The Saturn sedan behind me did. My rear bumper was toast, plus one taillight and some damage to the rear quarter. She hit me hard enough to push me forward several feet. |

If you're going to use the third row a lot then you should probably choose a larger vehicle. Regarding the smoothness of I4 engines, it's not just about how smooth they are at redline. It's fairly common for an I4 car to have a rough idle, especially with an automatic transmission with the AC on.

It is easily as smooth as some V6 engines (like the ones in the old GM engine family). It doesn't make the CR-V fast, and some want that. No problem there from me - it's consumer's choice. It doesn't vibrate, regardless of A/C. A lot has to do with motor mounts.

But I can still be happy with the Pilot, since I bought an ugly Ford Aerostar in 95 against the advice of my wife and daughter. It has been very reliable. And my daughter once borrowed it to take the girls to Vegas. |

Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 24, 2008 1:12 pm) But I test drove all of the competing CUV's several times and found that the 4 cylinder RAV-4 and CR-V felt rough and underpowered compared to the V6 RAV-4 and V6 Outlander. And the fuel economy wasn't very different in all of the real-world data that I could find. Even the price wasn't significantly different when similarly equipped. I don't race my Outlander so 1 second faster 0-60 times aren't a big deal, but for me it's more enjoyable for the vehicle to easily merge onto the freeway and climb up hills when loaded with passengers. The V6 with 6-speed is a really nice combination, you should try one.
