Well, it depends on what you want. The Murano kicks all three Hummers, if you are buying to drive on the road. And most people that buy off-road vehicles, don't take them there, they're just trying to be cool.
So bearing that in mind, you may as well have real on road performance if that's the case.
But if you actually do go off road, then the Murano's the wrong vehicle. And I mean, really off road, not driving down the fire road to a cottage. I can do that in any car.
I admit, I almost like the looks of the H3. But the fact that it's a GM underneath, scares the stuff out of me. (Once bit...)
