Essentially a civilian version of a desert military vehicle, the 2006 H1 Alpha has found a small but loyal following because of its unrivaled ability to climb difficult off-road trails. Fortunately, most H1 Alpha owners know to have other vehicles that can actually fit on city streets. Without proper route planning in the big city, you might be left to toil the streets in search of some out-of-the-way lot or garage that you can fit into — one with two open spots next to each other.
