Pros and Cons of a Hummer

When driving on the road, at least in America, you’ll most likely see very boxy and wide looking vehicles that take up an entire car lane. Those are Hummers. The design of a Hummer originally came from military vehicles and has been transformed into something for the entire community over the years. But, as with every vehicle, there are pros and cons to the Hummer.

The pros of the Hummer lie mainly in the interior of the vehicle. The inside of a Hummer is packed with loads of standard features. There is plenty of cargo space so you can store in as much as you want. There is lots of space for passengers to get comfortable and the car is still nice when all the windows are down. For sound, there is a 9 speaker BOSE music system installed in the dash with an exchangeable CD player. The Hummer also has great towing abilities and best off-road capabilities in its class.

Now I’ll list off the cons of a Hummer. As previously mentioned, the Hummer is very boxy and big and it usually takes up an entire car lane. Therefore, highway merging, lane switching and passing take a considerable amount of patience. Not only that but, it’s hard to get a Hummer up to speed quickly. When reaching 60 mph, the noise of a hummer can quite annoying. To top it all off, the fuel efficiency is horrible. The miles per gallon range from 8.6 to 12. Hummers really aren’t very good for long distance travel.
