2006 Hummer 3 - H3

The 2006 Hummer 3 is a true sports car that works great of off-road adventures as well as for high-way driving and daily urban commute. It has been designed to comfortably fit five passengers and a serious amount of sports equipment. The idea behind the 2006 Hummer 3 was to stay true to the military style of the H1 and H2, but deliver the features that made the previous Hummers so popular in a neater package more suitable for city use. The 2006 Hummer 3 has consequently attracted drivers that want all the safety and off-road capability of the older Hummers, but in a more convenient wrap up.

Being smaller than its predecessors, the 2006 Hummer 3 is less expensive and the base price has been pressed down to under $30,000. The low price does however not indicate a cheap feeling – the 2006 Hummer 3 is made from the same type of high-quality parts as the H1 and H2 and the car gives of a luxurious, sporty sensation. If you want to dig deep into your pocket, you can naturally turn this less-than-30k into a vastly expensive purchase. It should however be noted that a lot of the extras, e.g. satellite radio and side-curtain airbags, are comparatively reasonably prices.

When the 2006 Hummer 3 was created the aim was to provide it with competitive fuel economy, and GM finally managed to get it up to 20 miles per gallon for highway driving, at least for the five-speed manual transmission. If you decide to go for the four-speed automatic, the fuel economy rating will drop to 19 miles per gallon for the same conditions. It is still vastly more pleasing than the fuel economy of the H1 and H2, two cars with a fuel rating of 10-12 miles per gallon during highway driving. When it comes to city driving, the 2006 Hummer 2 is rated at 16 miles per gallon, regardless of which type of transmission you chose. Despite being much smaller than its ancestors, the 2006 Hummer 3 is equipped with a 3.5 litre, five cylinder inline engine that can produce 220 hp. As you’ll notice during your first test drive, the 2006 Hummer H3 is certainly a speedy little accelerator.
