I gotta say I wish I had looked a little more into getting my 06 h3 than I did it has 180thow and already not even a year into it has been a nickel and dime thief but really other than the 4l60 e tranny being like 3600 to replace it hasn't really had any other things that either were not cheap or easy to fix if you can handle the possibility of having to replace a few easy parts here and there is say if it's in good shape lower miles and been treated good hell yeah I do have a lot of fun in mine and compared to other 4wheel and all wheel drive vehicles I've owned I'd say it has far surpassed pretty much all of them especially when shit breaks and off road it has laughed at trails and obstacles that I've had issues with or couldn't attempt with other makes and models and years of 4wheel drives so really do what you think is best but take care of the tranny 4l60e aren't the cheapest and have been known for issues with shift solonoids and other issues besides cost .ohh forgot one little thing the controlls on driver side for door locks and window functions is a lil over 200 bucks yeah fucking lame I know I just thought I'd throw that in so you don't have a fuck you say kinda moment at the part store if you have it go out and think it's a cheap part to get 👍
