Preparing for the inevitable. Hoping to get another year, at least, out of my van…. Not sure that is realistic. Looking at a 2012 Pilot. Do you own one? Do you like it? Gas mileage? What don't you like? TIA!  |

Pretty much every US embassy employee in Panama owns a Pilot.
Not sure on gas mileage but I know the reliability is great.

Wasn't it mommakate who had one?
I've never heard bad things about them, but we looked at one a while back b/c we were thinking that we might replace our odyssey with one, but the inside of it was, surprisingly, smaller than the inside of our van is. I'm not sure if it's that way now, b/c I think that the new odysseys might be smaller (not as tall, at least).
We've been considering the Acura MDX.
Like you though, I'm hoping to get another year out of my van.

Wish I knew.
I have a Honda Civic, and I LOVE it.
It's old, but the reliability is great.
I'll def. look @ Honda when it comes time for me to get something else .... someday.
My mom drove a 2001 (I think) Honda .... something.
CRV ??
Sort of close to a Pilot?
She's only got about 70,000 miles on it & NEVER had a lick of trouble with it.
It'll be going up for sale this spring.
My sister asked me if she could buy it "now" & then sell it later to us (she drives a BMW which is HORRIBLE in this IN snow).
I'm fine with that.
We actually want to buy it & have it for DS, or maybe DD.
But if DD gets it, she'll have to buy it.
One way or another, we hope to end up with mom's car.
She took such good care of it, and we are Honda people here.

Thanks!
I have owned 4 Honda's in the past. Best cars ever.
Then we needed a minivan ..Wanted an Odyssey, but Chrysler had 0% financing, so we went with a Town and Country. I liked it well enough, but there's nothing like a Honda.
I think that is why I am heading back in that direction.
City, I hope you can get your Mom's CRV ( I love them, but too small for our fam. )

We have a CRV  The boys especially like it. They much prefer to drive it than the van. We've had ours for, hmmm, 11 years, so it's not the same style as the ones that they make now. It's more of a box shape that doesn't have the hatchback. I struggle with the idea of leaving honda too - thinking, if it 'aint broke, don't fix it mentality. It's worked so well for us, that I'm afraid to stray from it. But, I didn't realize that Acura was honda also. I guess it's just the higher end of honda or something? Who knew? My husband told me that not too long ago. I don't like the look of the odyssey right now. It looks like a hearse to me.  I guess it's a simple thing, but I don't want to drive a hearse for the 15 or whatever years that we'd have it. The pilot is so much taller and bulkier, that I think that I'd have to learn how to drive it. I've never driven anything higher than a van though. |

My friend has had a Pilot for years. I drove it once and loved it.

I don't like the look of the odyssey right now. It looks like a hearse to me. My dh said the exact same thing to me tonight when we drove through the dealership lot…. the style changed recently! |

My sister does a 2013 or 2014. She loves it. She told me the other day that I think it was near 30mpg which I thought sounded crazy. She said that is what it says on their display.
