Possible Hummer purchase, but am feeling reservations...

[Boss Hoss]

It seems that there are two people in this world....the first loves hummers and envy all who drive them; the second think its rediculous for someone to spend that much money on a a car that is so big and burns soo much gas--i find the second person is usually the first person as well. I have not had any problems from the general public besides getting parking tickets when the cars next to me dont and the usual "hey buddy, whats your gas mileage". The joy of driving a Hummer certainly out weighs the negativity.

Handling in snow...not sure how it would handle but on wet roads my Hummer drives like a dream. You have to remember this is a full time 4wheel drive vehicle so should have good traction.

The size takes about 2 days to get used to. After that it is REALLY easy to drive for such a big vehicle. I would say it drives better than a tahoe/yukon.

Any big SUV gets terrible gas mileage. What is the difference between a Yukon that gets 16mpg and a Hummer that gets 12? In my book this is negligible. I come from driving a Lexus IS 300 and i would not go back to a car for the world.(i kept the IS 300 for 3 weeks when i bought my Hummer and I almost despised driving it because the Hummer rides and drives soo comfortably.)


In summary: DO YOURSELF A FAVOR A BUY A HUMMER!!! Welcome to the board
