Look at the insurance rates of both cars. Pick the cheaper one. The car price is a one time deal, insurance will stick with you for a long time.
Does you family include babies or kids? If so, mini-vans are almost always more convenient.

Honda Pilot or Honda Odessey as family car
With lease rates these days Honda Pilot and Honda Odessey are about the same monthly payment and I am leaning more towards Pilot. I know it'll be less efficient on gas than Odessey but not much as they use the same engine if I am not mistaken.
What would you take and why?
TIA

Doesn't the Odessey have cylinder deactivation? I'm not sure if the Pilot has that.

Every thread that mentions an SUV, some tree hugger loves to take shots at it. Before you list the EVILS of SUV, you preachers aint going to change the MAJORITY of the population who actually likes the styling, versatility and safety.
Their sales are down yet new SUV are still being introduce from Audi, Subaru, Saab, etc...There's a healthy market for them and they're here to stay, just shadup and drive your wagon. Reply With Quote

On pure looks, go for the Pilot as the new Odysesy looks like ass (well of course you definition and my definition of what looks like ass could vary greatly). As for proven Honda relaiblity....huh...well Toyota's the only one that's got that covered anymore, especially on the mini-vans.

OP asked for an opinion as to which one, and I gave one. Originally Posted by loho33

We all know what you're implying by saying I "depise" SUVs. Lets not kid ourselves when there's a discussion on SUV's someone loves to ruin the thread by turning into "save the whales" dont buy an SUV.
I know I'm not helping either...Sorry OP, back to the topic. Reply With Quote

Yup, I "ruined" the thread by offering a suggestion for one of the vehicles being considered. I completely see your logic... Originally Posted by loho33

I apologize to the OP for the tangent. Don't have to consider my words at all, but this is a discussion forum.
Both should be reliable, but it really depends on your priorities. Price? (Odessey) Styling? (Pilot) Capacity? (Odessey may be a little more forgiving if you have 6th/7th passenger) Cargo? (either)Last edited by BD006; Dec 4th, 2005 at 03:10 PM.

Test drive them both with your family and take a poll. They're the ones who have to sit in it for years to come, not us.
