If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)

[Huck BB62]

What would it be?

I hurt my shoulder, I'm kinda gimped up for a while. I really really REALLY wish that it had a telescoping steering wheel. To put the seat where I want it (pretty far back but not all the way) I feel like I'm driving straight armed. So, I pull the seat up at the expense of my knee comfort to relieve the strain on my shoulder. Granted, I have 130 curves to drive to get home and to work ( I do NOT have the luxury of driving with a finger on the bottom of the steering wheel like a flatlander), but it'd be nice.

Dont use the blue stuff,get the de icer type..Rain ex (orange)or mr clean(green) or prestone (yellow) they work much better and does not freeze.

[Slammed Vette]

Power adjustable seats offered with the cloth seats!!! With mine would have the tilt up like the leather one do.

[K9sH3]

To have the rear side windows open, to allow flow of air inside.

I tried that too. It doe still freeze up. It's the damn nozzles. For whatever reason, they seem to freeze up no matter what. It may be time for a factory hot shot system like they are putting in all the new Thaoe/ Burban, Silverado, Yukon, Escalade, and LE HUMMERS. I would have to go with this upgrade.

OR

The foot pedal thing.

[3Hummer]

To tell you the truth i really dont dislike anything about the car, however one imporvement that would be nice the only thing i find a bother sometimes is where the window buttons are located i would like to have those in a different spot so you dont have to strain or reach accross to reac them.

[dеiтайожни]

Hmm... I've thought about this for awhile and have to say the one improvement I would really like to see would be a v-tec badge located under the H3 emblems.

I would like to have the rear window open. I still like to build things and I can not put anything longer than an 8' board inside.

What's a v-tec badge?

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Honda zoom zoom designation for a special engine, I think...

[DennisAJC]

One improvement? I'd upgrade it to an H2.

Ya bunch of whiney bishes.

[Steve - SanJose]

H2 would be a downgrade to older / lower form of technology. We're not into downward mobility.:jump:

[DennisAJC]

Sorry about that. I had to reboot.


I love H3s!!!!!:perfect10s: :jump:

New placement will start on Jan. 31st.

I dont have any trouble with the window switches at all, in fact I like the current placement. I would like to see the adventure model come out with 35 inch tires from the factory.

But that would make no sense. Vtec for Honda means variable timing and lift and electronic control, and the original statement would assume the vortec engine has no variable timing.

our 07 doesnt have a light
our 06 didnt have one either

do some really have a light ?

[Steve - SanJose]

My 06 H3 has visor lights on both driver and passenger sides, maybe that was included in Luxury package.

gonna have to call the dealer tomorrow

thx steve

[HummBebe]

It was on the early models, then it became a separate option, because it included the "homelink".

Maybe its only on the lux model. My 06 has one on the passenger side, and I haven't checked driver side. My wife just commented on how she liked the fact that it was a dimmer light as opposed to some high powered halogen blinding you. Thats the only way I knew I had one. :beerchug:

[Lex_Ordo]

Only one thing huh?
Well...

I like everything about the truck as is.
But the 'Guage Cluster Dimmer/ Courtesy Light Switch', to adjust the brightness, needs to be changed from a wheel type switch to a push button on & off. Similar to the courtesy lights 'bypass switch' under the main veh lights switch, and the fog lamps switch.

[3Hummer]

well myself heres what i would like to see done
*better located window buttons (as ive said before)
l*ight in the back seat
*handle above the driver side of the roof
*and no attena sticking out of the car
*and instead of backseat that doesnt fold down all the way id have it so it fold down flat

Nothing that big that anyone can live without, but it would just make the car a tad more convineant/nicer

[wpage]

Got to go with a overdrive trany option. No matter what is tryed cant get beyond the 18 mpg barrier. OD gear is needed for highway mpg goals. Not complaining but will trade my 06 when GM does it...

The 4-speed in your H3 is an overdrive trans. Fourth gear is 0.696:1:twak:

See, I just saved you some money.:D

[Zoomie]

From my wife and me, ergo two things:

1. Grab handles on the A pillars like the H2.
2. Relocate those friggin' seat controls! What lame brain came up with that placement!:twak:

Ummmmm.... is this really true? You mean we should be driving around town in 3rd? And using "D" only on the highway? :popcorn:

Perhaps that is why my mileage is so shatty! And to think that I thought it was because I drove it like it is stolen all the time :jump:

[champipple]

damn only one! It's tough but I would say either of these two would sufice.

1:make the seats higher from the floor board feels too much like a sportscar and a bit uncomfortable on long trips.

2: dump that 60:40 folding seat crap.

?pip

[Khoolhandz]

Make it an H1 for the same price !

[ChrisInCali]

Fold-flat reat seats, way more comfortable backseats, more storage space, a dark tinted moonroof, less wind noise, better back speakers on the monsoon, front end level without a t-bar adjustment, better brakes so you don't fly foward when you stop, and much brighter headlights. Honestly almost everything about the interior I hate on the H3, the comfort, the storage space, and the lack of tech offerings. I do however like the balck, aspault like look... I feel like I could never damage anything even if I tried.

[Wisha Haddan H3]

6-speed manual transmission, where 5th gear is 1:1 and 6th is overdrive. The manual gear spacing is adequate in 4hi. But there's too much space between gears in 4lo with the 4:1 ratio.

[Steve - SanJose]

6 speed auto tranny w/paddle shifters would be nice.

If only one I'd choose a bigger rear window top to bottom.

Overall I'd like for the rear wiper to go all the way across, and the rear seats to fold flat.

[BigBill]

1. Removable rear seat headrests - This would definitely help with the rear seat folding flat thus providing even better cargo space.

1. More computer readouts - trip information, gas mileage, distance, etc.

I'm sure there are more items that I'd like to see changed, but for the most part I still love my H3!

[gibby560]

Be able to lock the doors from the rear cargo area with a switch like you can in other SUV's.

i agree with bigbill, more computer readouts - trip information, gas mileage, distance, etc.

BUT my thing would be changeable instrument panel light colors like in wife 08 GT mustang...something is boring about the color or lack of color in instruments....

...and strobe lights and disco balls. Hell, turn the inside of the H3 into a rave.

thanks for the nuthouse welcome:dancingbanana: i opted out for the disco ball but am considering strobes for those late night adventures on the trail with GHB. (just kidding) i just hate plain colored dash lites..lol

[Spuds]

How about one per post?;)

After having my H3 for about a month the single thing I miss most is the large storage cubbies in the front doors that my Touareg had. They were extra deep and sized perfectly length and width wise, for a five cell Maglight.

So what is up with the useless skinny door pockets on the H3?????!!!!!!! They are almost identical to my 80's era Grand Wagoneers! They look like they were made for carrying envelopes to the post office.
:lame:

Surely someone looked at those during testing and thought, "Hmmmmmm, we can do better."

Still love my H3, but there are many obvious design shortcomings all over the H3.

Could it be the large corporate mentality at GM that makes it hard for someone to simply say, "Hey, this could be designed better"......and have it happen? :popcorn:

[fourfourto]

So what is up with the useless skinny door pockets on the H3?????!!!!!!!
:iagree: My murano door pockets expanded out,you could get a lot of stuff in there.
