I live in an area with no snow, but the 4wd should provide additional safety on rainy days. Two friends told me to get the 4wd drive without a doubt because that is the reason for getting a crossover...to use your car's FULL potential. In addition, think of the resale value. If you plan to keep this car for more then 5 + years, get a vehicle that will keep you happy for a long time.

| I purchased a 2004 EXL in Feb/08 expecting it to get MUCH better fuel economy than our '03 Pilot EXL - but that has not been the case. In the winter (Ontario) my CRV was using nearly 17 litres/100km. Now in warm weather with no a/c running, I gave a test to both vehicles for a week driving to/from work which is about 8 minutes from home. Results? CRV used 12 litres/100km, Pilot used 13 litres/100 kms. Any thoughts? We've had it checked out and nothing is "wrong" - but according to Honda stat's - it is using way too much gas. Both vehicles are automatic and we bought the CRV to save money on gas by not driving the Pilot as much but at this rate, we should be both driving Pilots! Help??!! | |

Replying to: wisegirl (Jun 27, 2008 1:07 pm) You have an 8 minute commute. It does not matter what you drive. You should have just kept the Pilot. Such short commute won't show difference in fuel economy. Let me ask you this, if you have an 8 minute commute would other forms of transportation, or even a small car suffice? I have a 4.5 mile ride to work, and even my bike, which normally gets 60 mpg is only getting 30. There is just not enough time and distance to fully warm up and get efficient. |
