2009 HUMMER H3 Alpha 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

This vehicle is quiet and comfortable. With the V8, it performs well and returns a mixed driving average around 18 MPG. Visibility is not as good as some vehicles but better than others, you decide. I always back with my mirrors, so the rear window thing does not bother me. In fact, it nicely blocks the headlights of idiots that tailgate and blind you. I would like to see Hummer make the footwell a bit more user friendly i.e. indenting the transmission tunnel a bit more where you need to rest your right foot. The left foot has a nice rest. The base stereo is quite sufficient. This vehicle is a beast and although its only been mine for a month, I anticipate that it will hold up well.

Favorite Features

Full-time four wheel drive, Quality appearance of interior, Instrument layout, Solid build compared the Jeep JK Rubicon I had prior to this.

Suggested Improvements

Needs more incremental adjustment for steering wheel height and telescope would be beneficial. At this price, should have the best available headlights. Needs more storage bins and pockets, especially around dash. Fold flat seats would be useful. Remove those fake air intakes!

Review

I have had my H3 for about 3 weeks, and it is the best. I am getting almost 440 miles per tank. It's really fun to drive. The only after market thing that I have done to it is the H3T wheels that I had put on

if you own at least one gun, like to ride four wheelers and have a set of boots than this is the small SUV for you. I love my HUMMER it can go offroad and tow stuff and chicks dig it. it can drive in a flood and dry sandy beaches. offroad? i owned a JEEP on climbing and a Z71 in the mud (then pulled him out) can tow a mastercraft X2 as well as my dirtbikes and quads if you want a dude like SUV that tows the toys and owns Jeeps offroad than get an H3 after all, "it is what it is"

Review

I love my H3. Before this little tank I drove an Xterra with no stability or power. I was not looking for speed but definitely endurance with class. With the H3, I have found a women a lot like myself, reliable, easy, fun and definitely classy. In a heart beat I would purchase another one....

Review

Why I bought it: Needed a purpose built off road and expedition vehicle with high capability that can also handle daily driving/road trips. The fit and finish are better than it's only equivalent, the Jeep Rubicon, which makes it better for 15 hour trips. I'm getting 16 MPG mixed during the Chicago winter. My 94 4runner is getting 12 MPG. 72 MPH = 18 MPG. 65 MPH = 20 MPG. 4Runner=15MPG tops. Ride: Very nice. Amazing a truck with 33" tires can ride this well. Inclement weather: Outstanding. 4800 lb means standing water on the freeway is a non-issue. It does not get blown into ditches on icy roads. Summary: Awesome purpose built vehicle. There's a reason there are no 2WD Hummers.

Favorite Features

Versatility. Balance of capability and fuel economy. 4:1 transfer case gears, front and rear selectable lockers. Good on road manners. Excellent bad weather driving characteristics. Huge sun roof.

Suggested Improvements

Fold flat rear seats would be nice as would CB mounting options.

2009 H3X Unstoppable!

2009 HUMMER H3 H3X 4dr SUV 4WD (3.7L 5cyl 4A)

Review

Vehicle is unstoppable through record ice and snow storms this winter. Secure and extremely comfortable to drive. Heated seats are a must in our northern climate. SAR assignments in rough country, No problem! This unit can get 'er done! Superior build quality. The Monsoon sound system is wonderful. The HUMMER's vehicle hands- free calling phone works even in the most remote locations (even when our personal cell phone won't). Did we mention, we love this vehicle.

Favorite Features

Build quality, phone, Monsoon music system, comfort in driving. Vehicle's ability to securely transverse everything we put in front of it.

Suggested Improvements

Lockable storage space. Work on obtaining better MPG without forfeiting any of the capabilities of this unit.
