Replying to: stmss (Jun 14, 2006 5:30 am) I cross shopped the Pilot. It has way less legroom, particularly in the second row (the FreeStyle has 41" back there). It felt too crampted in the driver's seat. I traded in a CR-V; I like Honda engineering (and safety). Nevertheless I ended up with a Ford. |

Replying to: stmss (Jun 14, 2006 10:15 am) I also agree that the Pilot didn't have enough interior space for me as compared to the Freestyle, plus the Freestyle was more quiet and drove more car-like. |

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jun 16, 2006 5:16 am) But you could also say, why buy a Pilot when you could buy an Odyssey with more interior space? Ford offers a minivan (Freestar) to compete (yes, poorly I know) against the Odyssey, an SUV (Explorer) to compete against the Pilot, and the Freestyle to compete against the Honda ??? I think that's why it can be said that the Freestyle doesn't have any direct Honda competition. |

It is a big box on wheels, and I felt like I was driving a tank. I suspect you haven't actually driven the Freestyle? It doesn't have a low roof at all, and it certainly doesn't drive like a minivan, or I wouldn't have bought it. |
