Another FNG to the Forum
Hello All. I just located and joined the forum today. I am contemplating the purchase of a Hummer H3. I had a 2003 H2 previously but got rid of it because of the fuel mielage. My current ride is a Toyota FJ Cruiser, yeah, okay, let the flaming begin. I am actually pretty happy with the FJ's performance overall, however I use this vehicle for work and find that having 4 "real" doors as opposd to the rear suicide doors would be to my advantage. I am looking for feedback regarding cargo room, fuel economy, etc. Also, I am addicticted to satellite radio, Sirius in particular.....I know that the GM series are set up for XM, but I believe tthat there is a conversion unit out there, yes?
Some of my concerns have to do with the threads on here about valve problems.

The Head/Valve problem was within a defined set of vin #s for 06, and very early 07. Gone. 100,000 mile warranty. Even covers cracking, if there ever was any. 
There are sirius conversions, and there are threads on the intalls with bocoo pics in the audio section. Search and enjoy.

Wait, my H2 came with sirius satellite. I think sirius is an option that you can chose. Welcome to the forums and get and H3 you'll notice the difference

Okay, so help me out.....convince me to make the trade. Other than the 4 real doors vs. clamshell doors on the toyota,whatadvantages does the H3 offer over the FJ Cruiser?
One thing that has always impressed me about theToyota is that it seems like as long as you change theoil every 5k miles, the damn thing runs forever. I am at 43k miles thus far and have never done more than change the oil and rotate the tires. Minimalupkeep is important to me right now asmy job requires me to drive about 30k-40k milesper year. Any particular problems to be aware of?

if you don't plan on going offroad, upgrade the FJ to a 4Runner. but if you wanna play in the dirt, go with the H3. they come stock with a skirt too, so you'll have something to wear on Saturday night . . . . . . . .
