I'm not out to burn the tires, and from what I have seen on some steep grades, I have no problem with the H3. When off-roading, it does very well, and the top of the mountain can wait for me. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Its anecdotal, but two weeks ago returning from a trip in the H3, we had to drive the long straight (20 mile?) but fairly gentle grade between Palm Springs and Ontario in a pretty stiff headwind, and I had to drop to 60mph and shift to 3rd gear. In "D", the H3 would bog down then violently shift to 2nd (over 5000 RPM). It was pretty frustrating not being able keep up with normal traffic without running at a ridiculous engine speed. I hadn't felt like that since I had my pre-turbo M/B 300D. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
