2006 HUMMER H3 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 5cyl 5M)
Review
Purchased this H3 for my wife, really! She loves it. Daughter thinks its GR8. Tested lots of vehicles(Hondas,Jeeps, Acadia,Vue and Extera)and we still liked this one the most. Forest green, nice color.I dont understand the complaints by some.I am 6'2" 198 sz 13 feet and I fit very well. Back seat also has plenty of room. Can't believe how far back the front seats will move. Don't people realize it's a truck not a Honda Civic. It's a very utilitarian vehicle. Throw in your tools/climbing/hiking/boating gear and you are all set. Went from Syracuse to Old Forge NY recently and got 22 mpg RT with travel around town and the lake. Received complements on its looks. This is my 34th vehicle in 34 years. Love it
Favorite Features
Love the exterior design and Green color. Fuel MPG is excellent for a large SUV. Turns very well. Performs well on highway and city driving. Good room inside. Read complaints on power, but its not a race car. Its only a 5 cyl. Our Hummer has a good combination of everything we needed and want.
Suggested Improvements
Like everyone else... the power window controls could be better situated. If you're used to a $60k truck go elsewhere.

Review
I leased this H3 base model in white because the side of the vehicle is great for advertising my business. I leased it for 3 years and after 2.5 years I've been satisfied with it.I am 6'2" and have more than enough leg room and head room. The truck rides nicely and the interior materials are high quality. I live 1 mile from my office so mpg is not a big deal and neither is torque. This vehicle is definitely underpowered for it's weight. If I had a longer commute I would not have leased it. Unbelieveably good in the snow. The turning radius is so tight parking lots are a breeze. After 2 years I've begun to notice the typical GM build quality issues such as squeaks and rattles.
Favorite Features
Roomy driver's seat. Tight turning radius. Unique appearance. High quality dash materials. Performance in the snow.
Suggested Improvements
Correct size engine for such a heavy vehicle.

Review
I recently bought the H3 as a second vehicle for my family. I was originally not impressed with the gas mileage 13 mpg around town using a light foot. The beginning of the second month the transmission locked up and would not shift out of first gear. Two weeks later the engine light showed its true colors and would not turn off. The dealership allegedly fixed the problem by replacing a sensor.The temporary fix lasted about 3 miles from the dealer before the engine light reappeared. The H3 was immediately taken back to the dealer who informed us the cylinder head had to be replaced. Despite the problems we love the H3.
Favorite Features
Great AC, good sound system, good entertainment package, heated leather seats, great design, great ground clearance. Hell my wife could not flood this bad boy if she tried. Very responsive to road conditions great visibility through front windshield. Our green Hummer is beautiful.
Suggested Improvements
Door/window switches too far back on armrest. Small windows.

Review
I am buying this lease. I just love this truck. Drove my '88 Buick Reatta for 18 years and replaced it with this H3. I average 15mpg with 60/40 hwy/city driving. Have installed a custom fabricated roof rack. The look and stance of this vehicle is outstanding. It drives quite well and handles Michigan snow very easily. The H3's weight easily tracks through slush while changing lanes on the e-way. This vehicle is a foul weather drivers dream. Decent towing capacity, phenomenal offroad ability, fords a foot and a half of water and has competitive mpg with other vehicles in this class. It's like nothing else.

Review
I literally just got the H3, like a week ago. I used to own the Mercedes C230 and let me tell you I am so happy that I bought the H3! It has so much space, the adventure package is still very nice although it's not the most luxurious. I own a boat detailing business so it came in handy just in time for summer! With gas prices rising quickly, I'm a little worried about the gas mileage, but so far so good. It's not as bad as some might think. And the stereo thumps! I'm a young hot thing so I like to show off. I absolutely love love love the H3! My parents were so mad at me that I bought it, but then they drove it and are realizing that maybe I am actually smarter than I look
Favorite Features
Stereo, turning radius, size and cargo space, interior design, size of sunroof! Great for beach and just wasting gas around town
Suggested Improvements
I dislike where the window/lock buttons are on the door, and the size of the tires always kicks dirt all over the side of the truck. Windows are a little small, but also provide a nice breeze even on the hottest, muggiest FL day. So far, the cons aren't bad enough to make me trade it.

Review
I bought the yellow H3 with 10,000 miles on it. I always wanted one and my 97 Jeep was almost at the end of the road. I love the look, and wanted the bright yellow. The day I got it home the battery went out and the next week the rooters had to be replaced. The dealer took care of that at no cost, great dealer ship here in Kentucky. I have been drving it to work 25 miles one way and getting 18 miles to a gallon so just a little less then the Jeep. I bought it for the safety and snow we get and it did wonders this winter. We had a bad snow day and most people called in to work, I made it just fine. I just towed a 5x8 trailer loaded down to Florida and it did great. All in All I love it!
Favorite Features
The way it looks, and the way it rides, rides much smoother then the Jeep and other 4 X 4 I test drove.
Suggested Improvements
More power and for the price think it should have more options inside. I have friends with 4 x 4 they paid less for and have lots more options inside.

Review
The truck has been nothing but problems. We had a Trailblazer which had a lot of problems so we leased an H3 because of Hummer's reputation. It has 27K miles, they have already replaced all 5 cylinders, worked on tire pressure monitor, it does not start whenever it does not feel like it and now the heating and air conditioning does not go on, no blower, nothing! They really just beefed up a regular SUV and called it a Hummer. Shame on GM.
Favorite Features
Looks cute, but as we know, looks are not everything. Does handle well in the snow for the 1-2 times a year we get that in NJ.
Suggested Improvements
Make a reliable, dependable vehicle worth what you are asking for this truck. Back seat can not fit 3 full grown people or even 3 large children.

Review
I bought an 06 H3 Adventure Package with only 8500 miles. I have put around 1000 miles on it, and already have taken it off road in some serious terrain. Let me just say this, I have had other 4wd SUVs and they would not dare go where my Hummer went. The truck is fun to drive, and gas is comparable to other SUV's. I will be a Hummer owner for a long time. I have driven the H2 and believe the H3 is better off-road and more practical.
Favorite Features
In town the truck is commanding, and off road the truck is unstoppable. Need I say more.

Bring back the greenish blue that the 2006 had . I shopped a new 2008 and we bought the 2006 because of the color. The low miles helped

Review
I've had my H3 now for 19 months and it has been in the shop 4 times. TV monitor went out, heated seats quit working. I've had it in 3 times just for the 5 speed manual. It wont go into 1st, 2nd or reverse gears..I have to almost brake the gear shift to get it to go into gear. I get stuck at lights and traffic with people blowing their horns because I cant get it into gear. I took it in twice and they said it was fine, they couldnt find anything wrong until I went for a test drive with a mechanic and he said they would replace the stick shift. It worked great for 2 weeks and now I'm back to not being able to get it into gear. Doors lock & unlock by themselves now, eletrical problem.
