3.7L 5 Cylinder vs.........
i love my H3, but i think the H3 should have been a 4.0L V6. anyone else agree?

Re: 3.7L 5 Cylinder vs.........
The 4.2L from the Trailblazer OR Envoy would have been a better choice, but if you compare the MPG ratings between the 5 cyl and the 8 cyl I would say the V8 is the better pick. Doesn't have to work as hard, and would probaly end up with the same gas milage or God fobbid Better MPG's . Just my .02

thought the same thing. when i was purchasing my h3 they had no more alphas or i would have bought one of those. i find that the regular h3 is a little underpowered. 4.2 would have been the way to go. i had an envoy xuv before i bought this and even found that that could have used a little more power.

I disagree. With the 3.5 in a 06 its got everything & saves some mpg over the v6 and v8!

Why not a 5.0 HO or an 8 litre with a 4:11 rear, 6 on the floor, quad exhaust, flames, dice and fur...
do you want a drag car, a drive in restaurant cruiser or a HUMMER ...
make your mind up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so you think it has enough power? a 4L V6 would be perfect for it in my opinion.
