After waiting over a year to get my 07 H3..I am not the least bit dissipointed in power of the H3. Why...well for one I realize what this Rig is. It's a 4900 lb SUV with 33" tires and 4 wheel drive. It's got great balls off the line and zips thru traffic just like any other vehical out their.
It handles grate..stops very well and has excellent manors. I also understand that it lacks some power for passing...but I take this into account when driving and passing. It's an SUV..not my 65 Corvette with a 502 BB.... That's a different story.
Drive what you need ... Need what you drive..
