Thank you GM!

I drove my friends H3 today and was so impressed. What a fun truck to drive! I have driving so many smaller SUV's (JGC, DD, TB..) and I must tell you, I feel you all made a great choice in a truck. WOW! Now to get my wife into one! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Again, thanks GM!

That is great coming from an SUT owner.

Thanks for the thumbs up VT.

I took my SUT to the dealership for some minor maintenance today and (through Enterprise) they gave me a brand new H3 for a loaner. It was, I'm guessing, pretty much bare bones, but it did have an automatic transmition.

I was VERY impressed! It was a bit small, but that feeling is to be expected after spending the last more than 6 months in an H2. It felt very well put together -- very solid. Small thing, but I really envy the steering wheel! Much fatter than the H2 steering wheel and had a great feel to it. I only drove it 50 miles, but it handled very nicely. . .very responsive on the highway and on side roads. Except for the fact that it's a wee bit underpowered, I liked it much better than the Durango R/T I used to drive.

Would I trade my H2 for it? No. Like I said, it was a bit small. For example, using the driver's side window controls was a bit awkward as they were under my elbow. . .but all in all, it's a great truck and down the road, I will do my best to get my girl friend to trade up from her POS Jeep Liberty.
