heated mirrors (I know, I can but after market and install 'em. But that's a pain in my butt.)
Fold flat seats.

Power assisted side steps that lower down and power you up so you can swing your fat ass into the seat.

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
Got to go with a overdrive trany option. No matter what is tryed cant get beyond the 18 mpg barrier. OD gear is needed for highway mpg goals. Not complaining but will trade my 06 when GM does it...

The 4-speed in your H3 is an overdrive trans. Fourth gear is 0.696:1
See, I just saved you some money.

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
From my wife and me, ergo two things:
1. Grab handles on the A pillars like the H2.
2. Relocate those friggin' seat controls! What lame brain came up with that placement!

Ummmmm.... is this really true? You mean we should be driving around town in 3rd? And using "D" only on the highway?
Perhaps that is why my mileage is so shatty! And to think that I thought it was because I drove it like it is stolen all the time

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
damn only one! It's tough but I would say either of these two would sufice.
1:make the seats higher from the floor board feels too much like a sportscar and a bit uncomfortable on long trips.
2: dump that 60:40 folding seat crap.

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
Fold-flat reat seats, way more comfortable backseats, more storage space, a dark tinted moonroof, less wind noise, better back speakers on the monsoon, front end level without a t-bar adjustment, better brakes so you don't fly foward when you stop, and much brighter headlights. Honestly almost everything about the interior I hate on the H3, the comfort, the storage space, and the lack of tech offerings. I do however like the balck, aspault like look... I feel like I could never damage anything even if I tried.

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
6-speed manual transmission, where 5th gear is 1:1 and 6th is overdrive. The manual gear spacing is adequate in 4hi. But there's too much space between gears in 4lo with the 4:1 ratio.

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
i agree with bigbill, more computer readouts - trip information, gas mileage, distance, etc.
BUT my thing would be changeable instrument panel light colors like in wife 08 GT mustang...something is boring about the color or lack of color in instruments....
