2006 H3- Four Wheeler Longterm test
http://www.fourwheeler.com/roadtests...006_hummer_h3/
Hope not a repost- if it is........oh well.  It came out today.
After an excellent showing in our 2006 FWOTY competition, with several editors' picks, and a recent award as one of our 2006 "10 Best Buys in Four-Wheel Drive" in its first year on the market, we decided to ask Hummer for an H3 to replace our much-missed 2005 Hummer H2 SUT long-termer. Hummer obliged with our newest addition to the fleet, a loaded 2006 H3 drenched in enough yellow and chrome to blind the sun itself.
With a base price of just $28,935, we loaded up our H3 to the gills with the luxury package that includes leather, power and heated seats, excellent Monsoon sound system, along with the must-have Adventure Package that adds 285/75R16 (33-inch) Bridgestone Dueler tires, 4:1 transfer case, electric locking differential, 4.56:1 gears, and special suspension tuning. We also added the factory rock protection, which works well on the trail.....

Re: 2006 H3- Four Wheeler Longterm test
"We could do without the idiot shift light telling us when to row the gears, and we don't like having to have the door shut in order to reset the trip odometer at a gas stop."
The shift light gives GM a 1/2 CAFE credit, and GM will kill for a 1/2 credit.
I agree totally with the stupidity of not allowing the trip odo to be reset till all doors are closed. I have told the programmer this sucks, and all he did was laugh and say he has bigger problems then worrying about having to close the doors to reset the odo.
As for cubby holes, I guess I agree, but coming from the Vette world, the H3 has more room in one door than the Vette had in the entire front seat interior space.

Re: 2006 H3- Four Wheeler Longterm test
I still hate GM's 100 function turn signal stalk/cruise control.... cruise control should be on the wheel, wipers have it's own stalk... too much crap on one peice of HUMMER
