I am new to Hummer. Just bought an H3. What makes Hummer better than other 4X4's?

 

Hello and Welcome from MI. Post up some pix of your new ride!

I wouldn't say "better", I would say different and extreemly comfortable for DD and OffRoad. In my opinion that is why we have HUMMERs.

 

Here is a picture of the Hummer the day after I bought it. Thanksgiving day.

 

Yea Im with Taint, they are quite nimble 4x4s, but I doubt that at the end of an open debate you would be able to say they are better than all the others past or present... One thing that I enjoy is that they are definitely unique in appearance, and made by an American Car co. FJs look unique too, but I would never buy one. Wranglers are a dime a dozen and I cant tell you how many I see in a day, where as another Hummer around here might be one a day, if that...

Sweet spot for a pic btw. Where you from?

 

Welcome and nice ride!

 

Welcome from MI again!

We feel the same as the others about ours being comfortable and "not a dime a dozen".

I'll raise you all one. SAFETY. Look at the pics below. Our 2nd H3 saved my wife, two children and me. A fellow in a full sized 4wd pick-up ran a stop sign at about 60mph and T-boned us in the driver's door. We had our cruise set at about 55mph (we had no stop sign). He ended up in jail and we went to the hospital. Better than the morgue. Needless to say, we'll have at least one in our driveway from now on.

More details about the accident in the "Comments" if you look at my album "Crashed '06 H3 on 7-3-10"

 

Pick up a copy of the 'Hummer H3' by Larry Edsall. Great read about all the engineering and development of the H3.

 

Nothin else like it.
