The Battle Of ‘H,’ Hummer vs Honda
Posted Apr 9, 2007 by Vidisha Priyanka
Updated Apr 9, 2007 at 03:12 PM
As I see my neighbor ride home in that honking big Hummer of hers while I slink by in my beat up jalopy, I wish I had the invisible mirror technology of James Bond on my car so that no one could see it.
Don’t get me wrong. I love my little Honda, it has been with me through thick and thin. I have taken many a trips with it without any trouble. It still doesn’t give me any trouble but I am losing faith.
It has 166k miles on it.
I have a myriad of questions.
Will it still run?
What if I am stranded in the middle of the night somewhere?
What will I do if it starts to overheat and I have no gas station in sight and no water in the car?
Yes, yes, I have a cell phone. But what does that matter if my car gives up on me?
I have to have a certain degree of anxiety. After all I am a modern woman.
So I look at my neighbor’s Hummer with envy, and I tell myself I am doing a great service to the environment by running my Honda that gives me 33 miles per gallon. (in the city and yes this is indeed true). I tell myself, the Hummer is contributing to the fossil fuel extinction.
It is not the exterior that matters, it is how you are inside. I shall remain loyal to my car, till my mechanic convinces me to buy another.
I wish I could drive that Hummer, or at least not pull in at the same time my neighbor does. The dilemma of the modern woman consumes me.

Vidisha,
Fear not! Your Honda will probably still run better than your neighbor’s Hummer. You’ve got one of the best cars made. The Hummer is on the low end of the quality spectrum.
Enjoy driving by the gas stations!

No contest. Honda wins any day and any place.

As long as your Honda runs fine with good fuel consumption, it’s better to hold till it starts as problematic as. I wish you shouldn’t come have negative thoughts. Learn more by visiting

Thanks for the review. I am heading up to San Jose for a visit with my sister and we will give this place a try.

They key to complete desktop security is intrusion prevention. You should take care to use antivirus programs that come prepackaged with options that allow you to run preventative maintenance because if you’re not trying to keep threats out, you’re taking two steps back every time you try to clean out your drive. örgü

Why argue about gasoline slurping monsters when scooters is the melody of the future?
Por (Ronald) on July 26, 2008
Van Lease I am off the opinion that the Hummer is a far better solution..Just my 2 cents
Por (Greed) on August 08, 2008
Yeah, that’s always a situation with us human beings, we are never happy with what we have, we will always want that great, pricey car our neighbor has. You’re not the only one. I invite you to check: new car prices, maybe we can find here the dream car to please our greed.

Great comparison. However, I am of the opinion that the Hummer is a much classier vehicle.

Hummesr are definitely the way to go!
Por (Motorcycle Fairings) on September 08, 2008
I agree. Honda > than Hummer any day in my book. That is one reason I continually sell Honda Fairings non-stop. Just my $0.02.
Por (Aage) on October 14, 2008
LOL, cute story. I would love to drive a hummer just once…

Hummers are too big, they consume too much petrol/gas and they look like a pain to park. A Honda on the other hand are totally the opposite.

Honda is a very appropriate vehicle for the company medium thank
