The vehicle has aged well as far as design of the body and how attractive it looks to newer luxury SUVs. Engine is one of the most powerful that Honda has produced, and has come in handy the few times I have had to tow a U-Haul or trailer. The mileage is overall rather poor, and the need for premium only gas is not ideal. The vehicle has been in one serious accident with ~120,000 miles of driving. During which is performed fantastically and had minimal damage during a 45 mph T-bone incident. As far as safety is concerned the vehicle gets top marks from me. From a comfort perspective it is great. AC system was held up well and is responsive. Leather seats have taken a beating and held up well too. Plenty of leg room and side runners for ease of entry into the vehicle. I use the vehicle for transporting large amounts of lumber and free wood from craigslist for my own wood working purposes and it has been great for that, I'm very pleased.

The worst part of the SUV is probably the gas mileage. In an economy like this with gas prices so high, it isn't exactly cheap to keep heading to the gas station every time you hit 350 miles. However, other than that, it's a great vehicle. It's easy to maintain, to the point that I take care of the vehicle myself (oil changes, brake pads, tire rotations, etc.). It also drives very smoothly. You don't need to absolutely pump the gas to make it go, and you don't need to absolutely slam the brakes to make it stop. It's by no means a cheap car, but the luxury is certainly worth the price, and it's still performing as it did day one, straight off of the dealership's lot.
