Thinking of going with the 2007 H3. Probably the base model. Just wondering if I am loosing anything substantial by not going with the adventure or luxury package.

Also, I wonder if anyone can give me info on the stigma attached to owning an H3. My GF just informed me that there is a general consensus that people who drive them are A$$holes. Really the first I have heard of that. I just think the H3 is more like a work of art.

Has everyone's reactions been more positive or negative?

(Not like it will effect my decision. I don't give a crap what people think)

If I were to buy again, right now, I'd get the manual. The engine being kind of low on grunt for the heavy H3 would require that. The Adventure package has a couple of things that you just can't live without if you're going off anything more than a dirt road. The 4:1 tcase is to die for, it's amazing. Having the large tires off the showroom floor is nice too. The package is lacking in many ways though. For it to be all that and a bag of chips off road, the '08 should have, off the showroom floor:

A V8
Front locker in an iron housing
Full skid protection
Front winch
Roof rack
Mud flaps (or fix the material gathering system otherwise known as the rear wheel wells)
Air compressor for filling tires


Hey, you folks ever notice that the dimmer wheel for the dash doesn't do much?
