Keep in mind, when people post about issues on the HML, it's usually those people who are lax on mainainence, or chronic complainers. Some aren't, but from my experience, it is usually people who expect a 100K offroad vehicle to be like their other 100k road vehicles when it comes to comfort/noise/fit/finish. They are just being unrealistic.

Dave,
After reading the description of your H1, I gotta see a pic of it, PLEASE.

Actually, it was this review that really got me thinking about the H3. It was this quote at the beginning of the H3 review.

At the end of 2.5 days of dust, dirt, and rocks, each editor was asked, ?If you had to make that same trip by yourself, which vehicle would you choose?? Unanimous reply: the H3.

The part I disagree with was this...

At speed, the wind roar around that pancake-flat windshield sounded like Victoria Falls

I don't have this problem at all, sounds like they had a bad seal around the windshield.

Yes, the H3 does not have the acceleration of some of the others, but we all knew that going in. It's adequate for everyday driving, but it's not a sprinter.

The other factor that they didn't mention was the general fun factor. No matter how you slice or dice it, the H3 is NOT BORING, and in my book that counts for a lot.

Yeah, I find the H3 very quiet on the highway.
