I've had mine for about 2 weeks and having loads of fun. Its more fun to drive than my other car. The only annoying thing is the Heated Seat Controls need to be relocated!!! "What's up with that!" They installed it on the side of the seat when your driving cant see it, let alone you can get your hand down there because there is not much room between the seat and the door. And you cant turn off the heated seats while your driving if someone left the passanger ones on. BUT I still love it.

Power is more than adequate so far! Haven't tried towing a large boat uphill yet. I imagine it will give me some concern then..

Love mine so far. The 5 is more than adequate around town and on the highway. I just added an exhaust and cold air intake and it adds a little more off the line power. See if you can arrange an overnight test drive from a local dealer and spend a little time behind the wheel. Willing to bet that you'll end up getting one if you do.

I've had my H3 since October and I still love it. I feel that the I5 is just right for this vehicle. Plenty of power. I would say that the storage in the rear is a bit small but enough to get a bit of stuff back there. I do hope when they upgrade the vehicle over the next few years they figure out a way to make the rear seats fold down flat so you can have a large completly flat cargo area and not have that elevation.

Have my H3 since 11/3/05 and absolutely have no regrets. Some people write that the I-5 powertrain is sluggish. That is absolutely bull****. I have no problem towing my 4000 lb boat and trailer and accelerating onto the freeway in traffic and easily cruising at 75 to 80 mph.

Go rent one from Avis or Budget for a couple of days, then may your own decision.

Sorry, HIHUMMER. I'm not into that kind of thing. Maybe someone over on the SCION board is into that, but not me!

The most awesome vehicle I have ever had. Love driving it when I can get my wife out of the seat. Shifts less on hills than my truck with a V8.

I love mine, more than any other vehicle i've owned. The only thing I wish I could change is:
When I am cruising and I step on the gas, it downshifts too easily. I wish there was a way to change that.
