need H3 owners' advice

[MarK M]

the H3 is an awesome suv. love it.

the only gripe i have is the window controls. they are not conveniently placed. Makes for rolling down the window awkward.

but who rolls down the windows these days!

Overall satisfaction = 10

Inline 5 = 10

Gearing = 10

Though some may complain about the power of the inline 5, I find it to be more than adequate. Maybe it has more to do with expectations of the driver.

H2 drivers complained about the lack of power as well in the beginning. Again, about their expectations.

I would buy another one if I had it to do all over again.

I love my H3 the only thing I find wrong is the visibility isn't that great all the time but I look damn good in it so who cares if you can't see all the time.......lol.

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.

I really like the H3...Yes, especially yours Hollie!
The power is a little weak, but so is the power for an H2.
Other than needing wide mud flaps for keeping the sides clean, it's a great design, and would buy one if the oppportunity arose!

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

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.

ditto to all of the above.

And it's cool.
