Opinions on replacement H3 consideration

[Allen Beggs]

I have the Alpha. LOVE IT. 12-13 in city. 15-16 Hwy. Power is great. It makes the H3 feel like a Hot Rod

If your 3.5L '06 worked well for you, you'd probably be pleased with 3.7L - I'm not finding my '07 H3 sluggish and can keep up with traffic easily. If I was to buy another one I'd consider 5-speed model; that would save me $ on 4-speed auto transmission "upgrade" plus give more control/more performance out of the 3.7L engine. The Alpha price is undoubtedly steep; on local dealer's lot they're all well over $40k, more like $42k-$43k - if I were to shop for replacemant of mine I'd let the dealer find me '07 or '08 Adventure with 5-speed, at @ MSRP or close to it. I'd be saving around $10k compared to Alpha, I'd be chrome & leather free, and have exactly what I want and not paying for unneeded stuff. That said, if $$$ is not an issue, Alpha is probably way to go.

IMO

For the most part (99%) I really like the 06 - H3 that I bought. The wife's next vehicle is an H2, and I'll pick up a used H1 shortly thereafter. At this point in time I have no use for an H3 Alpha, however if I did I might be tempted to wait for the 09's. Meaning, if I really needed one -- I'd buy it, but if I could wait another year -- I most likely would.
