Wichita, KS here. Never even considered an american car, but when I had trouble finding the right VW Touareg, I decided to test drive the H3.
I was giddy with excitement when cruising around town and on the highway. The H3 is surprisingly agile and smooth. The interior features are minimal but appropriate. Most of the features are in the drivetrain and suspension.

Long story short I bought it and I can't wait to get this truck off the pavement.

Great forum you guys got here and I plan on reading lots.

 

Really you could not find a suitable Touareg?. There are plenty. They drive a lot nicer than an H3 too, However they are so expensive to maintain. I know because I owned one for 6 years. Now a happy H2 driver
