Reader’s Question:

I have read a couple of reviews about the 2009 Honda Pilot here in Houston, Texas. What gives it more edge over the Honda Element?

I give my recommendation to the new 2009 Honda Pilot. This is the SUV most Honda aficionados have been waiting for. I can say that it is a remake of the Honda Element with much more feature in store for you. If the Honda Element had more rounded shapes, this new Honda Pilot has more squares in it. The Honda Pilot is much bigger than its counterpart. One more improvement is that the front view is now marked boldly with a unique grill. It has daytime running lights which provide added safety factor especially during dawn driving around Houston, Texas.

The Honda Pilot’s driving mechanism is really impressive. The acceleration power is really good. You may have minor issues with the aerodynamics, but that was too minimal. Parking may also come a bit inconvenient because the Pilot has a big body. One advantage though is that you can see the road better since it is indeed big in size (well especially for my size, I am only 5 feet 5 inches tall).

Overall, the as compared to the Honda Element, I can say that the Honda Pilot is a big match for the Element, much bigger in size and space and definitely effective for long family trips. I also recommend having insurance for this big SUV since you might be using it a lot. You can look up some of the existing rates on this webpage.
