FYI the Honda Pilot actually gets alot less mileage than they advertise, info is straight from my Honda dealer. Every small SUV out there is an attempt to copy the X5 the last 5 years.

I understand the 'kiddie' factor.

You are in a period in your life where sacrifices are made to accommidate others.

You may have to get a vehicle that won't cause you a heartattack if it gets 'trashed'.

You can always come back to a X5 when they are more responsible.
