Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
My mom bought this Christmas of '06. My step dad and I told her over and over not to get it but she insisted. . .I hate it. Not because of a brand name, nothing like that. It is not roomy at all, I'm 5' 10" and I have to angle my legs so my knees don't hit the steering column/dash. The interior LOOKS awesome. . .and the stock stereo sounds great. . .BUT I can ride a bicycle with more horsepower. UGH!!!! lol and the worst part is, I have to drive this if I work on my truck. . . .

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
Its an "H" thing I guess. I was surprised when I first seen that an H2 was a new body on a Tahoe or Suburban chassis and when the H3 can out it is on a Canyon/Colorado chassis.
Im 6'2" and wouldnt like to ride in an H3 everyday.

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
Well the H2 came out and it is all part of this "hey look at me" attitude that is sweeping the nation. The H3 is just a more normalized version.....less obnoxious than the H2. But it is a newer vehicle, you could be driving a POS. Just get one of those vanity plate frames that says my other car is a porsche.....and put a piece of duct tape over it and write what your truck is .

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
I used to have to walk whenever my truck was apart; spent nearly an entire winter walking to work when I did my motor swap. I would have been happy driving a Yugo, let alone one of those.

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
At least you don't have to drive a Ford Torino station wagon when your truck is down. I don't like the looks of any of the Hummers, but we sure have a lot in the neighborhood. Oh well, it is their money. I can waste mine on things a lot better looking.

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
It`s a downsized vehicle,what do you expect?You can stretch out and squeeze your wallet or squeeze in and stretch your gas money.It`s the same old story.Beat the crap out of walking.

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
Yes, I agree that it is better than walking. . .and like i said it looks great. . .i just do not understand why you would spend that kind of money on something made of mostly plastic. . .i mean one day it was locked and my brother tried to get in and roke the handle completely off (he is 8 and weighs 52 lbs)

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
lol eh.. . . i think i'm good. . .but this isn't so much a complaint, as it is seriously a legit question, why spend i think 38,000 on that. . .when there are things MUCH nicer for THAT amount of money. . .like maybe a metal vehicle, haha

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
I take it she has no idea who Dave Ramsey is.
$38,000? what are the monthly payments + higher insurance + higher fuel cost come to? would make for a nice healthy retirement. her only hope now is for someone to steal it and it catches on fire. |

Re: Legit Question. . . .WHY?!?!?!?
Must be a hummer thing. I'm 5'8 and i have more than enough room in my canyon crew cab. Why people will spend that much on a mid size vehicle i will never know.
