JUST BOUGHT, PICKUP TOMORROW -- PROBLEMS?
ok, so i played three card monte and went for the '07 h3. now i'm sure this has been dealt with, but i'm too lazy to look for individuals posts so -- how are the stock tires -- i live in the country/suburbs of sothwest ct. so we get snow, rain, ice, all that good stuff. what kind of gas mileage should i expect initially. can i use 87 safely and efficiently. jeesus, i just founf the raer windows dont frickin roll down -- my dawgs'll freak. ****! and i thought the rear view windows were heated....didn't do enough of my d&d. but it is one cool looking mutha. so if y'all can answer my questions, and add any other pros and cons for a new NON-OFF ROADER, but just a macho poseur, let 'em rip. also, is this a babe magnate. i hope so. and if any babes wanna join in with answers, shoot!!!!
TIA

Use 87 fuel, that is what it is designed to use.
Bridgestone tires on the Off-road are good.
Wrangler tires on the standard model...not as good

Re: JUST BOUGHT, PICKUP TOMORROW -- PROBLEMS?
I'll go first! PICTURES!!
Welcome aboard. At my age, if they aren't in a walker, I'm flattered, but I get more attention in the H3 than I did in the Vette...go figure. But, that could be a regional thing, too. Have fun. Do take it off the road now and then. That's what it was built for and does best.

Re: JUST BOUGHT, PICKUP TOMORROW -- PROBLEMS?
if your just a phoser the street tires are fine but if want to run over a little bigger stuff get 35's 85 octane works great for me , not as good as 190 proof everclear and the after taste sucks

Re: JUST BOUGHT, PICKUP TOMORROW -- PROBLEMS?
Did you get the Adventure package?
Get a cover for your rear seats and you dogs can ride on the back seat and enjoy the windows.

Re: JUST BOUGHT, PICKUP TOMORROW -- PROBLEMS?
from what I understand the o7 H3 can not be reprogramed for larger tires.

got the lux pkg...the dogs like the windows rolled down so they can bark at horses, cows and other dogs. boy are they going to be disappointed, but my hearing will be restored. btw, maybe you can answer this -- or someone else can, what was the moronic decision behind having windows that dont roll down. JFC every f*****g thing today involves a stupid compromise. so is there any intelligence behind having windowes that dont roll down that i don't see?. my wife's gonna freak when we pick up the car today. never even thought about the rear windows until read it here. amazingly stupid imo.

Re: JUST BOUGHT, PICKUP TOMORROW -- PROBLEMS?
Ummmm.... which windows don't roll down? Is this something they did to the 07s?
Also - F5 - are there specs anywhere that show the difference in mpg, horse, etc, in running 87, 89, and 92 octane?
Thanks!

Re: JUST BOUGHT, PICKUP TOMORROW -- PROBLEMS?
I think he is talking about the side rear windows in the cargo area. Not on the rear doors.

What side rear windows roll down, though. Even in minivans, only a few pop out.

well with the window part, dont know abou tthe troll part. i have never seen a car with the rear side cargo windows roling down. and why is that even so important, like someone said buy seat covers and let teh dogs go werever they want.
also if your trying to pick up ladies, dogs in the car barking like crazy isnt gona help much. oh, and you said you're maried, so keep you pants on!
