Felt very unsecure at highway speeds, horrible breaking. Hell maybe there was something wrong with the one I drove other than the fact it wasn't an H2. As far as leg room, I'm only 6'1", 240lbs, hell yeah theres a difference in leg room! Perhaps you forgot to move your seat back in the H2 Razm. =P
Ego boost? Sorry, thats hardly the reason many of us H2 owners bought an H2. Honestly, I didn't lose any sleep the night I spent the extra 20k on the H2. I wasn't looking for the cheaper version H3 just to save money, or the extra fuel economy (not saying you did). I was going for the functionality 1st, the comfort 2nd, and of course the looks!! Sexy sexy BIATCH!!! Not to mention the H2 handles remarkably well, not just for what it is, but compared to anything I've ever driven. I personally wouldn't be caught dead in an H3. I offered my wife the opportunity to trade her 350Z in for an H3 because she wants a small SUV or pickup. Thought it would be cute her taking our child to soccer practice in. She said, "Not just NO, but HELL NO". She wants the H2. =)
Of course, if the H3 fits you, then it fits you. Personally, I hate the H3. Some day when the Iraq war is over, I'll be at the auction looking to buy a used military H1.

The moment you said horrible handling and braking, and it felt insecure, I stopped reading your trash
What a bunch of crap, everybody who drives the H3 always says how it controls like a sports car, not 5000lbs+ truck, and the braking is the best I've ever experienced in an SUV. If you're gonna knock it, atleast make an ounce of sense.
BTW, the H3 runs 4 piston opposed calipers on the front, the H2 runs 2 piston calipers

Yeah, braking really must've sucked in your 'test drive.' Getting your wife tampons doesn't count as test driving a truck.
