I like being able to use my Honda Pilot for various activities around town including commuting, hauling materials home, driving my wife and three kids as well as traveling. Despite having a lot of space, the vehicle also has a decent amount of power and I am never worried about performance when merging onto the freeway or traveling over the mountains. Mine is the All Wheel Drive model and I’ve found it reasonably capable off road for getting from point A to point B, though I am not a serious recreational off road driver. The gas mileage was a concern but I was pleasantly surprised by the performance in that regard. Obviously it isn’t as good as a smaller or less capable vehicle, but I am still able to get 300 miles out of a tank. I also like the overall looks and aesthetics of the vehicle. It is neither too sleek nor too boxy. The creature comforts are nice as well, from the heated seats in the winter to the sunroof in the summer. The sound system is nice as well, with a lot of options such as XM radio and an auxiliary input jack for convenient smartphone hookup.
