Poor fuel economy, computer and electrical malfunctions, poor repair & diagnostic abilities of dealer service team. 12 mpg off the lot and no better than 16 so far including a trip to the keys. The H3 gets 20 !! continuous computer related issues with dash displaying erroneous readouts. "repaired" 1X, in for 2nd attempt now. My big lemon stamp is ready.
