32,000 and 16,000 Miles Later

[TGCOFTN]

As a owner of a 2007 Hummer H2 and a 2008 Hummer H2, I have really been able to compare them every week. Some of you that have read my post may remember me, and some of the things I have said.

I just thought I would give a review of my experience with them.
My 2007 Hummer H2 now has 32,000 miles on it. The only problems I have had is the body mounts were making a popping noise. They were fixed under warranty. Now the popping noise is fixed. Another problem I have had is the air conditionor smells like mildew/mold when you first turn it on (about 2 minutes) and then it clears up. Other than those two problems, the 2007 has been excellent.

My 2008 Hummer H2 now has 16,000 miles on it. (last Friday, I tacked on 1,260 miles in 20 hours). My experience with the 2008 with the new 6.2 Liter V8 is..........it reminds me of a DIESEL ENGINE. Some of you may think huh???? My experience with this engine is, it DEF. GETS BETTER with the more miles you put on it. When I first got it, I took it to the dealer a couple times, told them its not right, its sluggish, no power, and my 2007 with the 6.0 Liter felt 10x stronger. I told them when it saw a hill, it was already downshifting BEFORE it started going up the hill, like it was scared of the hill. Now that it has 16,000 miles on it, the engine feels a lot better, more power, (now that its looser, and broken in). It took me awhile to get use to the 6 speed tranny, but again, my experience is, it improves with more miles you put on it.
I dont drive the 2008 much, it mainly sits in the garage for a week or two, and then one day I will tack on 1,000--1,200 miles in 20 hours(Business trips), and then it will sit another week or so, but overall, I gotta say, the more I drive it, the better I like it.

I have always been a huge fan of the 6.0 Liter V8, its a tried and true engine, with very little problems, but from my experience on "LONG TRIPS" the 6.2 Liter V8 is actually the better engine for the longer runs.

While both the 07, and 08 Hummers are VERY comfortable, I still would have to vote for the 07 (seats are much better) than the 08 seats. Just seems like its more support.

Last Friday, I had the 2008 loaded down with 6 guys for a 1,260 mile business trip. It performed EXCELLENT.

As I have said in many of my post, these are def. the best vehicles I have ever owned, and on a scale of 1--10, I would rate them a 10+++.
