The Pilot has decent gas mileage at 21 mpg. I've owned this car for 13 years, and it has required very little repair work, just the usual brakes, etc. Body is good quality and has held up very well with little rust. The stereo system/CD player has great sound with a rear woofer in the cargo area. The drive system has VTM all-wheel capability for snow and mud.

My wife was pregnant with twins, so we were looking for something exclusively with third-row seating. I was originally turned off by the Pilot's boxiness, however the options and reliability that Honda offered won us over. We bought the car in white with grey leather trim. Our six year old continues to spill his way across the world but has yet to leave his mark in this car. I highly recommend this car to those who have families and don't want to get a minivan. This is actually bigger than any minivan and most definitely a more comfortable ride. My son is actually excited about being able to sit in the back third row, and honestly, we are pretty happy about it. We take a long trip to Missouri about once a month to visit my mother and the additional space has been a godsend. If you want a reliable SUV, get a Pilot -- it's worth the money.
