H2 - Safety Design

MACCKS, 12/15/2005
2005 HUMMER H2 4WD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
23 of 23 people found this review helpful

My husband recently hit a tree and totalled our $71,000 05 H2. How do you total a HUMMER? The H2 front end impact design shifted the "energy" absorbed by the accident under the vehicle instead of into the passenger seating area. Thus, damaging the frame, transfer case, rear end housing, etc. He walked away with only a seatbelt bruise. We are convinced this vehicle saved his life and can't wait to buy another!

Love my Hummer

I have owned my H2 for 3 yrs and it gets roughly the same gas mileage that my 2005 Chevy Tahoe gets (14 in town and 18 hwy). I don't know what the big deal is over the gas mileage (I have been researching the new Jeep Unlimited and it only gets marginally better gas mileage than the H2 [1 or 2 mpg] and for the style and luxury I'll keep my H2. No mechanical probs to speak of. Excellent ride - better than any other SUV. Turning radius is great. Bottom line is go drive one for yourself. Don't let others talk you out of it before you look at it. My husband thought he would hate it until he drove it. Needless to say, we took it home that day! Well worth the price for the SUV and gas.

The Best SUV out there. People need to top comparing the gas mileage to a car that’s ¼ of its size! I drive it really hard and get about 9 mpg in the city when driving lightly you get about 13 mpg. On Highway at speeds of 85 mph I get about 10 and speeds around 65 mph I get about 14 mpg. It's how fast you take off is where the gas goes.

We live in Iowa, we've had about 18 inches of snow so far this year and I don't have to worry about getting around, I can drive any where and feel 100% safe. The only regret I have so far is there is no complete third row seat offered. Otherwise am completely happy.

I have owned my H-2 for over one year now. I have traveled over 26,000 miles both on highway, streets and off road. The gas mileage isn't the best but I do seem to get about 15 mpg on the highway and get about 11 mpg in town which was the same as my old F-150. I have also traveled from florida to Alaska where I am working now. The trip was very plesant due to my H-2s ride and comfort.

I've owned a great number of cars and trucks over the years, but this one beats them all hands down. First of all is the interior room. I am a 6'5" driver and I swear I could wear a cowboy hat while driving! I have put 45,000 miles on my H2 in two years. Driving from Oregon to Las Vegas and back between homes several times a year, I can drive straight through and still arrive in comfort. Other than changing the oil (synthetic for me!!) I have never touched this vehicle or had problems. I'll be driving an H2 as long as they keep building them. If they stop, I'd go buy two or three tomorrow just to insure I have one for life!!!

This is the second one we have owned. We have a large piece of property with some horrible roads. My wife loves the vehicle and wouldn't want anything else. It is very durable and I feel safer with her in it. It does get horrible mileage and is as aerodynamic as a box which makes it hard to keep the wind shield clean. Other than the mileage, we are thrilled with the vehicle and the way it handles.

We never thought that this vehicle would satisfy so many of our needs. We just returned from a 1800 mile trip through some of the worst weather and traffic conditions and our Hummer H2 took us to NY and back in comfort and style. Not to mention how safe we felt. Other cars seem to stay away and those big rigs give respect. We cruised at 70 to 80 MPH and averaged 13.7 MPG. In the ad they say "Like nothing Else" - it's hard to explain but you get the feeling like you're Capt. Kirk commanding the Star Ship Enterprise. It's wonderful! If you need one vehicle to do everything, the H2 is it. We drove it for over 30 hours roundtrip and felt refreshed when we arrived. I would buy this H2 again.

My husband and I bought this car a year ago right before we found out I was pregnant. This car is great for hauling a child around, plenty of room for a stroller, the DVD's that the H2 has as an upgrade is going to come in handing in a couple months and it feels safe when you drive. I have no complaints. Great family automobile.

