Default Re: I5 or V8?

I had one of the first '06 H3s in 2005 and drove it in the mountains, on long trips, and all over the place. I would describe the power as adequate, the interior comfort as excellent, and its ability offroad as incredible.
The 2007 I5 has a little more punch to it that you can feel in the seat of your pants, and the V8 is obviously very strong, but I didn't buy the Hummer to burn rubber or tow, I bought it to get through the woods and the creeks and the mud trails here and it did just fine at that. In the heat of Death Valley and on the way to Vegas in 110 temperatures, the I5 never overheated or got very warm and the inside stayed cool with the AC. In the winter the I5 it would always start.
