If you can afford the MDX, go for it. I have a Pilot, but if I had
just a bit more cash for a downpayment, I would've went for the MDX.
Don't get me wrong, my Pilot is a fine vehicle, but hey, if you can
afford to drive an Acura, why not? Plus, my Pilot just got higher
roll-over safety ratings than the MDX according to the NHTSA,
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/2003SUVs.html.

Go check out www.honda-pilot.org and www.acuramdx.org for discussions
on pros and cons of buying one or the other. You can always ask more
questions after you read up on some of the threads of discussions on
your inquiry. Good luck!

You're recommending the MDX, even though the Pilot has better safety
ratings??

I guess I am. But it's not as though there's a hug disparity between
MDX's and Pilot's safety ratings. Would you agree? Very marginal at
the most. There are people out there who recommend other SUV's which
has far inferior safety ratings over the Pilot and worse yet, there
are countless out there that drive them.

You make it sound as though I've just committed some great sin
recommending the MDX over the Pilot. Even in www.honda-pilot.org, of
which I'm a member and frequent contributor, I've always said that I'd
get an MDX over the Pilot if I could've afforded it. Quite a few
concurred.

I thought they were the same car, with only trim differences.

I guess you're right... chances are, if people are really intrested in
safety, they wouldn't usually buy an SUV to begin with.

That said, safety IS very important for me and my family, but hey, I'm wierd
that way.

I took a short ride in the '03 Pilot the other day. It is surprisingly
luxurious (for a truck) with the better trim models, has a DVD player etc.
I believe it is made by Isuzu.


You should take a test drive of both vehicles before you decide.

Hi,
Even safest car in the world won't help if stupid driver drives it.
