O.K. - I'll jump in here.
I've been driving mine daily for about 2 months now, and love it.
Width - Still fits in my garage. Actually a bit shorter in length, and no worries of catching a cross bar on the top of the door jamb. Bank drive thru's are no prob. Sonic is a tight fit but doable.
Only 4 seats, yes. I have two teen age boys as well. Rarely do both go w/friends at one time. (I've got a Suburban in the wings for people hauling)
Daily runs - - getting in and out - - actually has a lower step in height than my H2 did.
Noise - - yes it's noisier than my H2 was, but I think if you put a diesel in the H2 they would not be that far apart. (the H2 was noisy compared to my wife's Yukon Denali)
Smell - - I don't really notice it.
I really liked my H2 and the 13 months I spent with it. I think it is a great vehicle, and will admit that I do miss some of the creature comforts it offered, but overall the H1 wins out in my book.
John
