Drove the 08-Rant

[Fastest H-Town Realtor]

And I am now in the market for a good used 05-07. The interior is sooo very nice, but just not for me. No squeaks, every thing in place. Just not for me. No air vent tiddies. And i thought it was getting a huge power increase? My 05 was just as quick. The tranny was non-co-operative in shifting and mandated the turbo button to be pushed for better shifting. The ride is soo smooth and quiet. Not quite what i wanted.

So now we have a kinder, gentler H2? Still w/o adjustable rear seat backs? Pass-

Nice to see the salessluts were no more educated on the product. Dude knew nothing about: 6 speed, navi system, air ride...need I continue?

I have heard that they are basically geared down, true or not true? Thanks

So far in my car/truck buying experience, the BMW salesmen are the more educated about their fleet. They attend a school of sorts and have to take a driving course that helps to maximize the road test when one takes a BMW for a drive. I was amazed at the knowledge this guy had about the vehicle, thus helping my overall decision to buy the car. I wish Hummer dealers followed the same path.

The new salesmen at the dealership by my house know less about the specs of a hummer than my wife. And I'm not talking about the hummer's i used to get before we were married!

Did you say turbo button?

Mom and dad have the new motor and trans in there denali and it made a huge difference. Granted a H2 is 1500-2000 lbs heavier than a denali but the hp jump and lower first gear should at least feel better.

The physical tranny has really not changed much. It is still the same housing and clutches. Basically a 3speed trans with Overdrive giving you 4 total gears. What they did this year was change the four gear ratios and have the Overdrive no work with gears 1 and 2 for the 2008 Model. In previous models overdrive would only work in unison with 3rd gear. Over all what they have done is help keep the engine in its power curve.
