LOL I can see that... I saw a british car review once where they used the kick down on the H2. The driver was completly stunned when the trip computer went down to 1 MPG.

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>


....most have been Top Gear?!?!

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

Engine:
little bit underpowered.
Hopefully solved throu a Diesel. <span class="ev_code_RED">Freelander</span>

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

You specifically mentioned something about responding intelligently. Then proceeded to hack up the English language, or does your apostrophe button not work? Not wrong you say..... yeah, you said many things wrong. Such as: "cant" "Your alright" "Im rubber your glue"

Thanks for playing.

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!

Make up your mind, use them or don't use them, just don't abuse them.

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.

Dude... You're anything but complex...

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 ****.

Dude
