People would put door dings in it without any regard no matter how far out I parked it. Mine got a solid 11.4 MPG city/highway/towing/up hill/ down hill, just didn't matter.
The Pathfinder is great and I got it for like $26k, so that was less than half what the H2 cost. You may want to give them a look. We enjoy the Pathfinder so much and the buying experience that we bought the 370Z two months later and traded our 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe. It helped Nissan's cause that the Infiniti dealership here is apparently doing so much business that they did not need us anymore. We had only bought 2 G35 coupes from them.
Plus the V6 Pathfinder tows more than the H2, believe it or not.

Surprisingly, I haven't been given that hard of a time about owning an H2 where I live. They are EVERYWHERE here..yet interestingly, I FEEL GUILTY owning the thing now. Your the second person who has mentioned the Pathfinder, I may have to go check those out as well. As for the towing, I'm not too concerned about that-- did you think the H2 towed very well? I towed my 23 foot Sanger boat with it and I never really felt comfortable. If I towed the boat with my husbands Chevy truck (longbed, diesel) It was like I couldn't even feel it back there. I always attributed that to the short wheel base of my H2..but I digress....lol..I don't plan on towing anything with whatever I get after this. He has his truck and I just want something smaller and less bulky/better gas mileage. (I got about the same as you with my H2) I feel like I need to stick with a crossover or SUV still, with the 3 kids and their sports, etc. But it's tempting to go look at a sedan (like the G37 coupe)... I'm so undecided. (I'm also oddly attached to my H2, so getting rid of it will be sad for me..even though I don't seem to "want" it anymore..I'm weird.)
Thanks!
