#9 of 11 IIHS Scores [ceric] by thegraduate Feb 02, 2009 (8:54 pm)
Replying to: ceric (Sep 11, 2008 9:01 am) For those still wondering, the 2009 Honda Pilot is a "Top Safety Pick," scoring higher than the CX-9 in several categories. In fact, the Honda scored good in every single category and subcategory.   The Mazda received less than good (Acceptable) on the Frontal Offset subcategories of Head/Neck and Right Leg/Foot .   The Mazda received less than good (Acceptable) on the Side Impact subcategory of "Structure/Safety Cage."   The Mazda is not an "unsafe" car by any means, but the Pilot has shown, at least in these tests, to be somewhat better than the Mazda in crash protection.

Replying to: thegraduate (Feb 02, 2009 8:54 pm) From photos, I see both performed very well under impact. IIHS perform tests on a specific setup and speed. Under a difference condition or with a different test vehicle, the results might be different. IIHS results only show that Pilot did better than CX9 under their testing conditions and with their test vehicles. No doubt, Honda ACE has been very successful in helping their vehicles get high marks in tests.   Besides, there is the "active safety" to consider. Which vehicle allows you to better avoid accidents to begin with. To me, no doubt, CX9 wins, thanks to better handling and braking. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Feb 03, 2009 8:34 am)

Replying to: ceric (Feb 03, 2009 12:03 am) I agree with ya on all counts, and have no doubt both are safe vehicles. I was just posting to update the testing which had been done on the '09 Pilot; info that wasn't available before, when I stumbled across this thread.
