The H3 is comparable to a supercar in many ways, it turns just as many heads (if not more), car enthusiasts all have their own views on it and more importantly, environmentalists absolutely hate it, which is a good reason to love the Hummer.
My first week was spent in a yellow standard-trim Hummer H3 with the second week finishing in a gunmetal grey Luxury variant. Karl had his way in the H3 Luxury in Perth and spent his time off-road. Before I begin, let me go over the treatment of the Hummer by some Brisbanites.
Driving around a different car every week makes you realise just how sensitive some people are to certain cars, but you get used to it… or so I thought.
The 2008 H3 SUV is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in 5 trims, ranging from the Base to the Alpha.Upon introduction, the Base is equipped with a standard 3.7-liter, I5, 242-horsepower engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 20-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The Alpha is equipped with a standard 5.3-liter, V8, 290-horsepower engine. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
The 2008 Base is a carryover from 2007. The Alpha has been redesigned for 2008.
