    What's up from Phoenix



    Nice forum. Led here by an inquiry into laminar flow and I got the receiver discussion in the Supermarket chat. So I signed up and will be gleening of you guys. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

    Re: What's up from Phoenix

    WebRam,

    Did you rent a H3 Hummer on vacation?

    What were your impressions, complaints, or comments about the vehicle? I've been looking at these, so any first hand reviews would be welcome.

    Thanks.

    Re: What's up from Phoenix

    Yes I did
    I just love the H2 but this baby is great on gas.
    Getting in and out of it is a task as its a bit tight fitting, but once in there its a dream to drive. You have to watch it though as it can wander. Off road was cool, everything a hummer should be. Lucky for me, the sticker that tells you not to take it off road somehow fell off LOL Plus this baby was brand spanking new, it only had 18 miles on the clock when I got it so I felt obliged to put it through its paces. The picture was taken just past Apache Junction, and just next to Superstition Mountain.

    It must have blew off when you had the windows down.

    I noticed the Hummer you rented came with the optional Rams decal. Now that's service from a rental company. Perhaps they only do that for VIP's.

    You have to watch it though as it can wander.
    I've heard there have been some minor problems with torsion bar adjustments, perhaps this was the cause. Or, maybe it was just the driver.

    Was this a 2007 model? Any complaints about acceleration or braking?

    The only real complaint I have heard (besides the 2006 lack of power) was the brake pedal was too close to the gas pedal. Any problems?

    Thanks for the info.

    mm, well I hired it mid September 06, not sure if thats the 07 model.
    I did find the brake and gas pedal close but just thought is was my big feet LOL

    acceleration and braking was just fine

    Thanks for the info. It seems the little beast keeps getting some good word of mouth advertising.

    The 07 models have been out for about 6 weeks now that I know of. They did some engine work to get more power out of it.

    It is always so refreshing to have someone who is willing and informed to tell someone how to think or act. I will be sure to take this under advisement.
