When we purchased this vehicle there were a few other contenders, but we really like the traditional style and cab space in comparison. We were not disappointed. With two adult children and two small children we really needed a third row seat and still have room in the hatch. We have never been cramped for space. I love how easy and accessible all of the controls are. We travel a lot on the road and sometimes take a large crated dog. We have been able to fit our crate and travel needs in order for our family to take advantage of our time together. My Honda Pilot has almost 100,000 miles on it and it still drives tight with very little road noise. The driver's seat is easily adjustable and very comfortable. I love all of the hidden storage features so that my vehicle can seem organized and cleaner that it really is. Maintenance has been reasonable and not too expensive and we have not needed any maintenance outside of the normal scheduled items.

I like the space in my car. I have three young children and their car seats all fit into my pilot with ease. It is easy to keep clean with the leather seats, and a fun car to drive. It does have some blind spots, and those are enhanced if you're short. It has decent gas mileage for a larger car and handles well in all weather. The sound system is adequate as it can be heard in the last row. I also like that I can put just one seat up in the last row. It helps with storage space for larger items like strollers and groceries. The car is easy to get in and out of, even for my elderly mother.
