So i'm a little up in the air in regards to my next car purchase. I currently have an 07 Z4 BMW convertible and a 99 jeep cherokee sport that was gifted to me some years ago that I use for bad weather in liu of the BMW. I'm getting married in a year and recently purchased a small starter home in Philly that has only one garage. My fiancee recently purchased an 08 Altima and I obviously want to let her park in the garage and not have to find street parking late at night. The BMW is expensive and it would be a shame to park a pristine soft top car outside so I'm trading it in for something new.
I was intrigued by the H3's I've seen on the road so I stopped in at the local dealer yesterday to crunch some numbers and take a test drive. Overall the car is pretty nice. Its a very substantial machine and the driving position is like sitting in a big rig. Its the polar opposite of a z4 but I could definately see myself driving one at least for the next 3 yrs. My only concern is the underpowered engine and poor fuel economy but it is somewhat balanced by the exrtemely cheap monthly payment.
Just wondering what the concensus is on the H3. Anybody own one or have any experience behind the wheel of a hummer. I've read reports of others agreeing the car is underpowered but I'm biased after driving the z4 for a year which is pretty quick in its own rite. Still, even my 99 jeep can outrun this thing.
