07 H3 pros and cons
[:@] I am dissapointed in my new 07 H3.1. It gets horrible mpg.-13 mpg. 2. It is a rough ride.3. It has no power.
4. It barely runs when I have 3 to 4 passengers. I just feel that I made a bad decision when I purchased the H3. I guess that is what you get when you buy a vehicle with a 5 cylinder. I do like some things about the H3.
The H3 is a very good looking ride. It is very manuverable. It is fun to drive when you are alone or only one passeneger and for offroading it is great. I only have 2000mi. on the H3 and I want to get rid of it.
I had a 2004 F-150 FX4 crew cab before the H3 and I loved it. It had awsome power and it got better gas mpg that the H3 gets.[&o] I guess I am stuck with it for a while.

RE: 07 H3 pros and cons
Have you taken it in to get it checked? I have a 2007 H3 and don;t have any of those issues. Mileage is good, ride is certainly not "smooth" like a car, but not rough. Have had 3 passengers and not had an issue with power when cruising, and for off road in low, certainly not an issue. In comparison to other vehicles it will undoubtedly be different, but still a great ride IMO. I've got a Ford 150 extended cab as welland will take the Hummer any day!

Horrible gas mileage? Talk to Impy about his mpg and you'll feel better :-) My H2 gets about that, a little less, 12-12.5 mpg :-) I lookedat trading in my -03 H2 for an -06 H3 but I felt it was too much of a step down after having been spoiled with the Deuce :-) Wouldn't mind having one though, but would probably want to wait until the Alpha's come out ...

If I new what I know about the H3's at this point in time I definately would not have bought one. This forum has been a great help to me and others with all the good infromation. With all the head problems, power issues and mpg issues that the H3's have,I really want to get rid of it.I wish I would found this board before I purchased the H3. I will never buy another 4 or 5 cyl again. Only V8's for me in the future.
Thanks all for your help!

I agree with Dennis, sell the damn thing and find something else to bitch about. I've had four people in my 07 H3x with no problem, my millage runs about 15 to 17+ with about 4500 miles logged so far. If I was looking for MPG or a cushy ridethe last vehicle I would buy would be any SUV, period. Why the hell didn't you test drivethe H3 first.

Wow![sm=dontgetit.gif] I live in Colorado and have no power problems when driving in the mountains with other people in the vehicle. I mean it's no Corvette or anything, but it gets the job done. As for gas mileage, I have been getting around 16.5 to 17 since it was new. (I have 4700 miles on it now). As for the rough ride, what did you expect...it's made to go 4-wheeling...if you wanted a luxury SUV you should probably trade it in for one.
Ironically, when my H3 was in the shop for some minor warranty work they gave me a Cadillac CTS to drive. I actually thought the ride was worse in the Caddi couldn't wait to get my H3 back. Oh well...good luck with whatever you do.
