Ha, I'm only 25, the Jeep is looking like it's going to win, because well Hummer is slow to call me back. Has anyone here had anything bad happen to their H3, i.e. some spineless b*tch keying it, because I've heard that happens some with Hummers.

K9sH3 · #5 10-30-2006, 07:41 PM

Go another Hummer dealer if the first one won't call or deal. As for the spineless biatches out there, Man I hope that doesn't happen to you, me or anyone else. I have never understood why destroy another mans property. If someone has a problem with me, come to me. Not my H3, house, wife or kids.

All kidding aside...

If you want a GREAT ROAD VEHICLE that can do off roading in stock form get the H-3 (i'm talking totally stock here)

BUT

If you want a GREAT OFF ROAD VEHICLE that can do regular driving, altho noisy and not as smoothe as the H-3, or as polished then get the RUBI (i'm talking totally stockhere also)

I'm guessing you don't absolutely need the removable half or full doors, removable top, electronic sway bar disconnect, sfa with front locker and full internal roll cage, or you wouldn't be asking. You'd have to go with the JK. And tho Jeep has a longer history, both brands are legends.

It sounds like both are priced right and will do what you want, so it should come down to which one fits and feels better. Test drive them both again and run them through their paces. Take them offroad if you can. Think about passing, acceleration, comfort and control placement. If you're seriously thinking about upgrading a JK-X, consider warranty issues, cost and downtime while you install and adjust them.

I have nothing bad to say about the JK ... it seems awesome. But I sure do love my 5-spd H3 adventure w/ sunroof & monsoon. Fits me ergonomically, does great on-road and is amazing offroad. Huge sunroof and sweet Monsoon mp3 sound system. Plus, the radio and hvac controls are easy to use with my gloves on and eyes on the road. Onstar is cool, with the built-in phone, vehicle diagnostics, theft locator, driving directions, and emergency services. It's safe too ... 5-star crash rating and front to rear side curtain airbags.

Good luck making up your mind ... they're both great trucks. If you can wait a year, the H3 is supposed to get a bigger engine, prob a V8.

Having had 2 Wrangler Sports (can't speak to 4 door version), I think the H3 is far superior. IMO these 2 trucks are COMPLETELY different. Maybe comperable offroad capabilities, but all other areas are no where close. Wrangler brings rougher ride and unfinished interior - and a new set of worries. I constantly worried about leaving the top down/doors off and what some idiot kid would do to the jeep. I also worried about leaving anything in the jeep bc it was so easy to break into. I don't offroad much, except for the sand on the coast of NC and can honestly say the H3 performed better than the Jeeps... Just an honest opinion, either way you shouldn't go wrong. Good Luck!

I can't even believe we are having this debate! Who in their right mind would choose a Jeep (Of which the world is already overpopulated with) over a Hummer H3? Both vehicles will get you there on or off the road, but the H3 gets more attention, is more comfortable, and looks cooler than a tired old Jeep. Those of you who say buy the Jeep shouldn't even be on this forum!

One thing to consider.

Last month my wife and I drove our 07 H3 with adventure package to Moab from Houston. It was as comfortable as our Chevy Tahoe. It was a 2700 mile round trip.

When we got to Moab, we did really well on the trails.

Is it as capable as a Rubicon at Moab? No, but almost.

Would I want to drive a Rubicon on a 2700 mile round trip? I don't think so. I would be crippled and deaf. I have friends who complain about how uncomfortable the Jeep is in driving around in Houston traffic.

The H3 is a better all around vehicle. The H3 with the adventure package exceeds my off road abilites. Just my 2 cents.

Unless you are spending most of your vehicle time off road. The H3 is superior overall. The H3 offers a better blend of creature comforts combined with ability in the field....

Same here, and I'll bet she's smarter than Hillary Clinton too.

I saw a new JK 4 door at Paragon today. Too bad it just sat in the parking lot and didn't come out with us...

Ok. Do you honestly think the Heep based Magazine (Four Wheeler) would pick the Hummer from this group? Their loyal customers and readers (95% Heep Owners) who copy their articles and post on websites they have no affiliation with would no longer pay for the magazine or visit the site. Come back down to reality, boss. ONLY way to really understand which vehicle is better offroad is to quit "magazine off-roading" and hit the trails...

I am a former Jeep owner (twice) and would never rule out owning another one. The purpose of this thread is to help someone decide between a Wrangler and H3. Reason I weighed in is because I have had both. Remind us again why you chimed in, or better yet why you even have an account on this site.

Do you have a Jeep website we can visit to bash Jeeps? Just curious.
