After 2 days my ramblings are:

What's up with that weird turn signal sound? Is that new to GM or have they been using that for awhile. It has gotten many laughs over the past few days. It sounds like an old fashioned clock.

I have a slight pull to the right, I am going to bring it in for an alignment check. Might be the tires, so a rotation might solve the problem.

GM should have put on a locking gas cap. It's way to easy to remove and it worries me how easy it would be for someone to pour something into the tank. I am going to have to spend over $100 on a locking cover.

The H3 loves bugs as much as my Jeep did. Because of the flat windshield I am catching every bug in town. I am cleaning the windshield every day.

Engine power: I drove 300 miles on the first day from Casper to Denver. On the rolling hills with the cruise set to 70mph it downshifts almost every time. What freaked me out a little was that it downshifted twice on a few steeper hills which caused the engine to rev to about 5K. At that point I killed the cruise to back off a bit. Overall the power is perfectly fine for around town.

Parking is easy, I like the size of the H3. Visibility is pretty good except for out the back window. The back window should go down a little further.

Gas mileage on the 300 mile trip was 19mph. I am currently tracking my city mileage.
