Pros

Rides smoothly, great sound system, easy to manuever, and park anywhere

Cons

Too few and small interior storage compartments, repeated windshield wiper problems

Purchased As New

My H3 performs incredibly well! I enjoy the outstanding acceleration, handling, and front visibility. I often have to remind myself that its a mid-size suv and not my formal sports coupe. It was a good investment for my family and we enjoy the combination of its versatility and luxury.

Pros

I love handling power and comfort

Cons

None

Rear view vision could be better. The 07 and 08 come with the camera and I think I would buy a camer

Purchased As Used

I bought my 2006 H3 (used) for myself for my 65th birthday. Love the safety and the ride is awsome. The back sear is a little tight but don't use it that much. Great cargo space. I put a banner on the back window stating "Grandma's H3". Fun and my granddaughters love to drive it. As far as the gas mileage, I don't mind it at all. As long as my husband is buying cigarette, I buy the gas....read morehide

Pros

Great to drive, Taller Vehicle, Impact Worthy, All Around Performance

Cons

Fuel could be better, Blind Spot needs help and Back wasnt made for groceries!

Purchased As New

Lets see where to start. I think the Hummer H3 is well worth the price I paid for it Brand New! It has been reliable on LONG adventures to different states and rides nicely in any weather. Yes the gas can make it kind of a tear jerker... But it does get better MPG then my dads Dodge or his GMC trucks. After my lease is up Im definately buying it! I would hate to give up my baby! I have a 11 yr old son that adores it and will be his one day. I trust it that much to give to my son when he starts to drive. We go off-roading in it when possible and have even been caught in some really BAD weather(Ice roads, sleet, floods) and it has done Excellent!!! We've pulled people out of ditches and up ice hills, hauled horse trailers, boats and 4-wheelers and just use it as a family car and it does it all. All I really can say thats bad about it is that the blind spots are kinda touchy, even when backing up and that when I go to the store the groceries are all on top of each other and falling all over the place. BUT it does what its supposed to do, even though I do drive it hard... I trust my H3 150% and wouldnt take my 11 yr old or my 6 month old in it IF I didnt! The H2 I think is smaller inside also, we test drove it and my head was touching the top and my knees were in the seat when I sat in the back and my hubby was sitting in the front of me, I was kinda surprised! Im 5'11 and I need my space. The H3 does have plenty of room, for my head and for my legs! So for those who went out and bought it for just a run around car to bring the kids to school, go shopping at the mall and to impress your friends, you get what you get, your not using it for what it was meant for. Need I say more?...read morehide
