Great info so far.

Does anyone have the cashmere interior(beige leather)?

If so is it hard to keep clean?

Looking further on the internet, I found a local 07 H3, 4500 miles with the Chrome, Lux, Monsoon stereo, package for $28000. That could be worth looking into as for that price I would be able to do a purchase instead of leasing a new one. Which I would actually prefer.

Has much, if anything changed from the 07's to the 08's?

Thanks again for the responses

 

I have the dark leather interior. Not sure on 07 to 08 changes. Obviously the Apha is significantly different but I am not sure on the I5 H3s.

 

Welcome. I personally buy my vehicles, I like to change things (mod) on them and don't want to have to worry about taking it all back off in 3 yrs. Also, I have a habit of putting ALOT of miles on my vehicles. I buy them to drive, not sit in the driveway. I can tell you that we bought a hitch basket for our trips and have driven from Ohio to VA and back a few times with Christmas presents and 2 kids in it. A "little" tight, but everyone survivedBuy or Lease would depend on your situation, I know they have some great leasing deals going on right now. It just doesn't work well for me.

 

Hello..and Welcome! [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

Hey!!

 

Two things to think about between 07 and 08. One is the relocation of buttons on the doors. Second is the child locks, I believe they started putting them on the 08's. My Wife and I do a lot of camping and it is tight without a trailer. Our kid has grown up so we lay down the seats which you could not do, otherwise no way could we get everything in. Good luck, you'll love the H3. Great truck and lots of fun.

 

My wife an I buy all of our cars, we tried leasing once and it does not work for the way we drive. We usually keep our cars for at least6 or 7years, well at least I do. My wife struggles to stay in a car longer than five years. But buying still works for us. So I would say it depends on your driving habits (ie mileage and how often you want a new car.)
