I have never driven an SUV or a truck at all...whatsoever. Last night was the first time I ever have. I drove an H2. I have really started liking them within the last month...ALOT, and figured i'd give one a shot.
(I am not used to driving something this slow. I have an '03 Mitsubishi Evo with a few parts, so this is a big change.)
I loved the drive, & loved everything about the truck. I am not the off roading type of guy, but that might change.. while test driving it, i went over some boulevards and curbs just to test it out. Pretty sweet stuff. I really am just going to use it for daily driving to & from work, which is less than 2 miles. The only concern I have is the gas mileage. I know, I know... 'dont worry about the gas mileage, since im considering the H2.' I will in no way consider the baby h3 so dont even mention it...! If im doing it, im doing it big. I averaged 12.4 mpg test driving the h2 for about 45 minutes. I thought it was decent. In town was around 9-12... and highway was 13/14.
Ok, performance wise, ive read about intake/header/exhaust/tune. Of course im not expecting huge gains at all, but what about mpg increase? 1.5mpg from what ive read seems to be about the norm... but im looking to maybe increase performance enough to get upwards of 13-15 city, or am I asking for too much?
Oh well, hopefully I will enjoy my stay! What other H2 forums are there? Im on another one, but this site seems more active.
