Questions from a potential buyer..

My biggest gripe with the H3 is that the back seat doesn't fold flat! Besides that it is great

It is pretty hard to make a 4 door SUV that is off road capable, gets good gas mpg, and small enough to still keep up with 2 door Jeeps etc. The H3 is a great package.

I you need a 3rd row seat or mores buy a bigger SUV like a Suburban, Tahoe, Land Crusier or if you like Rovers go with the LR3 or Defender 110.

I just want to point out that the auto has a much higher towing capacity which implies, to me, that the auto is stronger.

With regards to rear facing child seats, they seem better if you crash into something (somewhat under your control) but are they also better if you get rear-ended (out of your control)? Just curious.

Best regards, Happy Jack
