Default Re: Why H3?

I bought an H3 because I was ready to replace my daily driver and wanted something different than a run of the mill SUV. I could have afforded an H2 or even an H1 but neither would have been practical for me as a dd.

I am extremely impressed with it's off-road capabilities and on-road ride and comfort. That being said, IMHO it is underpowered when it comes to maintaining high speed particularly in hilly or mountain driving. I like to drive 80-85 mph on open interstates and it does struggle at times. I definitely would not feel comfortable with towing any significant amount of weight on a regular basis as I believe the wear and tear on the engine/transmission would be too great. Occasional weekend jaunts with the 4 wheelers in tow do not bother me.

I'm sure the majority of H3 owners here even if they won't admit it, feel that GM should have offered an engine upgrade.

Even with it's shortcomings, the good far outweighs the bad and I love my H3!

Cheers,
Jim

haha i picked my new H3X over the h2 and over the ML 500 for a number of reasons

1. im only 24 and dont neeed the ML 500 as my mom drives one and i'll end up getting something like it once im in my 30's

2. the H2 is to big for parking at the places i go and it will not fit inside the garage.

3. i had a new c5 corvette at 18 and traded it in for the h3x because i wanted something differnt.

with regraurds to your remarks of affording something, odds i spend more in a month then you make in a year, i get a kick out of going to buy my designer cloths and droping 15,000 a season but wearing a harley t-shirt and ripped jeans just to watch the **** nuts that are working mouths drop when they see how much i spend because like you they view someones statues based on how they look, drive...

Ok, I can fully understand why you might consider buying a H3 or why you wanted one in the first place. But, what I can't understand is all the PISSING AND MOANING......
