Everyone I know who has a pilot loves it though. Most people say the highlander doesn't drive that great and the third row is tiny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-545282 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:25:14 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 545282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pilot....hands down.</p> <p>I am a firm believer that hondas are the best cars out there and I love the way the pilots look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-545280 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:23:26 +0000 StbHisMrs 545280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting ready to trade in my Explorer for a Nissan Armada, tons of room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544917 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:24:32 +0000 LuLu Mom 544917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Highlader, it was a close second to our GMC Acadia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544907 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:22:55 +0000 Shutterbug 544907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Pilot and the third row is definitely useable for adults, but probably not tall adults, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544773 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:42:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 544773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope he's ok! We test drove the Pilot and the Highlander. We didn't really like the Highlander and the Pilot was too boxy and expensive for us. (mini vans were also too expensive and too expansive, haha, for us.) We started looking elsewhere (we've had 5 Hondas in a row so it was tough to look at something else) and ended up with a Mazda CX-9 after test driving it and falling in love with it. It was also pricey but we made it work with leasing and plan to buy it at the end of our lease. </p> <p>I LOVE IT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544759 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:38:24 +0000 birdofafeather 544759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a big fan of the pilot my friend has but our friends have a highlander and love it. We are also considering all these SUVs when the time comes to replace our cars. I will avoid mini vans until I am forced to buy one, which will hopefully be never! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544581 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:57:38 +0000 LindsayInNY 544581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle - Totally understandable! Jeep is American but part of Chrysler. Might be another option if you don't find a good Honda or Toyota? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544534 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:48:29 +0000 Weagle 544534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: DH just prefers Hondas and Toyotas... He's not a huge fan of American auto companies. Though, he's not too anti-Ford. And we've just always driven Hondas and Toyotas. We like them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544494 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:39:03 +0000 LindsayInNY 544494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Honda Pilot since my parents had one that I liked. Although, I have to confess, we're a Ford family. FIL works for Ford and will practically disown us if we own a foreign car, especially Japanese. We replaced our Ford Escape with a Jeep Liberty recently. Any reason you won't consider Ford or Jeep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544454 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:22:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 544454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would look at the Chrysler Town and Country! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544447 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:19:41 +0000 T-Mom 544447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: So good to hear that your DH is fine. Winter driving is no joke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544427 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:14:47 +0000 Anagram 544427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister has a highlander that is super nice. The 3rd row is handy because when lots of people are riding, the kids go in the back--haha. </p> <p>The downside to SUVs are that, generally speaking, the gas mileage is much more than a minivan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544418 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:13:05 +0000 Weagle 544418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: @HLK208: @Alivoo01: @MamaMoose: Thanks! He's fine. It was a slow wreck caused by an icy bridge. I'm super thankful only the car was damaged! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544360 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:58:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 544360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the highlander! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544357 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:56:16 +0000 heffalump 544357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Odyssey and love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544328 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:46:10 +0000 MamaMoose 544328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope your hubs is ok!!</p> <p>I've had two Highlanders and loved them!! But I will say the third row is really only usable for kids. Or one small adult. So if you want to use it regularly a van might be more appropriate for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544323 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:43:47 +0000 Alivoo01 544323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope he's okay!! Like HLK208, I prefer SUV's over vans, and Toyota's over Honda so Highlander gets my vote! We have a sequoia and I love it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544226 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:17:23 +0000 HLK208 544226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, is he okay?</p> <p>I love the highlander...I like SUV's more than minivans and Toyota over Honda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544224 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:16:29 +0000 T-Mom 544224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Odyssey because I have one and I love it. Sienna was a close second. We test drove Pilot and Highlander, but in the end the 3rd row just wasn't that functional (for us). We have grandparents to tote around, and there just wasn't enough leg room. So sorry to hear about the accident! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544215 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:12:28 +0000 autumnlove 544215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL has an Odyssey and it drives really well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pilot-highlander-odyssey-or-sienna#post-544206 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:10:02 +0000 Weagle 544206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was in an accident this morning, and chances are, his car it totaled. We were planning on buying a new car for me next year, but this changes things a bit. Of the four, which would you choose? </p> <p>Our criteria:<br /> 1. Must be Honda or Toyota (we'll maybe consider others, but probably not Ford or Chevy)<br /> 2. Must have 3rd row seating. </p>
