2003 HUMMER H2 Review
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
Despite its more civilized design, the 2003 Hummer H2 still maintains the head-turning looks and unstoppable off-road prowess that made the original famous.
Pros
Distinctive styling, unmatched off-road capability, stout drivetrain.
Cons
Feels massive, some cheap interior materials, limited cargo room.
What's New for 2003
Macho for the masses. The 2003 Hummer H2 is an all-new vehicle in the Hummer lineup. Though possessing styling similar to the original, this all-new Hummer is more manageable and more affordable.

2003 HUMMER H2 Adventure Series 4WD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
Alot of folks tryed to steer me away from purchasing a used first year production hummer. I ignored it and minus a couple of electrical "bugs" I have had to work out, it is a mechanically strong, reliable vehicle. As usual, GM delivers excellence that lasts for years to come. With a little patience, if you love H2's, they are a "sound" investment. All used vehicles will come with minor issues to be resolved. I have owned mine now for 2 years and have done less dollars in repairs than my tires have costed me. By the way, Cooper STT M/S are a couple hundred dollars more, but worth investing in on an all wheel drive...mine with rotation at oil change have lasted me 50,000 and they look TOUGH!
Favorite Features
Some of my fav features are my adjustable rear air shocks(replacement $230 each), heated seats, removable third row jump seat, front and rear towing (front one works great for removable winch), and last but no where near least, my BOSE sound system....IT REALLY WAKES ME UP IN THE MORNINGS!
Suggested Improvements
I really don't have any changes in mind that would not require changing the body design some, which in my opinion would be an absolute sin. I think that the side mirrors are a bit small for safety, windshield could be a little more aero (catches everything), grill difficult to clean w/ brushguard
Love my H2

2003 HUMMER H2 Lux Series 4WD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
After owning Expeditions, Tahoes etc. this is by far the best SUV I've purchased! I'm extremely pleased with my Hummer in every way. I added a K&N induction system to improve power, but now the truck is a perfect 10 in my book.. I recommend the lux package with the sunroof and DVDs.
Favorite Features
The room and the stability of the H2, not to mention all the options!
Suggested Improvements
A little more cargo space would of been nice, but other than that nothing comes to mind .
My H2 gave its life for me.

Review
After kissing my little boy and heading to work, a woman ran a red light going 50-70mph. My Hummer was t-boned on the driver's side and then due to her speed, flipped onto its headlights and upside down on its roof, sliding 20 feet. The jaws of life cut me out of my totaled Hummer. I suffered only minor injuries in an accident that would of killed me in any other vehicle. I was released from the hospital in time to kiss my little boy goodnight. The emergency crew said buying the Hummer was the best decision of my life.

Review
I have had my Hummer for 3 years. I bought it because my friend let me drive his when it first came out. I fell in love with the comfort and looks. 2 years later my friend was taking an offramp in his H2 and there was a muffler on the road. The H2's inside wheel went over the debris and the Hummer rolled. He was wearing his seatbelt and is not a fast driver, but the roll made him paralyzed. His incident has scared me and I'm now looking for a large safe car like the Volvo S80. Something with a lower center of gravity that is less likely to roll. My H2 was very fun to drive at first, but I grew out of it after a couple months.
Favorite Features
Seats are very comfortable, and looks. It feels very safe but after my friend's incident, I dont think it is.
Suggested Improvements
Use better plastic and make them less likely to roll. Also improve aerodynamics without changing looks to help improve gas mileage.
