As curious as I am about why you say "Every trip is an ordeal", It's none of my business and I can understand. When my wife and I traded our Scion xB in for the H3, everybody in our Scion club and forums was in shock. I spent alot of time and money into customizing the xB. It was the first car I had ever owned that I dropped, put 18" low profile racing wheels on and customized the interior. I told everybody the same thing; it doesn't fit into what we want and need, which was a good car for road trips and off-road capable, AND the fact we moved into the country played into that also, knowing we would need something that could get around well in the snow. Unfortunately you ahve to find out the hard way sometimes when you buy a vehicle that it isn't the right one for you. Hell, this is my 12th car in 12 years so I know how that is, but I can honestly say I'm more satisfied with the H3 moreso then I have been with any other SUV or sports car I have owned. Everybody has their opinion and own reasons, but it's understandable, especially if you are not comfortable inside of it or not wanting something that is made more for roughing it then daily driving. I hope you are happy with whatever you decide to get. Just don't make the same mistake twice 
Another forum member will soon fade to ashes. What's going on with this place?

If power is what you need, they makes a supercharger for this engine. It brings it up to 325HP. A lot cheaper than the depreciation hit you're gonna take.

This is true, but that would probably void the warranty and if he's looking more for practicality (which I'm assuming) then that might not be such a good idea.

Well I put an ad on here and I'll put an ad in our paper next week. I'm going out of town this weekend and wouldn't be able to show it. It really isn't the vehicle's fault. I do think it could use more power but that may just be my personality. My big problem is that I got it to run errands with my daughter but when she's in her car seat she can hardly see out. I have to put her in the middle of the back seat for her to see at all and even then she's not happy so I end up having to arrange to drive the truck. She loves the truck, guess because she can see out. So basically since she has to go everywhere I go, I have to drive the truck or end up with a very unhappy camper. The big problem is that as she grows, I have more and more trouble lifting her into the middle of the back seat. (I'm not that tall. lol) I thought about putting nerf bars on it but I'm not sure that would help a lot since there isn't room for me to get in and sit down with her on one side of the car seat to get her in. It's a long story. It just doesn't fit our life right now and I had really hoped it would. I look at it and think, I still really like that thing! It's sharp! But then every trip in it is an ordeal.
Now it truly is your business as to whether you keep or sell the vehicle for whatever reason, but if your daughter's input is that important in deciding to keep or sell the vehicle, I would have hoped that when you test drove the vehicle, she rode in it? I respect that the decision to sell or keep is a personal one, but at the risk of sounding cold, I don't have sympathy for the hit you will take on the depreciation if she was not involved in your test drive.
