Hey guys...just thought I'd drop in on this thread.
You gotta understand something....this is an H2 forum, and lots of people here just blew some major coin to own the "worlds most formiddable offroad vehicle".....and...it's just the energy to root for the home-team. YOu can almost call it H2-denial.
The truth is...the H2 is far from being a super-capable offroad vehicle. The thing is pretty darn wide, it lacks clearance....combined with it's long wheelbase...the last thing is can do is rock-crawl.
That's not to say it can't do some crazy-good stuff. They climb very well, we can abuse some serious side-slope and they repeatedly surprise the heck out of many people. You'll come to find that when you do finally get to offroad with one of them. Well...assuming the driver isn't some moron.
What the H2 is good for is this: packing up the whole darn family and heading out for a weekend of camping. If it's sheer offroad performance, it's hard to beat a modded-out Suzuki Samari or monster Jeep. The modded Taco is pretty darn nice too!
The H2 is entirely in a different class, it's a luxury SUV with some kick-ass 4x4 features that can be surprisingly effective on many terrains.
In the end, it's all about toys and having fun. It's almost like a fishing rod collection or guns: no one particular thing is going to be perfect all around. But then again....I'm not telling you something you don't know already.
Don't let the H2 home-pride get to you...we just like to celebrate our horse a bit much here.
