We put the to the test with a road trip that took us almost to Portland and back. And considering we had four adults, an active seven-year-old and more luggage than you can imagine on board, the Pilot was surprisingly roomy and comfortable. The built-in entertainment system also went a long way in helping to cut down on the number of times we heard, βAre we there yet?β along the way. I give this SUV a big thumbs-up.
