Yeah..I know what you mean..they ride rougher than a cob and are too under powered...I think a Rolls Royce is the better choice..

i hope this helps..... I never thought of even getting an h3 until I rented one when I visted my bro in oklohama at ft sills. When the car rental agent mentioned h3 for rental I answer w o hesitation. It took me about 20 min to get used to it.. When i got back to ny I only had 1 month left on my pathfinder lease before calling nissian I called hummer of manhattan - i didnt even go and look at trucks. I said bye bye to pathfinder and I cant be happier drive to my clients and making deliveries in the h3.... The h3 gets better milage than pathfinder and insurannce is cheaper... I am still trying to find places where I can drive and let loose and off road. { My fiance was mad at first i got the h3 but once behind the wheel she'll be driving it to pa more than me:: NOT!!!!!}
My friends are suprised at the 5 cynlder but i was doing 70 in a 40 oopsss didnt realize!!!
LOVE MY TRUCK I got lux package - my friends want to cruise w the H3

Ahhh but a 5 YO 4 runner aint a Hummer! And I guarantee you aint nobody lookin atchu in the 4! SO glad that you did not buy a 3 - just leaves 1 more out there for someone who will love and appreciate it! And for the record...I could have had a "deuce"...I chose not to and I am not crying nearly as hard every time I pull away from the pumps now!

Too much fighting here, where is the good info about an H-3 that is not inflated?

Thanks for brining this post back up from the dead

Inflated? What good info here was "inflated"?

My H3 has been incredible, I get good MPG (around 18), it's awesome off-roading, it has plenty of power (unless of course you want to drag V8's), it handles great, no problems whatsoever (knocks on wood). Braking is good and turning is great. Seats are great (it's hair resistant for your pet owners) and cleans up super easy. Overall it's a great and a very potential car.

I have found the only people complaining about the H3 are the ones who stepped from their V8's who tends to drive heavy footed off the line. Also, the users usually complaining about the H3 are ones who's wife’s are the ones driving it (no offense here ladies, but you guys statistically kill cars), they are complaining about "acceleration" and breathe down their husbands throats because they couldn't pass the other Soccer mom in a V8 Denali on a cold engine). This isn't a Lamborghini; this isn't a Rolls Royce... IT'S AN OFF-ROAD TRUCK... nothing more nothing less.

No it WONT make you coffee
No it WONT be as comfortable as your parents/friends/uncles S500 Mercedes
No it WONT be as nimble as a miata or a Porsche
No it WONT have the acceleration of a Z06 corvette
No it WONT drive like a trail blazer, explorer, etc
No it WONT tow as much as an F650 Super Duty
No it WONT feature as much options and luxury as a Bentley
No it WONT have as much space interior as a school bus

With that said, it...

WILL scream on off-roading
WILL be a great overall truck
WILL beat other trucks in its class for MPG
WILL handle great for a real SUV
WILL tow reasonable weight
WILL deliver you a very thrilling experience

Keep in mind, this is an off-road truck, nothing more, nothing less.... don't expect it to do things that other cars made for different purposes do. Compare this to your Wranglers and FJ Cruisers... comparing this to an F150, Trailblazer, or whatever else is absurd.

Now it's time for me to go log into the Ferrari forums and complain about the comfort, lack of interrior space, horrible mpg, and the handling of the car on a drit road with potholes

EDIT: Lord forbit you guys get to drive a HMMWV or a H1. This is a HUMMER, wake up people.
