[Aubs]

Well, it's been almost 3 months since we purchased our H3. It's been a blast to drive, gets pretty good economy, and hasn't given us many problems.

The only mechanical issue we have (which has stopped now for some reason) is a bug in the ABS/TC system. The Stability warning appears occassionally and tells us that the system is not working. There was a time when it wouldn't shift into 4LOW either. But currently, things seem ok. Odd.

As for cosmetics, the trim piece behind the hood, around the wiper pits is loose, and pops up. One headlight was getting water in it, which was fixed under warranty. Also, the plastic roof trim over the driver door was busted, and fixed under warranty.

Finally, I have a question. Why does the engine stink? Like, when I open the sunroof, the car is filled with a pungent smell, like something burning. The car has 7,000 miles on it, and still displays this behavior. Any ideas?

The H3 is great in the snow. However, it is uncomfortable (compared to the H2) for long trips. It's a lot easier to drive something though...
