2006 Hummer H3 Adventure from North America - Off Topic Comments

Your comments sound like you disliked the vehicle before you even brought it home.

You also sound heavily biased against GM.

Sorry about your bad luck with the vehicle, but after reading your review, I'm not sure I believe you.

I think that people who are so anal that it shows (glares) in their writing, will never be satisfied.

The Honda won't be perfect either. Nothing is perfect.

You will then be able to write a scathing review of the new Honda.

Lighten up, life would be more enjoyable for you.

If someone has made up their mind that all imports are superior to GM (or any other make), they will continue to believe it.

Perception is reality. The import buyers don't always rate their vehicles higher in customer satisfaction surveys, yet there are people that refuse to accept that their Toyota is a lemon. They would complain all day if the same problems happened to a different make.

My brother in law has had his brand new Toyota in for service work six times in three months. He tells that the dealer has attempted to fix a fan problem twice and he is still having overheating problems, but he's sure it will work out because "it's a Toyota"!

To the 16:56 comment: every sentence you wrote is false. Foreign vehicles are far superior as a whole; especially Toyota's and Honda's. Those of us who own them understand why and laugh when we see some poor soul driving a Hummer, an Expedition, or some other bloated piece of GM or Ford trash. I'm feel sorry for people that can't understand this.

Yeah, tell that to my friend whose 2001 Accord is falling apart and has been nothing, but trouble since new. Honda and Toyota are simply over-hyped car manufacturers whose product is no better then what we have here, take a look, there are plenty of people complaining about problems with their Honda's and Toyota's. I know many people who own GM SUV's that have been very reliable, all our GM vehicles have been great. The one vehicle that did have problems, though, was a Honda that had overheating issues.

To 21:24. Despite whatever car you imaginary friend might have, Honda and Toyota are not over-hyped. Do they have problems? Yes. Do they have lemons? I suppose so, even though I have yet to see one myself. Any companies that produce this quantity of machinery, whatever it is, will have some problems. What you are not understanding is that Toyota and Honda have FAR fewer problems as a whole. That is a fact, and any attempt to dispute it will be made by people who won't admit that foreign vehicles are superior, or by people who will lie or make up stories about some nightmare Honda that some "friend" had, and everything on the car fell off. There is no comparison in quality, Toyota has it, GM doesn't. The H3's look great, and if you never drive it, I suppose it will continue to look nice. The problems arise when you turn the key and try to go down the road. These things are going to fall apart quickly, have a LOT of motor issues, and squeak and rattle like a broken shopping cart. And I'll believe 20 m.p.g. when I see it. An inline 5 to move this bus down the road? Come on GM, wake up.

Most foreign brands are far superior. Not because they're not American, which makes no sense by the way, but because they are built more carefully, with better engineering from the get-go, and they use better materials. Where is my proof? How about any major publication that deals with automobiles, and is worth reading, including Consumer Reports. I own a '98 Tacoma, and there is no other make of truck that even comes close to being as rock-solid and reliable as these trucks are. For damn sure not any Hummer.

I definitely would not recommend a 2005 Jeep Cherokee by any means. Not only ours, but every person I know that owns or owned one has had multiple problems with it breaking down and multiple other problems. Ours has started smoking from the engine out of the blue, the lights on the dash cut off so you have no idea how fast you are going, how much fuel you have..., everything on the dash overheats, the car has broken down over 30 times by not starting up in which the local Galeana dealership could not "duplicate the problem" therefore still have yet to fix anything and just 2 days ago transmission fluid has sprayed all over the engine and all throughout the vehicle, which is exactly what is described what will happen from the recall it was involved in, and Galeana claim a "pebble" hit the radiator. If a small pebble can hit the radiator and cause your car to almost catch on fire you have a very poorly built car. And to top all of this off, we bought the car brand new January 2005 with 0 miles and have never been in an accident and have kept up with all of the maintenance i.e. oil changes every 3000 miles...

A simple fact, both imports and domestics have their positives and negatives, and no, one is not superior to the other, If you had any knowledge at all about automobiles you would know this.

<<A simple fact, both imports and domestics have their positives and negatives, and no, one is not superior to the other, If you had any knowledge at all about automobiles you would know this.>.

Really? Then explain why American cars CONTINUE to be listed as "used cars to avoid"?

If you had any knowledge at all about automobiles you would know this.

'Listed as 'used cars to avoid'' by who, consumer reports?! Oh, what a surprise, since we already have established they wouldn't recommend an American car if it was 10x better then a Japanese one.

I stopped reading that biased magazine about a year ago once it became clearly obvious how biased they are. That anti-America propaganda is really getting annoying.

All our used cars have been American and have gone 100+k miles with few problems.

Other than American car clubs, exactly which sources wholeheartedly recommend American used cars?

Consumer Reports, JD Power, Intellichoice, Edmunds, and every source I've ever seen says the opposite.

Comparing Toyota or Honda with a Hummer! It's like comparing a bicycle to an airplane.. yes the bicycle will get you from A to B no problem.. and yes obviously the Airplane needs a lot more maintenance.. but that doesn't mean the bicycle is great and the airplane is crap!!

And the US make great cars.. I proudly own a 2001 Chrysler 300M and it's a great car.. its still looks and dives like new.. no way I could trade it for a 2001 japanese or korean weird looking box! By the way I'm from Egypt, so I'm not biased..

I think people who hate big american cars just hate them out of jealousy..

Hmmm

Oh Well...
