Well, I took the plunge about two weeks ago. Black with Tan Interior... I love it so far. A few things that are a little disapointing but nothing major.

I guess after owning an H2 I would have to expect a few things ... Pictures coming soon.

I just got mine too...1200 miles on it.
I wish they would have placed radio controls on the steering wheel
Also they should not have removed the homelink from the lux package.
Why do we not have a computer that gives you MPG, D.T.E. etc.

Took it out this weekend to Hot Springs, Ar and man it was crawling though the mountains there. I had two adults and three kids. I will definitely be getting a chip.

Dont take me as being a downer because I love my H3!!!

Congratulations on your new H3, ty_r1!

I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I don't know why it doesn't have that computer that gives you the mpg's etc. readouts. I think even the malibu has it. so why wouldn't a more expensive vehicle not have it? My guess is that it is missing all that to cut down on expenses incurred to make it off-road capable. There has to be a trade-off to keep expenses down.

Well, Ty thanks for the post. I would respond to your post about a football reference but isn't FSU a girls shool? and if you having issues pulling the weight of the cargo around in your H3 should you consider not eating those all you could eat lunches??

Ok, I should explain to rest of the board that ty and I are friends and we work together. We sit right next to each other so it's all in fun!!

We both have black H3's but he has Back int and I have Tan. We will take some pictures for the board at somepoint.

I would agree the few things that I would have liked:

Homelink
NAV
Better locations for the heated seats buttons
lights in the mirror
MPG Computer
Easier way to get the seats down. I am 6' 1" and I have to push my seats all the way up to get the back seats down
Memory for mirrors; seats and radio for me and my girl

Thinks I love:

turning - I could park this anywhere where I couldn't in my H2; I could get in and out of hard locations no problem
moon roof - It's HUGE!! I love it
Looks... nothing looks like a hummer
Gas milage is not as bad as I thought. From Dallas to Austin with a stop over in Kileen on not even a full tank. I was impressed with only 80 miles on it.
CHROME! Black on Chrome looks great. Ty has more Chrome on his... but I will be adding.
Back gate is huge and easy to get open... I like having that big gate
Engine - Straight airflow into the engine (just added KN filter) cover battery is nice for offroad.

That's all I could think of for now.
