Reason for getting H3: Loved H2 but not the price. Also wasn't crazy about getting that thing around in town, or filling it up. Heard the H3 was as good off road or at least very close..(found out it is true on the Detroit Hummer Happening). Plus I love the styling! Also, in my opinion, the H3 interior is MUCH nicer then the H2...the thick steering wheel just makes you feel like you driving a tank. |

Occupation: Computer Science Engineer, I own a Web hosting company and take care of advanced customer support (web and mail server configuration, maintenance, software evaluation and installation, etc.)
Reason for getting H3: Fell in love with the HUMMER Brand since I got my first HUMMER toy car, I wanted to get an H2 but couldn't afford it last year, then the H3 came out and I liked it a lot, even though I could afford a used H2 I think the H3 is more convenient for city driving and the fuel economy is better than the H2... maybe when the H2 SUT ALpha comes out I will upgrade, for the moment I am more than happy with my H3

Reason for getting H3: I've always loved the Hummers. When the H2 came out, I really wanted it, but for some reason, it felt too "tall" and not the typical "wide" like the original Hummer. I still liked it and was ready to get one except it didn't fit in the garage and the gas mileage wasn't great. As soon as I heard about the H3, I knew it would be mine...and it is!

Reason for getting H3: I was looking to buy a car next year(probably a 4-runner), I saw the H3 and was hooked. I'm normally a very practical person, but this decision was made on pure adrenalin.

Reason for getting H3: I have been a Jeep person all my adult life. Fell in love with Hummer when they first came out with a civilian model, but couldn't justify the size and MPG. Waited for Hummer to come out with a model comparable to my Grand Cherokee, and the H3 fits the bill. I also wanted to be the first kid on the block to have a new style vehicle.

Reason for getting an H3: Wanted an H2 real bad because of the unique boxy, but elegant looks, but was turned off by the width and height of it. The H3 is a little more sub-urban friendly and it is a HUMMER, so I got it instead.

Yes. Familiar with the area?
If so, KC Hummer sponsors our 4wd offroad park. It's 83 miles from my door, 240 acres, 3 levels of trails, and great place to visit. Weather plays a big game there. KC Hummer has an event coming in August there. Hopefully, I'll be seeing some H3's participating.... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
We do have a bunch already signed up for it. It is going to be a good time and I will make sure to get some good pictures for everyone. |

Reason for getting H3: I drove real HUMMVE's back in the day when I was active duty USMC and I love the offroading capabilities. This H3 platform makes its possible for a guy like me to own without being in debt to a guy name Guido. Also It gives me bragging rights and Chicks dig it! Also, I was at Airveture in Oshkosh (Air Show) which I drove my H3 on the actual grounds that are restricted to all vehicles except the V.I.P. or official vehicles that are required for crew support. Normally we would of drove the Govt van. But I talked my 2ndLt in taking my H3 to the venue and he agreed. We put the pass in the left front window and off we went. Now Ford is the offical sponser of Oshkosh and our C-130 Aircraft was parked right next to their huge disply tent. So I was very proud to park my H3 near the Ford vehicle displays. Man, I loved the attention my H3 got!!! Just driving at 3 mph through the fair grounds slowly dodging large crouds and having people of all walks of life pointing and kids yelling "Look Mom and Dad an H3!" My friends, thats what its all about! Sorry Ford.

Very familiar with the area, grew up in PV and OP. I used to work in Lenexa and my mom recently moved her company there. I actually miss living up there and have seriously thought about moving back a number of times. Your offroad park sounds pretty cool. Where is it located? I will go check out the site for the park. I was about to pull my order from my local dealer and order from KC Hummer but things change.

Reason for getting H3: i dislike the H2 for some reason. i love sports cars. i live in new england. the BMW M3 i owned was so not practical for a daily driver in new england. i decided to be a little more practical but due to my aquarian traits and love of cars i could not bring myself to get a "boring" SUV. i needed a 4 season vehicle with lots of cargo space and looked badass. hence, the hummer H3!!! i like vehicles with a "cult-like" following (i.e. jeep, BMW, and now hummer). its also nice to not have to pay for fine german car labor rates and parts.

Reason for getting H3: Been driving my wonderful M3 going on eight years, but I need something to pull a trailer with a Harley on it plus carry an occasional surfboard or a kayak and go exploring off-road from time to time. Got tired of borrowing other people's trucks. Been looking for a year, but wife won't drive a pick-up truck, and I hate all of the boring car SUV's. H2 was too big and over-the-top for me - never considered it. Discovered the H3 - finally a real mid-sized off-road truck-based SUV with a manual trans (like the others started out as) and decent styling. Hope my friends don't think that I am trying to be trendy - I want to go off-road, and get there in comfort!

Reason for getting my H3: My Vehicross was
getting old, and I wanted more room, and
something that would carry more inside, and
would get me up the trail to my house in the
Ozarks in all kinds of weather and still be
comfortable on the highway and not look like
every other SUV you see. The H2 would never
squeeze through some of the places I go, but
I considered it briefly and liked the mileage
of the H3 and creature comforts. I appreciate
the engineering of the H3 and love machinery.

Reason for getting H3: I go hunting and go to various ranches all the time and needed a vehicle that could perform well off-road, and still was small enough for me to use in the city. I have owned a lifted chevy z-71 p/u and my last car was a highly modified 2002 audi a4. Amazingly I don't miss the audi at all, and hope my new project car can turn out as well as my last one...

I actually fit one of the demographics that Hummer has made. I do not think I match any of the H2 or H1.
