2006 Hummer H3 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Hummer H3 express a mix of admiration and frustration. Many drivers love the vehicle's unique appearance, off-road capabilities, and roomy interior. However, they are less enthusiastic about the gas mileage, which is considered poor by many. Issues like blind spots and a lack of acceleration power are also mentioned, but overall, drivers find it fun to drive and appreciate its reliability."
This is a great truck! My wife and I live in the mountains in West Texas. We see some muddy, snowy and icy conditions on the ranch roads. This truck has no problem with any of that! Plenty of room for people and cargo. Feels very safe and comfortable while you are driving it. Has a real mean look and stance on the road also!!
January 29, 2012I like the roominess without feeling like I'm in a bus. Feel respect on the road. Handling is terrific. Interior (leather) is quality. Exterior...I purchase AUTOBUTLER which my H3 always looking phenominal! Again, wish the rear window would drop and back seat completely lay flat but other than that, this H3 has been a super vehicle.
December 7, 2011The H3 Hummer is a pretty cool car. Is it for everyone? No! But, there are very few vehicles out there that you can purchase at a fair price used that have the following features. AWD 4-Low 4-High 5 or 8 Cylinder Rear Locker Front Locker 4:1 Transfer Case and...Look pretty tough. The H3 is not a sports car. Its bumpy, it rattles, mine is Slow! But fun to drive. Im excited. Things to know if you are looking at H3s. First year is 2006. The I5 motor in early 2006 had head issues. Look it up. Find the serial number and look for newer 2006 models. Motors 2006 3.5 - Slow upgrade to 2007 if you can for the 3.7 2007 and up 3.7 ALPHA! V8! Packages - Base, Luxury, Adventure, Off Road Base, not a lot of creature comforts just a nice white truck not frills. Luxury - Base + leather and a few other options. Adventure - Rear Locker, 4:1 Transfer Case, Cast iron difs (some years) Off Road - Rear Locker, 4:1 Transfer Case, Front Locker, Cast Iron Diffs and.. You can get it in a APHA V8. I bought a 2006 base model. Yea, nothing special. It may blow up on me and not exactly what I wanted but.. Its fun and I may someday upgrade to the ALPHA Off Road if I find one and my wife lets me. Some my tell me Im crazy and I just might be. Yea Im sure a 4-runner, Jeep or Land Cruiser are better but hey each to their own. Cheers!

February 4, 2023I spent my life driving A to B cars. this is sharp and reliable! - Amazing vehicles. Still in awe at how well it drives and the turning radius is amazing forits size. Very reasonable for a vehicle that is not only practical but it looks cool as well. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have.
January 20, 2011Had the H3 for over 2 years, and haven't had ONE single problem with it. A pleasure to drive long distances, and I can take all my gear with me. Mileage is acceptable too, getting 16 on the road. And it's just plain cool-looking. Love it.
February 3, 2008I like the design and driving perspective. Easier to maneuver than I expected. Sorry it came out before navigation and back up cameras, but I will be adding both. Still new too me, so lets put some miles on and see how it goes!
November 20, 2021Love everything about this vehicle. If I had to find a negative about it, it would be not having a place to sit phone, smokes, etc. and have easy access to while driving. Best SUV I have ever owned! Plan to keep this SUV forever!
April 19, 2014Loved the look and performance of this vehicle, sporty- yet realistic. Runs great and is very dependable. This HUMMER is fun to drive! So sad to part from this SUV..but time to move forward and into something a bit bigger.
June 16, 2012This car was built very well. I never had a problem with bad roads. I always felt safe in this car. I loved having the extra storage space in the back of the car. I almost didn't sell because you can't buy this make and model anymore.
February 21, 2012I love my Hummer but it's not for everyone. You need to have some money put aside just for gas!
