What do you think about the H3? [Archive]

I had an H3 for a loaner and was pretty impressed with it. It was a base model with cloth interior(but it had XMhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif).
I really liked the tight turning radius. The engine is peppy, but isn't going to win any drag races. But if you need speed buy something else.
I liked the very low crawl ratio in 4Lo Locked. I climbed a little 12" curb with relative ease. I can't wait to see how the H3 does in Moab.
I thought the outward view was very good. I'm a pisser about blind spots, so I was looking for them, but didn't find any.
I liked the ergonomics of the interior. The brushed aluminum was a nice touch. Wish the H2 had more of it.
The seats were comfortable and the driving position was very good.
I liked the rubberized rear cargo area. Again, it would have been nice on the H2.
I wish the loaner had a sunroof. I wanted to opening it and go for a nice "open top" night drive.

I give the H3 2 thumbs up.

PLEASE PLEASE someone bring one to Moab to wheel with us!!!http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I test drove a decked-out H3 at Lynch Hummer when I was picking up my SUT. I really enjoyed it from every aspect except one: No power. What a disappointment there but the price you pay to shut the tree-huggers up. If it had a bit more power I may have even considered one.

I like it. Good platform, perfect size, looks like a Hummer should. I would like to see it with an additional 40-50 HP though.
BTW, I'd also like to see our H2's with an 40-50 additional HP, LOL.

I went thru a drivethru yesterday with my H2 and the girl said, "Is that one of those H3 things?" "Those are little wannabe Hummers huh", to her co worker. Not that she matters but now H2's are confused as h3s.

True there is confusion out there, if you don;t see them next to each other, it's hard for some people to tell the difference.

when there are more on the road that should settle down, however, there is no mistaking it as a HUMMER!

saw it two years ago as a mock up during a Hummer dealer confrence. It looks much like it started and I thought it drove well. I am a big dude and i fit it it better then any H1. As long as the person buying is made aware that it is not a speed demon, buy it. it's cool

The production H2 looks pretty much the same as the prototype H2 did. I still remember deciding that I wanted one just because the prototype looked so cool.
