I Have been in the Xterra, and rented many times, is it nice? hell yah! But really is it a H3 No way no how!!! Sit and drive the xterra, Sit and drive the H3, the best way is to go to Hertz or any car company leasing for the day and drive them both.It will solve your answer without spending a ton of cash. H3 will be your choice. Your a puss if you like the xterra. for sure.

So I got a Trunk Trend magazine yesterday. I think this is Motor Trends magazine for trucks but not sure. Anywho, the information they put is so contradictory.

For example the H3 gets 5 stars for off-road above all other even the Range Rover that got 4.5 stars (but cost over twice as much. So, they give it 5 stars for off-road but only 2 stars for value.

How retarded. So they are basically saying this is a 5 star rating best of the best off-road vehichle. Even better then a $60,000 + Range Rover but it's not nota good value.

The only thing good about this magazine is that it shows the H3 flying through the air and visually it makes the H3 the best of the best.

I think like some of you alluded to, they are in bed with Nissan.

I woulden't consider a Range Rover a good value, because of the high maintenance cost and reliability which is poor.
They are in the shop so much, it give new meaning to the term off road.

We have both.

It has great storage and lot's of neat things like the 12V socket inside the storage consol to recharge the phone. H O W E V E R , I T I S N O T A H U M M E R.

The Hummer has a more solid feel and more polished (not hard plastic) inteior.

Also the H3 accelerates better on the highway, yes even with it's lower horsepower.

And I can tow with my H3, all of the Xterra's have a recall to replace the entire rear hich assembly, and they don't have any to put on yet. They say it can fail without warning.

Hummer wins in my book.

Quick, someone go rent an xterra and take it on the trail (w/ video) and have it try to follow an H3.

(Just remember to buy that extra insurance /giggle)
