"This year's Family Car
of the Year is the Honda Pilot. With spacious seating for eight and a
thoughtful blend of family-friendly features, Cars.com editors also
picked the Honda Pilot as the winner of this year's $37,000 SUV
Shootout). The Pilot has a nice balance of size, roominess, efficiency
and versatility for even the busiest of families. Parents juggling life,
work and multiple kids' soccer teams while trying to maintain a sense
of sanity (good luck!) will have a true partner in the Pilot. Our
editors appreciated the Pilot's large number of storage nooks to keep
all the stuff families carry around well-organized. They also took note
of the second-row seats that slide back and forth to increase the amount
of legroom for either second- or third-row passengers. The second-row
seats also tilt and slide forward easily for access to the third row.
The Pilot's large cargo space features additional storage under the
cargo load floor, and this SUV's great blend of available technologies
will make life on the go just a little more pleasant. Despite its boxy
appearance, which, by the way, contributes to an open-feeling cabin, the
drive quality in the Pilot is a comfortable blend, without the body
tilt and sway one would anticipate in such a tall
SUV."
