This is my first SUV, and so far I like it. I heard quotes like "it drives like a car", but I find that the AWD makes it feel somewhat like a truck in that as soon as I ease off the accelerator the car will not coast at the same speed like a sedan. Engine has plently of power when fully loaded, but I have not tried towing yet. The ride is comfortable, and quite at lower speeds. At highway speeds, the tires "thump" when traveling over breaks in the pavement. Not sure if it's the bridgestone tires or the design of the suspension. Handles superbly. First road trip averaged 18.5 MPG during the new car break in period. Anyone looking at a SUV should test drive. EX has all features I needed.

I drive a lot, almost all highway and what a great highway cruiser this is. Plenty of room for my 3 kids and then some, great for vacation and still gets 20MPG at 75MPH. Feels incredibly safe and well built. VERY smooth ride. Basic cloth on EX is gorgeous so passed on the leather, which saves 2-4K. And with a price under $29K, a tremendous value.

Pilot leads the way!

I have owned the Pilot for less than a week, but I sure do love it. The ride is car-like and visibility over my car is ten fold. There is so much room in this mid-size SUV, even more than some larger ones. I feel the styling is very clean, inside and out. Riding down the freeway makes you feel very safe knowing that you have ten air bags availabe, if needed. It may not turn heads on the road, but that's OK because it may prevent an accident.

We have been extremely pleased with the Pilot thus far. The fit and finish on the interior is excellent and all of the controls are fairly intuitive. The car is a pleasure to drive and provides plenty of power around town. We were also impressed with the amound of room in the vehicle. My wife works out of the car and it provides a great platform for a mobile office. A great family vehicle.

We bought this car during the year-end clearance event in July of '06. I could not have made a better decision concerning a vehicle! This SUV has the space for my 4 small children, all of the stuff they tote from here to yonder, and our dog as well. The gas mileage does not compare to a car, of course, but it's not as bad as one of those "monster SUVs" either. I haven't noticed the road noise that I've read about in so many other reviews; as a matter of fact, I get compliments from passengers, all of the time, concerning the feel and sound of riding in a car! I wouldn't trade my Pilot for ANY other vehicle out there!
