Btw: the journalist really liked the H2. He said, the H2 reminds you of what you loved about cars in the first place when you where a boy... "Every ride is an event." Actually an entertaining review. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I am looking into buying an H3 and ran into the following bigger and minor issues:

Engine:
little bit underpowered.

Automatic transmission:
5 gears would be nicer... also for fuel economy <span class="ev_code_RED">Freelander</span> <span class="ev_code_RED">Defender</span>

Rear seats:
They dont fold down flat. Bad if you want to sleep in the car on a trip or if you have some real heavy load.<span class="ev_code_RED">Defender</span>

Limited sight:
That's the way it is, I guess. If you like the car for its looks, you have to live with that.

Finally a question regarding the computer:
The computers on other trucks feature infos like average gas milage, current gas milage, average speed, miles left on the tank. Is it the same on the H3?

I am really courious in how far these are actual issues in daily life. Any feedback welcome.

Thank you,

Marc

There are tons of Defenders around here and to be honest, I think they look like crap. The Freelander is no serious offroader, not even close.
My rationality says that the Defender might be better for what I need, but my heart says its got to be the H3...
I guess I've made my decision. Me driving an H3... that will really piss off my french, liberal, treehuggin, freedom Fries eating, gay pals. ROFL

Where did that ignore button go.......found it.

deicustoms1 04-21-2006 01:23 PM

Sowwy we hurt your wittle fewlings. But, you did sign your posts "Treehugger" on more than one occasion. The same treehuggers that attack our vehicles because they are too cowardly to confront the owners. Bad move on your part, as well as the name. I'm not a political person, but I just don't like your name, your avatar, or your attitude! Reminds me way too much of early troll/treehuggers, and for good reason.

You can find all this information by using the Find button, give it a try. These questions come up every week.

Another reason not to trust you...I located a shocking picture of you. Flipping off a stretched version of our big brother, now that's just not nice at all, treehugger.

LOL. Reading throu your post, it seems I hurt your "wittle fewlings" more than you did mine. If you follow the history of this thread, you'll notice that I started to sign me posts with 'treehugger' in response to your use of stereotypes.

btw: If I sign my posts with 'treehugger' this would be either quite ironic (you know what that means?) if I am not a treehugger or very uncowardly confronting if I was one. You decide.


deicustoms1 04-21-2006 01:45 PM

Still going with tree-hugger, hiding behind the internet does not make you "very uncowardly confronting".

I like that Hummer limo with the Elvis Costello wannabe picture. Cool.

Your arguing symantics, not intelligence. Just because I havent placed an apostrophe appropriately proves nothing. It just means I chose not to put it there, at worst you can call me lazy.. When someone asks an intelligent question and you start responding "go away dumbass", thats different. I do have to say I'm wrong, it has nothing to do with intelligence but more with maturity. Anyhow, my point is there is no reason to start acting like your twelve when making a point about something. I'm not sure where all this pent up anger comes from. Personally I think some people just act like this to stir the pot a little. Maybe they dont have enough to do at home, lol.

I love the H3 otherwise I wouldnt have purchased it, and I wouldnt be here. I just think there is better ways to prove a point.

And I still didnt use my apostrophes....how do ya like that!

Hehe, this is a forum. Not a spelling contest. Did you really take the time to spell check my post? You have too much time on your hands my friend.

deicustoms1 04-21-2006 11:36 PM

No, I didn't take the time to spell check your post. I just read it, my mind is more complex and I have this super ability that lets me see where you didn't put in an apostrophe, and where you did, and where you claimed you didn't.

Yes, I do have a lot of time on my hands, but that's my positive, and not yours!

I didn't claim it was a spelling contest, but we can't have people running around here lying about things such as not using apostrophes in their post, when clearly they did. If we did, who could we trust?

Thanks for the good laugh! The sarcasm wasnt wasted. I appreciate a smartass, because I can be one myself sometimes.

At least I can tell the difference between someone who is really interested in purchasing an h3, and one that wants to come point out negatives to start ****.

Well, I dont hang around this site enough to spot out tree huggers from real inquiries. But I dont think it aids our cause either with the ole' tree huggin elf crowd when we start spouting off like a bunch of pottied mouth kids either

deicustoms1 04-22-2006 03:15 AM

Well, you don't exactly sound like a credible expert in this field, now do you?

But you say, sympathize with eco-terrorists in hopes they will leave us alone? I'll take that into consideration.

Lastly, if your potty mouth comment was directed at me, I don't believe I swore at all. I also don't recall any other people swearing. Maybe someone did, but I don't feel like checking.

Bleh, Peoples are peoples.

Whatever, keep the love going man. Im just here to hang talk to people who have good taste in SUV's. No more, no less. Not sure why I got into this whole conversation in the first place. You win.

Oh, and nothing was directed at anyone specific like I said earlier. So if something was taken personally you will have to take that up with yourself.

Euro Libby Tree Lover,
Sell your house, Take out whatever you have in your 401k (or Euro equiv) take out a large loan and buy yourself an H1. Then.... don't post here in the H3 forum ever again. Thanks!

Dude

Just to clearify: When I am buying a car, I do research of possible drawbacks and shortcomings of that car. That way I avoid disappointment or bad surprises when I finally get it.
No car is perfect the question is only if you are willing or able to live with the imperfections.
If I didn't like the car at all, I wouldn't even start to bother and waste my time asking questions.
I started this thread to get answers or even an open discussion to help me clear my sight what is really important to me and what I would have to live with if I buy an H3.

You posted about a dozen posting just to tell me or others to shut up, f***k off, and so on. Man, you really got too much time.

If I was a troll, I would not spend my time asking technical questions, but rather spam as many threads as I can - like you did here.

Thanks to Rick, f5Fstop and the others for giving me valuable information. I found my decision.

Do you see? That was it. No big deal at all.

cheerz,

Marc

Three things come into my mind when I read throu this post:

1.)
"Bully13": I take this as a hint towards your attitude.

2.)
...House, 401K, Loan...: You would need to do all that to get an H1? Poor guy.

3.)
Why do you bother? Mmmmh, I guess the answer is in point 1.

Nevermind. I already regret wasting my time with an answer to your post.

Have a nice weekend and tell me when you figure out that upright walk.
