Acceleration --> It’s an SUV not a Porsche, Add a supercharger.
Fuel economy --> Just as good and better than some in mid-size SUV class.
Access --> Kids and I ran through all access passages with ease. I guess if your 7 foot tall and weigh 400 pounds it could be an issue.
Visibility --> Whatever, depends on how stoned you are. Better visibility than my wife’s Audi A6 quattro in the blind spots. Granted there is a rear view blind spot.
Ride --> Plush, stable, and very secure feeling like a tank! Above 85 see acceleration
Heavy tailgate --> Take the damn spare off you pzy, my 9 year old daughter opened it with ease.
Emergency handling --> Roof rail airbags biotch, it’s a SUV not an Audi.

Consumer Reports is pretty much a circle jerk as far as I am concerned. I have purchased alot of things they have slammed and never had any issues, etc. that they claim....sometimes I wonder whose payroll they are on.

Try http://www.edmunds.com and look into buyers opinions as well as here for a true pulse of whats going on with the H3.

Go do some test drives and form your own conclusions!

None of my opinions are pointed at you BigBill, they are at consumer reports, don't want you to feel like this was an attack against you. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

No offense taken. I completely agree with you. Edmunds is a great site as well as just plain old physical testing. I am 6'7 and 228 lbs. and do need a larger vehicle, but I think the H3 is big enough for me. I know that it is not a Porsche, but I do occasionally drive in Colorado and know that some of the highway grades do warrant a more powerful engine.
