Summary:

A one of a kind experience!

Faults:

The door automatically locks after closing.

General Comments:

I leased my H3 this past September and love it!

It's great to see GM made a compromise on a luxury SUV at a reasonable fuel consumption. I was reluctant to re-lease an SUV for a year prior, due to rising fuel costs and being well aware of the fuel most large SUV's use. Do not misunderstand though, if you push them they will will drink it! Heated mirrors would have finished it off nicely.

The trough at the bottom of the windshield makes for an undesirable collection area of snow/ice, which in turn can make it difficult for the wipers to operate. Mid-cycle wiper turn off capabilities would have been nice to make snow cleaning easier.

Strange, but the door automatically locks when closing if the vehicle is left running. I'm thinking it's do to the closure momentum not the electrics. This is annoying.

All in all I am able to overlook these hiccups for everything else the H3 offers. It's the type of vehicle you either like or dislike.

Good to hear you're satisfied with your H3. I have never even been in one, but I like it much better than the H2. More subtle, less big and yellow. Too many yellow H2's, for some reason.

I am also glad that you actually took the time to write a proper review. Too many folks just write 80 words or so, and then leave it at that.

Summary:

I expected more for 34k

Faults:

Something in the drive shaft had to be replaced 2 months after purchase. 3 mo into purchase doors seemed a little loose or like they had dropped so had to have them adjusted. 6 months into purchase the driver side door is scraping the paint off the front quarter panel when you open it and makes a horrible metal to metal noise.

General Comments:

At first I thought I'd have a terrible time parking this thing, but quickly realized it would turn on a dime.

If your driving there is no place to rest your left foot except on a small hump in the floor.

Cargo area is MUCH smaller than it looks and I quickly realized that the first trip to the grocery store.

On the up side the kids LOVE it and its not too bad on gas.

Curious to know if you've found the H3's claim of 15 City/20 Hwy mpg to be accurate. Looking to replace my 2005 Pacifica (same curb weight as the H3). Not too concerned about mpg, but don't want to find out that its rating is more like 10/15.

I get 16 city 18.5 highway with an automatic.

Found out that high test is much better than reg.

Engine sounds better runs better takes hills better.

I get one mile per gallon better. For 30 cents a gallon more may not be great to pick up one more mile per gallon; it's the other reasons I go with it. I have a 2006 also and it gets over 20 highway, but it's the non bored out motor.
