First impression - H#:
I drove the base package model and the "Adventure Package"model.
This vehicle is small. If it were not raised 12 inches offits frame it would look like a small SUV like the Jeep Liberty.
No telescoping steeringwheel. No excuse for not having one.
No power seats available in cloth - the manual lumbar mechanism is inadequate.
Tire noise on the Adventure package is really loud.
Engine would be great for a Jeep Liberty but needs another 75 horses for this heavy vehicle. Why use a nice but underpowered motor on a 4800 pound vehicle?
Panic braking is, well, Panicky!
Body sway is significant, so dont try flinging this thing around - although the diminutive size makes you think you could.
Price is simply too high for what you get. Other SUV choices make the H3 purchase more a statement of individuality than value or functionality.
I am glad I had the opportunity to drive the vehicle. I am sure GM will sell a bunch.
GM is just plain stupid not to offer ALL of their vehicles for the "Employee Price" - yes, including the H3 and the Corvette.
Besides, just cutting their profit (increasing their loss) per vehicle will not reprise a company which has been out of touch for about two decades.
I will pass on the H3. But it would be fun to rent one on accasion! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>It doesn't have a frig in it.
It won't do zero-60 in 3.9 sec.
Stopping is like.....stopping.
Just in case, it's sarcasm.
That's about as informed a review as a I have seen an individual make.
Why would you even bother to spend the time to type that junk? I hadn't realized that they put a 12 inch body lift on the H3. Also, since you made the comparison and view yourself as some messenger. Let me point to the error of your message. A picture speaks much more than words.
