I have become aware that the H3 is not a ticket to speed, which I think will be good for me. It might keep me from driving so aggressively and squealing my tires every time I take off from a stop. My question right now would be for comments on the reliability of the H3 mechanically and cosmetically. I have not been in one (plan on test driving over Christmas break), and I have never owned a GM product. How is the drivetrain/engine? Is the vehicle lots of cheap plastic or quality material and craftsmanship? I am originally from Tennessee and like to travel there several times a year. Apart from the fuel economy, does it travel well and is very comfortable?
I plan on purchasing an H3 Alpha with the Adventure package. Can someone tell me about the championship edition? I have not heard of that. What differences are between them?
Furthermore, I love "rescuing and recovering" people and vehicles. I loved using the VX and even my Subaru before that for pulling people out of ditches all winter long. I would eventually want to load up with lots of outside lighting and potentially nice brushbar with a winch. Does anyone else have similar hobbies/interest and setup? I'd love to see some pictures and get some ideas/suggestions for products. This is all I have for now. Enjoy the VX pics! She was my baby.
Thanks for all the welcoming, and yes, the would be my DD. After graduating and paying off school, I will still buy an STI, so then that would be the DD probably. But for a few years, the H3 would be my only vehicle.
