brother had a pilot with navigation and i thought it was a pretty tight setup. his wife wanted something bigger so they got a sequoia now... he loves that thing. i liked the pilot better than the sequoia though

I'm really leaning torward the Pilot. I'd love to get something bigger, but parking out here is already hard in the Audi, so we want to keep it midsize.

Just wondering why you need three row seating with a family of three?

Also, if you're going to use it as a minivan, why not just get one?

word, you would not be disappointed with it.. It's a little more than the range you listed, but if you drive one you will be hooked.. Other than that, pilots aren't too bad.. My parents have one and it's ok, but kinda lacking to me.. The pathfinders are nice, but if you're doing that, then just go big and get the armada..

considering that the suv is for your wife, i would say a gm trailblazer/envoy orif you want something a lil cheaper with a better warrenty a isusuz ascender(same damn thing) Onstar is the shit personally i feel that your wife would really like that especially with younger kids,if something happens on the road or something. But the pathfinder and pilot will be a good choice,if you do get the trail blazer/envoy/ascender, i would say just stick with the 4.2 6 there is only like a 25 hp difference i think between that 4.2 (275 h.p) and the 5.3 v8(300)

It only has seven passenger seating instead of eight, but it looks MUCH better. And a used one can be had for less than $25K.

We liked the Pacifica! Nice interior and rode really well!
Would be owning one now if they weren't trying to to screw me over with a trade. There was an 04/05 with everything minus AWD for 22k! Had the NAV and DVD system-
