Default Things I would change...

Best 4x4...period.

This month snow as finally been an issue. I pulled a neighbour's new RAV4 out of a ditch and up the road with her standing on the brakes (I guess thats how she ended up in the ditch), in 6 inches of snow on a layer of ice, uphill a moderate incline. Impressive.

I also had to drive an old lady up her steep drive to her home everytime she went out as her daughter's Nissan Pathfinder spun 180 going down and couldn't make it up since. As the H3 is new to me, I drove up and down her hill without any problems. Lo range + rear locker is unstoppable.

I even like how the H3 throws mud and dirt everywhere. 1 mile down a logging road and there is like 1" of mud caked to the rear fender flares and covering all of the door handles. Its like having no fenders!

Things I would change:

1. Radio antenna move to the rear door. When you drive down brushed in roads, it catches constantly and threatens to tear off.

2. Rubber floor. The rubber mats are good but I often have 1/2" water under the mat when the snow melts in the mat.

3. Rear window controls hit my funny bone. Not a bad problem, just annoying.

4200 KM without a problem until my ONStar buttons stopped working (no green LED by the buttons to indicate that it is working). When I tried to check the fuses, I snapped one of the plastic tabs off the fuse box cover. Stong fingers or cheap plastic?? I guess it was trying to remind me that this is still a GM product...sigh.
