Does anyone here have a Hummer H1?
 

I'm very displeased with my latest Audi, hence, I've decided to trade it in. I'm considering a pre-owned H1 convertible (diesel), and would like to gather some owner experiences before making the plunge. My gripe with my Audi is that it has been a maintenance nightmare.

Weird dude I had one of the first TT's a few years ago and it was a dream.

Aside from the pussy engine and the Jetta-like handling.

Tell me about it, this is my fourth. Since I'm a big bitch (6'6"), I opted for the A8 this time. I love the ride and handling for such a large car, but I've blown 2 what they refer to as "quatto seals", and a valve cover gasket. You know how embarassing it is to drive down the road in a 60k car that is smoking? Now the fucking transmission clunks (I hope it is something as simple as a universal joint of some description) and I get an intermittent "L1" error along with some check engine shit on occasion.

On the other hand, my A6 quatto only had scheduled maintenance performed until I turned it in at 120k miles. The same can be said for my 100 quattro.

I'm sure the AM General is no cream puff when it comes to maintenance, but I want to avoid something that will develop into a complete hassle.

Yeah i got a4, lots of problems some oil gasket broke, then some other shit, bs.


my friends a6 always in the body shop as well,


Nasty thing.


got to look for something more reliable !


:2 cents:

We've got a 98 H1 you can buy ;)

Nothing wrong with it, we just don't need so many cars.

There is a lot of space inside, the only gripe I really have with it is the front seats are about two miles apart --

Diesel convertible?

I have a 98 wagon loaded to the hilt.
I have beat the living shit out of it taking it everywhere, and all I do is change the oil normally. I couldnt ask for a more reliable vehicle. I also like the fact that I would survive driving over a land mine or taking a directy artillery hit...but that doesnt seem to be a problem around here :1orglaugh
Try doing this with an audi...

ahahah...fucking classic :thumbsup

Sweet, thanks for the input. I intend to be a bit gentler with mine, so I assume it should serve me well.

We have been looking for a Hummer for a couple of months.

It can be difficult to find the right one in Australia.

your friend cut the frame of the car to stick a box with 3 subs in the rear deck , cause he wanted it to sound like a hatchback , and has rewired the car himself 3-4 times??? or am i thinking of someone else ?

I have an a4 , I'm convinced audis are nice cars. Bimmers and Benzes are better, but much more expensive.

The H1 is a really nice truck compared to the toy hummer H2, you wont be crossing any rivers in that thing.

well i don't have any experience with the commercial hummers
but the military ones do kick ass but they breakdown to easy,
maybe cuz of the diesel engine or because i drove the fuck out of it

there very hard to drive because its so wide and bitch to park in parking lots, i know i tore plenty of side view mirrors in my time,,


since your a big man i suggest you go with the new Navigators,
they got air condition bucket seats,, need i say more?

4 dr diesel hardtop. Test drive the convertible and you can't hear yourself think :(

I want to buy a TT, never had any bad things about them till now

Kimmy, baby...
How much you want for that hummer?

I'm lookin' for a new (used) car/hog-of-the-road.
