Default Re: What is it like driving an H2?

Agree with very one else, people get on the internet and magicaly grow balls. No one has ever said anything or done anything toward me in a negative way because of my h2. Never a note, Never a finger, Never Cut off. Also i agree on Kids love them, i always have children looking in amazment at my truck and pointing and saying wow look at that.

1: Ride. Better then you have heard. Good pickup and acceleration. I told my wife that the 08 were going to be more comfortable. She asked "how?". There you go.

2: Parking like any SUV, need to know your vehicle.

3: People love the H2. Since gas prices jumped, not so much. Not because of the gas we burn, but the guy looking at me with a frown is driving an Honda Civic, Smart For 2 or a Prius, I would frown too.

I wil have to agree with the rest, very nice ride, bit stiffer than the Escalade but still quite nice, for a large truck believe it or not its quite nimble considering its weight, definately gets you noticed. I have yet to have a problem other than an occasional dirty look from some fag bag in a Prius...... did have one hippie looking kid take a picture of the gas pump I was at after pulling away, I asked him if he was doing a science project and he said yeah really cocky.... I told him to make sure he told his teacher that the $85.00 I pumped was only for a little over 1/2 to top off (back in July when gas was at its peak)

What MVR said. Its not a Cadillac. A stiffer suspension is in order for what this truck does. However, I have read comments about its poor handling and laughed. I own a few cars including a Viper and an 08 Dodge Challenger and let me tell you, most people (especially those talking how bad it handles) would be really suprised at how well it handles, accelerates and overall rides. I love my H2. Probably have to get rid of it soon because I have no need and the H3T is looking good, but trust me, drive one, you will be suprised. I compare it to sitting at home on a very comfortable leather couch.

Default Re: What is it like driving an H2?

i own both, 08 escalade and 08 h2, they both get similiar gas mileage...but i love driving the h2 so much more...the escalade bores me to death..my wife is always asking me to take the escalade to work but i just cant do it...the only thing the escalade has that i do like better is the sound system...but i listen mostly to xm cnn news most of the time so its not a big deal...

Smile Re: What is it like driving an H2?

I have been driving mine for two years now in Germany, Austria and Italy have had No issues on the roads a few tight spots nothing the Hummer could not handle. Driving on the Auto Bahns is fun with a Hummer. Most asked Question is how much gas does it use from the Germans. My Wife calls it a living room on wheels.
