Anyone have a Honda Pilot? Love it or hate?
We have a Nissan Rogue. With my 4 yr old and infant it is SO small. It's only a 2010 but we are thinking of selling it and looking for a Honda Pilot b/c it has the 3rd row and isn't too huge. I've heard good things of the GMC Acadia but would love feedback. TIA!

Re: Anyone have a Honda Pilot? Love it or hate?
I've had the Pilot for 2 months and LOVE IT. So happy we went for it....I really don't have any complaints, the kids fit great in it, tons of room for storage when you aren't using the 3rd row...it drives so nicely...I personally think its a great choice!

Re: Anyone have a Honda Pilot? Love it or hate?
I've had my Pilot for 5 years and I love it. You have very little trunk space when using the third row, but we don't use it all that often so it's fine. I know you can fit 3 car seats across the middle row, which many other trucks can't.

We have a 1998 Honda Pilot EX and love it. Perfect size with lots of space.
I agree with PP, though. If you have the third row up, you dont have a ton of trunk storage though. But its not an issue with us since we rarely need it.

Re: Anyone have a Honda Pilot? Love it or hate?
I have an 09 and love it but because I use my 3rd row a lot I'm looking to trade it in for a minivan with 2 bucket seats in the middle. I love the way te pilot drives and it's nice and roomy. I've had it for 2 yrs almost and have no problems.

if this true i am convinced that the 06 model must be smaller. I was wondering and conisdering trading it in for a hihger model cause DD is rear facing and the passenger seat is up so much and i cant take it

Really? We have an '06 and DH and I are tall with the seats fairly far back and we never had an issue.

I dont know maybe i am expecting more room but i am uncomfortable in the passenger seat and i am only 5'2 i think if installed the car seat behind the driver seat i would probably be the only one that could drive and it would be uncomfortable. my car seat is till rear facing maybe this is why

Love it.
3rd row is great. Middle back seat is enough for a full arse, not half an arse like most cars in that class.

The front seat still can't go back all the way, BUT, you can seat an adult up front comfortably. We test drove others in the class and put the car seat in them and the Pilot gave us the most room up front.
Going from our 06 Mazda6 to the Pilot was like suddenly switching to a bus.

You and I are finally on the same page!
 
I've had a Pilot for a month and I love it. Same thing - not using the third row most of the time and DH and just did a huge stock up at Costco with both kids in the car and we couldn't believe how much we were able to fit. We had a Nissan XTerra before this, which we loved, but with two kids and all their stuff it was tight.
ETA: My DD's Godmother was actually able to sit in between the two car seats in the second row comfortably (but she's skinny... anyone bigger than a size 8 probably won't be comfortable).
