If you haven't seen a Hummer on the road yet, you're either living in isolation, or you must have these vehicles confused with small school buses. But the Hummer, if you really don't know, is tough off-road SUV (Suburban Utility Vehicle) developed by General Motors, a vehicle that has been praised for its class, sleek design, and off-road handling abilities.

In 2005, GM came out with the Hummer 3 - H3, a smaller sister to its original predecessors, the H1 (the military HMMWV), and the H2 (the civilian Hummer), a Hummer designed to operate and handle better in the city (better fuel efficiency, better urban maneuverability), while still holding on to its off-road capabilities.

The price of a Hummer 3 is a bit lower than the two larger classes of Hummer, and while the cost of a new H3 can be in excess of $40,000, it is still comparable to that of other new vehicles, many of which lack the status or the handling of the Hummer. When measured feature for feature, the Hummer H3 price is not considered to be that much more expensive than some other new cars or SUVs.

If you're looking to buy a Hummer H3, money many not be an issue to you in any case. You could buy one new right off of the lot as is, or if you're wanting to accessorize, you can research an add-on Hummer H3 accessory , so you can always improve, alter, or customize you new Hummer 3 to give it a more personalized feel.

The Hummer family is certainly earning a reputation for its sporty looks and its handling, but despite what you might think, vehicles like the H3 are also being considered as family vehicles, as they are able to accommodate passengers and luggage, and have built high standards for quality, safety, and reliability.
