HUMMER H3 SUV Review

How the HUMMER H3 SUV stacks up against the competition - by Nigel Cooper, Topanga CA

HUMMER H3 SUV Review
2009 HUMMER H3 SUV
Price Range: $30,995 - $43,130

Handling
The HUMMER H3 and the typical midsize SUV have about similar tires. With their similar turning radiuses, the HUMMER H3 and the typical midsize SUV definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The HUMMER H3's engine isn't much larger than the average midsize SUV's. The HUMMER H3 has no lessons to learn regarding torque from the typical midsize SUV.

Utility
The average midsize SUV's larger trunk will accommodate more big items than the HUMMER H3. Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the typical midsize SUV over the HUMMER H3. There's no clear winner between the typical midsize SUV and the H3 with respect to hauling capacity.

Convenience
The H3's fuel tank will need to be replenished a little more often than the unit in the typical midsize SUV. You quite certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the H3 than with the typical midsize SUV, as both offer comparable mileage ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the HUMMER H3 offers a bit more head room than the average midsize SUV, there frankly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the typical midsize SUV offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the HUMMER H3, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The H3 is substantially heavier than the typical midsize SUV. The typical midsize SUV's tank is approximately the same size as the HUMMER H3's, though the H3's is somewhat bigger. The HUMMER H3 and the typical midsize SUV compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the HUMMER H3 to the dealership as the typical midsize SUV. Producing an accurate gas mileage evaluation is so tricky that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the typical midsize SUV and the typical midsize SUV perform roughly similarly regarding gas mileage. The HUMMER H3 uses a lot of gasoline compared to the typical midsize SUV. The H3 will tax your gasoline budget substantially more than the average midsize SUV will. The average midsize SUV will save you money at the pump compared to the H3. In terms of MSRP, the HUMMER H3 costs substantially more than the typical midsize SUV.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the typical midsize SUV isn't quite as generous as the HUMMER H3's. When it comes to after-sale protection against corrosion, the HUMMER H3 has markedly better coverage than the typical midsize SUV.
