H1 vs H2 Hummers

Well-known member
I'm trading in my rover for a hummer. I really want an H1, but can only afford a 1998 or older. They are the same price as a brand new H2. I want the turbo diseal for sure. What are you thoughts on the two.

I've driven the H1's and on campus they are a bitch to park, the h2's are too common here now. I think the h2 is just a burban with a little extras??
 
Ya but consider warranty, gas mileage, and brand new vs. a '98 with 50k and no warranty.

I think the h2's are puss's, but H1's are loud and slow and HOT AC sux, wide as hell, no parts, unless you wait six weeks for tire rod ends, etc. This will be my main vehicle so it needs to be reliable.
 
THIS WILL BE YOUR MAIN VEHICLE? I HOPE YOU DONT DO A LOT OF DRIVING.....THE H2 ONLY GETS 8 MILES/GALLON. I'D LOVE TO HAVE AN H2 (OR H1 FOR THAT MATTER) BUT ITS SIMPLY NOT RATIONAL FOR ME JUST YET. I'M NOT EVEN OUT OF COLLEGE YET.

ANYWAY, CONTACT BABYDOC. YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN HIS H1. HE'S LETTING IT GO FOR A GREAT PRICE. NOT MANY MILES ON IT AT ALL.

Warranty??? Well, if you buy the H1, you won't have too much to worry about... They may not be super fast, but those Diesels are extremely dependable. Besides, if you really want a warranty, you can buy one aftermarket from www.warrantygold.com They have the most comprehensive warranty anywhere including factory warranties... I have thier warranties on 2 of my vehicles. Gas mileage??? No contest... The diesel will ALWAYS be better on fuel. IMO, the H1 is a much more capable vehicle, and the H2 isn't much more parking-lot friendly than the H1, so you're not losing by getting an H1. My question is this... You said you were driving around "on campus" so I assume you're a college student... That being the case, if you have $50k to blow on a vehicle, why would you buy a hummer??? if you're an avid off-roader, no need to answer that question, but if you're not, why aren't you getting a nice Vette or Escalade, or something like that?

I think the h2's are puss's, but H1's are loud and slow and HOT AC sux, wide as hell, no parts, unless you wait six weeks for tire rod ends, etc. This will be my main vehicle so it needs to be reliable.

Ok, start with this... I think that the H2 is a decent, capable vehicle for what it is, but if you saw the most recent luxury SUV ratings, it rated DEAD LAST against the others like the Escalade, LX470, Rover, and the like. As far as the H1 goes, yup, they're loud, yup, they're pretty slow too, but if you're looking for quiet and fast, don't buy an SUV, buy a nice sports car, or something like a Caddy STS. If you're buying this vehicle for its off-road prowess, no question, buy the H1. As far as parts, I don't know if you've ever seen the tierod ends on an H1, but unless you're seriously beating the shit out of it, you'll probably never own it long enough to have to replace one, so I wouldn't worry too much about parts, because the drivetrain is all pretty much standard GM. By the way, the H2 is no speed demon either, if you're looking for a nice SUV with balls, again, go with the Escalade.

a H1 is a big bitch to park and the H2 is a steriod induced Suburban but still have a hard time parking cause its still wide not as wide as a H1 but getting close.
 
oubeta,

As you know, I had an H1, and although I loved it, it just wasn't practical at all. I agree, the H2 isn't nearly as mean as the H1, but I think you may be happier with the H2 in the long run because it is more convenient. The H1 will probably hold its value better though. If you had 110k to burn, I would say go with a new H1, but between a 98 H1 and a 2003 H2, I would stick with the safer bet.
 
I PM'd you. You can also tak to Kel, she drives it daily. It is a beast and except for when it gets to the 100's here (Arizona) because it doesn't have good front window tinting, it is the most fun to drive.

concerns:

speed/accel: with the turbodiesel it gets up there plenty fast for anyone driving around in a vehicle with a GVR of 12,500. I have used it to blaze to the hospital and had it up at 80MPH no problem- people get the Fuck out of your way.

mileage: diesel is cheaper and it easily gets 13MPG at worst. Gas cost/mile is about the same as my 2002 911 C4s

repair costs: If you have an good mechanic (average GM trucks) he can fix it easy, sometimes you have to order a part or two which are twice the cost that they should be but they get there fast.

Uniqueness : we're talking about a $110,000 SUV here. It gets more looks and thumbs up than anything I have EVER driven.

