If you want the adventure package you need to look at the dash where the buttons are. If you see the buttons then it is the adventure package. I recently bought a 09 h3 adventure with f/r lockers and cast iron front diff with 30k miles for under 21k. I checked the online ads and looked for the picture of the dash with the buttons. Some ads said they where adventure and you could see from the pic they clearly are not. Most dealers do not know the car has the adventure package and will thus list it as base. You'de be suprised just how many are actually adventures. I chose to go with the 09 because I wanted the front locker and cast iron diff. It all depends on what you want.
