We absolutely love our Honda Pilot. We purchased it because we were adding another kid to our family and couldn't be happier. The three car seats fit perfectly across the middle seat for when we are going on trips and need to store our luggage in the back. We've never had a problem with it that we've needed repairs though we keep up basic maintenance such as tire rotations and oil changes. It drives great in the snow but does well in the high heat of the summer as well.

My Pilot is such a wonderful vehicle! It's no 4 wheeling vehicle, by any means, but it will get you unstuck in almost any situation. There's enough room for 8 and it rides great. I would not recommend getting it in black; I don't know if it's the quality of Honda's paint or us, but it seems to chip easily. It is a solid SUV; shutting the door is a solid sound and it is very safe. Honda's vehicles are made to last, so hopefully, with proper care, we can be an owner to make it to 300,000+ on the mileage. Speaking of mileage, we average about 23 mpg, with city/highway driving.

The main reason I bought the Pilot was the space it has throughout the whole vehicle, but specifically the trunk and back seat. All the back seats fold down to make a much larger trunk to haul around whatever you might need to move from a different state or even to go out on a camping trip.
