2007 H2 test drive, now i have some Qs

[NYGirl H2]

Hi-
Sounds like the 07 you test drove definitely had some issues. I have an 08 LE so unfortunately I can't tell you if those prblems are common with the older models.

As far as gas mileage, I found it's not really as bad as everyone thinks. I get about 13 around town and 15 on the highway. The TrailBlazer EXT I had before this wasn't a whole lot better. It's funny though that the first comment people usually make is Wow, you must get horrible gas mileage on that thing!

I found the blind spots not to be significant (I'm 5'8" also). Once you know where they are you become accustomed to double checking before you back up,etc.

Driving a Hummer is certainly an attention getter both good and bad. I have to say though 99% of the comments I get are good and I haven't had any real incidents. People will stop you to talk about it and ask questions especially if they're looking into buying one themselves. Once in awhile I'll get a stupid comment from a guy who's jealous that a girl is driving the truck instead of him. Oh well...

The best thing is that I feel safe when I'm driving it with my 4 kids in the car and of course they love all of the attention we get-lol.

Good luck on your search and let us know when you've found the right one.
