Some design flaws

2008 HUMMER H3 H3X 4dr SUV 4WD (3.7L 5cyl 5M)

I actually love my H3, but the interior design could offer more comfort and storage. I'm 5'10 yet my arms can not rest on the arm rest of the door panel, it's too low. At a stop light, the roof comes down too low in the front, I have to constantly kink my neck down for the light change. There is absolutely no storage space for sunglasses or my purse etc. The exterior design is really cool and powerful looking but just go through one puddle and the dirt and splash from the road goes all the way up the side of the front door and door handles and looks dirty all the time. I am a female in my mid 50's who is tired of driving a van. I am having the time of my life in this vehicle even with the fl

H3 Makes this Big Guy Smile!

I am a 6'6" man who has struggled for years trying to find a vehicle that will keep me comfortable during my 1- 1.5 hour commute (each way). A month ago I bought my H3 and I ride in comfort. I was concerned about gas mileage, but it turns out that my old "small" suv only gets 1 mile per gallon more than my H3 (I drive in Los Angeles and it is all stop and go, gas mileage suffers greatly for all vehicles). I find I don't stop as often now because everyone gets out of my way! This is a great vehicle and I ride in comfort!

2008 HUMMER H3 Alpha 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

As a previous owner of an Escalade and BMW X5 I am impressed. The Alpha has plenty of power when you need it and cruises smooth at 85-90. This thing is build very tough and think it is the ideal vehicle for anywhere. If the term MPG is even a worry keep looking, while I do get 15-16 hwy it isn't pretty when driving in traffic. Overall I think this is a nice all around vehicle but not quite the space of larger suvs. Went between this and a H2 and chose the smaller, and am happy with that choice.

H3 Alpha

I have had my Alpha w/ off road package for little over a month and it is excellent. Without the V-8 engine, there simply isn't enough power to get this beast moving. So far everthing has performed as advertised. Off road . . . Jeep can say their SUV's are trail rated but since the H2 & H3 came along, they rated the trail. Everything else pails by comparison. The only drawbacks are don't plan on just buying a stock Alpha. Unless you want to crush your leather seats sliding out, buy the step assists. Add the chrome gas cap cover and throw in a brush guard and you almost have yourself the 3x package. Well worth the money. For those who want better gas milage: You knew what you were buying.

4runner owner before ... great to have a V8 powered vehicle ! much more power for towing. Instrumentation is well layed out ... but could use more convenient features on the steering wheel like the H2. Memory front seats would be a nice feature. Ipod and USB ports for the stero system is missing.
