Unlike the Tribeca, you can actually fit people in the 3rd row if necessary. As for the ride and comfort......all 5 out of 5 star rating I would give it. Very smooth, very quiet in the cabin. Gas was great for an SUV. I live in NJ and went to school in VT and I could make the trip with a 1/4 tank of gas left. I think the trip was around 290 miles. My sister leased the new model Pilot last year and it is still just as good, if not better. If I could do it over again I would gladly hand my shitty Tribeca in for a Pilot. I think it is degrading to the Pilot to even compare it with the Tribeca. However, if you are looking into the Pilot they are coming out with a full make over model this year so check that out.

|
Well two of the 3 kids are too big for boosters. I think she just wants something other than a van. She thinks a SUV or crossover will have more room (wrong) but she won't believe me. I'm taking her car shopping this weekend so she can see herself.

Sorry you don't like the Tribeca. What about it don't you like? I'm probably going to write it off anyways, but I'm curious.

Replying to: irg (Mar 28, 2008 10:43 am) We did that, it helped narrow it down a lot. Surprisingly, 3 out of the 4 of us preferred cloth over leather.

Replying to: irg (Mar 28, 2008 10:43 am) Pros: very comfortable seats, everything is easy to reach on the dash, smooth ride at higher speeds, dash controls illuminate nicely at night, great handling in crappy weather. Cons: Terrible on gas, very stiff ride for city driving, cabin noise (headliner, rear panels) is excessive, rear hatch is noisy, rear seats make a knocking sound over bumps, third row is pointless. Just make sure when you test drive the car (if you do), take it over different types of road surfaces at different speeds. Go with the Pilot....as soon as i can afford to hand my Tribeca in I will be going straight to Honda for another Pilot
