My previous vehicle was a Jeep Wrangler. My wife and I had our first child and decided to trade in the Jeep for a family car. I'm not down with the Mini Van look so we targeted the SUV. I test drove several SUV(s) including the Highlander, BMW X3 & X5. The Pilot was the best price for it's options. The back-up camera that comes standard with the navi-system is a dream since I was used to the small Jeep. I'd recommend this vehicle for anyone with a family.
