car seat honda pilot
Honda Odyssey or Pilot for family?
We have outgrown our CR-V and are looking at the Honda Odyssey and Pilot. We have 2 kids (5 &10) and a BIG dog that is in the car with us often. The oldest child plays lots of sports and has lacrosse sticks, bags, equipment and such always in the car. We need more seats than we have now since I often carpool with other parents to get kids here are there. Which one fits more people and stuff comfortably?
Also looking for thoughts about 4WD. We have a few snowy months every winter and I really like it in the CR-V we have now. I understand the Odyssey is available in the 4WD for big $$$, a lot more than the Pilot with 4WD. Is 4WD really worth it and really needed?
Thanks!
Both of them are great cars. However they are designed to do different things. The pilot can tow a lot more weight then the Odyssey. Comfort is going to be found in the Odyssey a bit more since it was develped for the around town family vehicle. The van will also have more “family features then “rugged features due to the diffeernt styles of vehicles. Also All wheel drive does take more gas and is not needed in cities and highways in snow. All wheel drive will help you much more in take off or accweleration in the begining verses on the road at 50mph. I would reccomend the Odyssey if it is going to be used a lot by the family. They both also have folding seats. Now the dog will have more room in the Pilot since it is taller and a bit wider.

Honda Preserves Its ‘best Automaker’ Standing
Strategic Vision Inc., the San Diego-based company which is responsible for the annual vehicle competition, has released its results. According to their survey, Honda Motor Co. is still the ‘best automaker’ for this year.
Strategic Vision has surveyed over 64,000 individuals who have purchased new vehicles from October 2005 to March 2006. Respondents have been questioned subsequent to 90 days of ownership. The company’s purpose in coming up with the survey is to know whether said purchasers are satisfied. Also, said survey is aimed at gauging the performance of automakers.
Honda Motor Co. has hold on to its survey ranking. Toyota Motor Co., on one hand, has won in 3 categories but lost in some segments of the competition. General Motors Corp. has won in 4 segments. Hyundai Motor Co. has alleviated its standing by enhancing Kia parts integrated in Optima, Azera, Sedona and Tucson. Optima grabbed the top spot for the medium car category. Azera and Sedona also bagged the top commendation for large car and minivan, respectively. Finally, Tucson was dubbed as the top-ranked small SUV.
Honda’s preservation of its ranking was drawn from the success of Civic, Accord Coupe and Pilot. Honda Civic won in the compact pickup category with the Ridgeline. Honda Accord Coupe, made it big in the mid-specialty car segment. Honda Pilot was declared the top medium crossover SUV.
“One thing about Honda that is just really clear: They have the strongest brand equity of any brand out there,” says Alexander Edwards, president of Strategic Vision’s automotive research group. “But Toyota has been moving slower than other brands when it comes to innovation.”
Edwards mentioned Ridgeline as one of the great contributions of Honda. So far, said model is one of the most costly compact pickups. It is equipped with power Honda parts including the revolutionary tailgate and a folding rear bench seat. “Such features, combined with Honda’s perceived reliability and durability, help boost the brand’s value,” says Edwards.
Edwards further noted that Toyota must be careful not to become complacent. He added, “Everybody is looking at them and asking, where are they weak?”