Parking : wherever you want. No one can tow you anyway.

anyway PM/ e-mail me or Kel
 
simple solution: get a wrangler rubicon.
 
I used to have an h1 before i got my vette...It was a 97 open top turbo diesel... I didn't have much trouble parking it, it just meant that i had to look around a while to find a suitable space... H1s are far more versatile and better looking than the h2... But my H1 had lots of problems

Had it for 16 months under warranty here are all the things that went wrong:

Engine #8 cylinder went twice 6 months apart
Heat and A/C went out after 3 months then again at 12 months
CTIS never worked even though it was fixed 3 times

I bought the car with a clean title and it only had 25k miles on it when i bought it... I loved driving it but after my warranty went out, i had to sell it because it was always in the shop and ended up constantly driving a rent car... And i also knew a few other people that had the same exact problems that i did with pre-98 hummer... Supposedly those flaws were fixed after 97... So if you are gonna get an h1 go for 98 and up otherwise get an h2. They are more luxurious on the interior anyways
 
Went and test drove H2's today and felt like I was driving a Yukon. I have (well kinda have now) a streetbike to drive also. I think I'm going with an older H1 like a 98-00. I just like to year the motor and feel the power,,,. H1's are too pretty..
 
OMG is the world going gay? I can't believe we're actually having a conversation on this.
 
That's a really hard choice. If money weren't an issue, i still think i would choose the H2 because of where i live. If i did nothing but travel offroad, then the H1 would be my choice. Sure the H1 has a much better engine and all, but have you ever sat in an H2? Feels so damn good.
 
Dude... if you have a hummer, you can just ram other cars out of the way when you park... no problem.

C-ditty
 
I have an H2 and have driven a few H1's around for awhile. It boils down to this for me, if you have to drive the thing around everyday, get an H2.. Be cool go to the gym auto, get the H1. The H2 is miles ahead in the comfort department as well. Smooth ride with the air suspension. I have beat on it pretty hard off road and with the rear locking diff (manual on dash), air suspension and traction control it does very well.

The amazing thing is the only time I have ever gotten negative comments was from Saturn/Honda/Mitsu crowd with the funky wing and LED's in the wiperblades type.
 
One thing to consider about the H1 and H2 is this - the H1 is its own vehicle platform while the H2 is a hodge-podge of different assembly lines.

Basically the H2 is just a promotional marketing item made from parts of other existing SUV lines. It's a piece of junk in my opinion.

What about the plymouth prowler it used parts from different chrysler cars. Only think that was unique was the frames suspension and body. Did you think it was a piece of junk too?
 
The prowler is not a complete piece of junk - only partial. Practicality plays a small role in my choice of vehicles. And my point had more to do with the H2 being a complete marketing tool to capitalize on the SUV market.

The prowler was more of a high end concept/throw back car.

Oh - and at the least the H1 bears some direct relationship to the original army issue Hummer. The H2 owes itself to a drawing board and corporate marketing.
 
Wait, I know. How about you construct a giant penis on wheels that you ride around in, that has "actual size" printed on the side of it. It will have an engine the size of Endeavor that runs on disease vaccines and babies. Then you don't even have to worry about which car you get and everyone will get the picture.

If it wasn't for the fact that I can't park a Hummer where I live (it's forbidden in 95% of the streets) I would buy yours, even if I still think you're a dick....lol
 
Since I do sheetmetal work im thinking of ripping the body of an old 4x4blazer I got and build a complete custom body for it. Something looking similar to a H1 but smaller. I also have a little ford festive that I chopped the top off and made a convertible out of. People are like-whats that? Oh its a bmw import about 15 years old....ha ha.

Why? I thought you were sure I didn't have one. BTW, I'd rather light it on fire and drive it into a lake than sell it to you.

As for the standard (and expected) "dick size" comments, it would be more realistic to think that people who comment on the size of anOTHER person's penis because he drives an expensive car or wears an expensive watch or lives in an expensive house are really more concerned and insecure with the size of THEIR penises. Like you should NOT buy a Ferrari or a Hummer or a Porsche because some loser that can't afford one is gonna think you have a small dick?
LOL!
 
THanks for the PM. that's what I'm looking for. I just need to sell my Rover and really didn't want to fuck with it. I rather ust trade it in, but I guess I'd geta better deal selling it int he autotrader or something. Are you avtively trying to sell it right now?
