It does not seem that long ago when the Hummer were status symbols favorite celebrity series. Somehow, it was considered cool to drive the massive, 3-ton, gas-guzzling H2 SUV through a crowded city streets along the way previews of Hollywood and expensive restaurants. Hummer will soon expand to include younger brother recent H3, which offers similar to H2, but expect a much lower price, a more reasonable and less gluttonous appetite for fuel.
Then gas prices rose sharply, driving the Hummer was born as cool as Kanye West to host the Grammy Awards. To make matters worse is planned sale of the Hummer brand, which has left uncertainty about the future of the brand. 2010 Hummer H3 still soldiers, when they can not resist the Hummer is true eye-catcher style Tonka Trucks to its brand new.
Impressive off-road ability is still strong Hummer, the H3 and was not disappointed. The short overhangs, generous ground clearance, large tires and locking differentials available to become a force to consider the rough roads. But the reality is you'll never see anything more solid than the edge of a football field.
Ultimately, too many sacrifices made here on behalf of the ability to style and off-road sense for most people. With its small windows, the H3 offers outward visibility almost equal to the Brink of the truck, while the empty weight of nearly 5,000 pounds (almost as much as a Tahoe) is a heavy burden the standard five-cylinder engine. Yes, the Alpha has a powerful V8 engine, but its thirst for fuel is the second to the thirst of some celebrities "of care. On the positive side, the H3 does not provide a smooth ride and comfortable seating for four adults, capacity is even thinner on the part of this segment.
So yes, maybe the 2010 Hummer H3 is a good choice for those who venture off-road regularly or is so taken with her unique creations that they can live with disabilities. But its competitors - whether customized built machines like the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Toyota FJ Cruiser, or the more traditional SUV Jeep Grand Cherokee and Nissan Pathfinder - provide greater overall value, performance, efficiency and quality for most consumers.

Interior Design and Special Features
H3's cabin is attractive in a utilitarian sort of way, but a little light compared to the design of the Hummer H3's bold exterior. The leather seats are encouraged to arrange things a little with a color scheme in two-tone and contrast piping. Build quality is acceptable, although most competitors offer fine appointments. In addition, a stereo and climate interfaces are not as friendly as those found in other GM vehicles.
The seats are comfortable, though the outward visibility is compromised for drivers and passengers short due to the high beltline and H3 low profile window design. The rear seat occupants have plenty of room to stretch out once, but the entry and exit through the door opening rather small can be a challenge, and more people may find little cramped office. Cargo capacity is lagging behind its rivals, only 63 cubic feet with the seats folded. The threshold load cargo floor is also quite high, but easily accessible at the side door hinged at the rear.
Guide
The inline-5 runs generally the norm to keep pace with traffic when the tool around the city, but the 2010 Hummer H3 near bulk-5 0.000 pounds it causes stuttering when confronted with steeper climbs and high speed passing situations.
