We have an 07 Pilot....if compared to the CRV, ours is better. The engine is a V6, but drops down to a 4 cykinder when driving on the interstate or city...the gas mileage is fantastic!! We average 28-34 mpg.....plus, it has the 3rd row that fold down completely...i have hauled a kitchen table and washer dryer set in there....plus, the crash rating is the highest for an SUV...which means cheaper insurance.
