I finally saw the H3 on the dealer's lot. It was already sold so we couldn't test drive it --just view the interior. I drive a Suburban, so I am comparing my likes and dislikes on the H3 to that:
You gotta love the look--too cool. I appreciate the fact that GM has come out with a smaller version of the H2 which is a little too big for me. Better gas mileage is also a plus.
I thought it was kind of small. Now, don't anyone slam me for that. I also drive a MINI so I know what small is. Kind of small to me is when it only seats 2 comfortably in the back seat. With the cupholders placement and the narowness of the seat 3 adults would seem to be be uncomfortable in the rear. It was hard to tell though b/c we couldn't get in--just look. Anyone have a different opinion?
I also think the rear door hinge looks a little weak to support that beefy door and the spare tire. Maybe someone can enlighten me on the quality of the hinge.
The door windows seem chopped. I guess I mean that they aren't that high--seems like claustrophobia to me in the back seat.
I'm not an off road person so those H# capabilities don't mean much to me. I can get a fully loaded Suburban (leather, power everything, DVD, etc) for around $35,000 or the H3 for around $32,000 (leather, no DVD). Hmmmm...I just can't decide.
Can any of you H3 owners give me your comments on this? It's hard to decide to buy a vehicle you haven't even been able to test drive.
