I have had many vehicles over the years and got tiered of all the costs to fix and maintain them. I finally invested a little more money for a better quality vehicle a (HONDA) and loved it. With a large family it paid off in every way. So after years of diving the Odyssey, it was time for a new vehicle and there was no questioned what I was going to invest my money in another HONDA. I bought a 2007 Honda Pilot and its been great! I feel safe when I am driving my Honda even when I travel for days at a time cross country. I have been from Canada to Arizona more then once with my Hondas have never let me down. My main concern was reliability, that it would not leave me stranded like the other vehicles of the past have done. It's also great on gas with the newer VCM and super quiet. It looks great too! It's worth the little extra cost for huge saving for the long haul!
