For those that use it as a daily driver

Larry:

I traded in an Expedition for my H2. I absolutely love it. It's really hard to describe, you bond with your H2 like a high school kid bonds to his car. These guys in the prior posts describe the negatives, mine are lack of storage and MPG. But they all love their H2. I took mine in for my first oil change and some adjustments, they gave me a loner, guess what, an expedition! I absolutely could not wait to get my H2 back, nuff said.

I agree with the others here. If you need tons of interior space, get a Expedition or Suburban. If you want a luxury SUV get a Lexus or Lincoln. If you want decent fuel economy by a smaller SUV. The build quality and quality of some of the materials are definitely lacking. Sometimes i have to remind myself that this is a $60,000 truck because you can't tell by looking at the interior materials or the build quality in my opinion. Others have different opinions about this and have had better luck with rattles,etc. For me my 99 Expedition had better build quality than my 03 H2. Sometimes I catch myself wondering if I should have gotten a Luxury SUV such as the new Volvo XC 90 or Lexus GX. Then I come back to reality that I wanted a Hummer. Sometimes when I complain about the rattles and etc., I am reminded that it's a Hummer not a Mercedes or etc. But, I must say in spite of the H2's rattles and poor build quality I love it! I hope that GM monitors this site and implements improvements in these areas.

To make a long story short. If you can stand the MPG, and don't need a lot of space then by all means go get a H2 you'll love it. I know that I do!

Use mine as a daily driver have 17,500 miles since Feb and have smiled every mile!

I've had mine for 14 months and the build quality is no less than the other GM vehicles I own and I wouldn't classify that as great. While I don't drive to an office everyday for work (I do most of my work from my house, phone and computer), whenever my wife, 2 year-old daughter and 9 month-old German Shepherd go anywhere, it's a given that we are taking the H2.

Phil, you hit the nail on the head. Utilitarian is about being practical and there really isn't anything practical about an H2. As a daily driver, it gets the same mileage as a 3/4 GMC with the 6.0L and there are many of those around. I have a larger vehicle when needed so for me the H2 serves its purpose and does it well.

I have to agree with PhilD.
The H2 is basically too small on the inside. The wheel wells come in so far in the trunk that they take up too much space (and that is with the spare already removed). From the outside you would think the H2 has a living room of space but that's simply not the case. if you need three rows and trunk space buy a Suburban.

And then their is the built quality. Not that pieces fall off just some of the material and build choices that were made piss me off when I think about it as a $55k truck.

For me, ultimately, everything is fine but it is the first car where I feel if it were up to me I would have made dramatically different choices for GM.
