Wise words f5stop. In comparison to the other SUVs, the H3 is definitely not a stellar pavement pounder. It is not a glorified car, and it should not be expected to perform like one.
The H3 is quite a bit quicker and it feels like it has more power than my 4.0L WJ. I think it is fine on the power department. It may lag a little in higher elevations or long uphill climbs, but I think the general populace would be unable to handle an H3 with a V8.
Honestly, it is just the reviewers opinion, and it should matter very little. If you are happy with your rig, who cares what the others think. Consumer reports has rated all my cars as unreliable, except one. I owned a 91 Honda in college, and it was the most unreliable piece of crap I ever owned.
Perhaps these power hungry reviewers will prompt GM to go diesel or add a supercharger.
