I've had my H3 for a week now. After driving S10's for 10 years this thing's the dogs gonads. It rides like a Rolls Royce. It dosen't even feel the pot holes on I94. Red, of course, with all the chrome the dealer had to offer.
I'll report on the real gas mileage next time I fill up.

Congrats on your new purchase!

I just got my H3 this week! Black, loaded and the dealer had just put DVD system in the headrests. My kids are at the grandparents and don't know we got it yet. I traded my Eddie Bauer '99 Expedition in and I can't believe the ride this SUV has. We have moved from an area that we had to drive 2 hours on a very twisty two lane road to shop anywhere but Walmart. My Expedition was not the best for this kind of driving. Especially if you were in somewhat of a hurry. It has so much roll in the body going around corners, and it is so heavy! The fuel mileage after I put bigger tires on last year dropped to 13 with the 5.4L V8.

I love my new rig. I was tired of being the one who drove everybody around because I could seat 8 people. Get your own car! The H3 rides so nice. Interior is nice and all reachable for a short 5'4" woman. We have always had Fords, but my husband loves my new car. It will be safe to drive this winter on snow, rain, ice, etc. Be prepared for people to stare, stop you to ask questions, and H2 owners even wave at you. I have not seen another H3 yet in my town, but I know they're out there cause the dealership got two trucks of them in and only have 4 left.

I'll post more after we go on the Hummer Happening next month. Should be fun!

1st tankful got me 15.5 mpg combined highway and cruising around town. Installed K&N air filter, 2nd tank got me 16.3 mpg. This should improve with age so to speak. Loving every minute of it.

Wow 16 miles per gal. Thats great news for Hummer. My new H2 is getting about 10.2 . Doesn't bother me too much as Its not a daily driver/commuter car for me.

My work truck. I own a small plumbing business and drive my 2004 Chevy Express Box truck around all day.
-I bought the H2 because I was sick of driving the box truck around after hours and started to really hate driving my wifes mini-van.
The GN only sees sunny Weekends and cruise nights...maybe 1200 miles a year.

It's not a GNX, those are very rare and go for big $$. My GN has some nice mods: Bigger turbo, bigger fuek pump, 3" down pipe and some nice under hood chrome pieces. Its a different car that you dont see to often in good shape.
