Default Re: most likely moving from an h3 to H3 Alpha got some questions

My son in Dillon, Co had my old '06 H3 with 111,000 miles on it when he traded it in on an Alpha in October. He LOVES the Alpha, especially up in the mountains and says the fuel consumption difference is minimal. I still like the room in my H2, but love the way the Alpha performs in the mountains. Living near sea level, I never had many problems with the power in the original '06 H3 and the power difference in the '07 I5 is noticeable when they gave me one for a loaner once. If I got a used H3 for our cabin, I'd lean towards the Alpha or an '07 or later I5. The late year '07s 08s and 09s, didn't have as much of the cylinder head problems as the '06 and early '07s, although we had no problem with the '06 I5 with 111k miles on it. In March they came to St. Louis and looked at the V8 '09 Championship Edition Demo with 6900 miles on it at Lynch for $34,000 and almost bought it for a second Hummer (it's still there I think), but his wife nixed the idea of two Hummers and I think they both regret it now. She wanted to keep her soccer mom van and use his H3 in the winter, but now that they both don't work together in Denver anymore, they're looking at Hummers and Alphas again and finding new ones very difficult to find. He's had no problems with his '09 Alpha (he had it painted the color of my old 06 - Shadow Green Metallic - might be one of the only Shadow Green Metallic Alphas in the US) and plans on keeping it forever!