What an awesome vehicle. This is my 2nd H2. The power is great, the ride is comfortable even on the long drives. The only item I wish the 2005 model would come with is adjustable pedals. You can buy after market exhaust, airfilter and a chip to boost the HP, but hold on to your hat, it will move. People who complain about gas mileage, shouldn't own one then. I average 11-12 per gallon.

Perhaps the best SUV I have ever owned, can really go just about anywhere. Maintenance and repairs are costly, given the thievery rampant in the dealer/manufacturer scheme of hourly bilking. Gas mileage is the same as my Suburban. Love the car!

I love my h-2 sut. I use it on and off road here in Arizona. Family of 5 we have plenty of room. The kids enjoy the dvd system and the large sun roof. I like the Bose sound system and nav and just driving it. The sut can go places that most people would not even try. The h-2 has 50,000 miles on it with no problem. I added 20'' wheels and all terrain tries and new shocks, exhaust. Avg fuel 12 city highway and running at 70-75.

Outstanding vehicle!I have owed many 4WD's but this one is by far the best! Please see improvement section for only flaw known to date. GM made an outstanding decision to acquire the Hummer brand; I most constantly educate non-owners that it is not a rehacked Suburban. I hope to acquire an H1 to keep it company!

Overall this vehicle has met my expectations. Negatives-- It could use more front seat leg room and it would be nice if the 2nd row seats reclined. Interior jack location could have been thought out better. Windshield leaked from poor installation at factory and both front seat height adjustment switches have gone out. Positives--This vehicle will perform as advertised. It handles/performs like a sports car and almost nothing short of water submersion will stop it. If you have to get the "heck out of dodge" this is the vehicle. Just fill up the tank at every opportunity. Would definitely buy again.

I am very happy with this vehicle. Have driven other Suv's Cadillac Escalade etc. and feel with the hummer you get more bang for the buck. Love the roomy interior and although it is a large car, I don't feel I have to many problems parking. Fuel is a draw back but the Cadillac escalade only gets an average 13.9 and runs on premium I am getting 11.00 and use regular. Except for fuel mileage I absolutely love this vehicle.

The Hummer is not for everyone. If you are worried about gas prices, you do not need one or can afford one. Hummer is for those that want attitude in a vehicle. This is not your Dad's vehicle. When you own a Hummer, you control the road, not vice versa. Drive with authority. This is the most exciting vehicle on the road today. Make sure to get out of the way.

I wanted this truck since the minute I saw it, but the new color "Stealth Grey" sold it! It is an amazing truck, great interior/exterior, I got all the bells and whistles added from the factory, so let's just say it turns some heads, especially from other Hummer owners! It drives great, a bit hard to park (considering I'm a woman), but it is all that and then some!

I am retired and live in a beach resort area and drive my Hummer only on day trips or weekend outings. It is a comfortable driving vechicle. I like the durability and feel very safe traveling in heavy traffic or congested areas. Yhe vechicle has a smooth almost gliding feeling on the highway. For the large size of the vechicle the gas mileage is good. It definately gets a lot of attention on the highway

If you are looking for a vehicle that gets attention this is the one. If you are looking for something practical, go buy a Denali. I had a 2003 Denali XL before, got tired of it and traded for a 2005 H2. I like the way it handles, but the power and ride is not as good as the Denali. Also, it has limited cargo room and you loose a lot of storage space in the vehicle. A few other annoying items include the nav screen that point toward the passenger, no six disc changer, and a bouncy ride. I probably will go back to a 2007 Denali XL as soon as they come out.

This truck is awesome to drive, a real head turner. Great performance. Very comfortable to drive/ride. Doesnt feel as big as it looks when you drive it. The problems I have had: a bolt fell out of the front suspension, dealership said a non-locking nut was used by mistake. One small area of paint peeling off of the top. They do need to offer back up sensors, because visibility is bad out of the back, especially with the rear tire rack.

This is a fun head turning vehicle with very few flaws. Handles great, looks great, and is safe to drive
