I've never owned a Honda before (although my husband has) and it was time to trade in my van.  The kids are getting older so I felt I needed to "graduate" to something more grown-up. I chose the Honda Pilot and have not regretted that decision yet!  It is so luxurious and comfortable but it's the safety features that I love!  Airbags all around, the passenger seat automatically detects the weight of the passenger in case it is a child and shuts off the front airbag. It also detects if either front passenger is wearing their seatbeat and "alarms" you until it is put on.  This might be annoying...
