I love the fact that I can easily fit my child and all of the things that come with her. Honda has definitely had families in mind when making this car, between the DVD entertainment system, the spacious 3rd rows and the one touch lift gate it makes transporting my family much more enjoyable. I have the AWD so the gas mileage could definitely be better but considering the size of the car and the fact that it has decent acceleration and pick up, I think it's a reasonable sacrifice to make. I ended up getting a black Pilot, which was not my first choice and was worried about the Texas heat roasting us during the summer, but the built in window shades make it much better and it doesn't seem to be any difference than my previous car that was white.

I currently drive a 2013 Honda Pilot and I love it. There is plenty of room for my 2 kids plus our family dog with the 3rd row of seats. Comparing it to the minivans my friends drive, it has the same amount of space for people as well as in the trunk but without the look of a van (which is not my cup of tea). I consistently get 20 to 21 mpg and if I do a lot of highway driving it can go as high as 23 mpg. Lots of space, great mpg for an SUV and it looks cool.
