Does it Cost a Pot of Gold? - 2016 Honda Pilot Long-Term Road Test
Our 2016 Honda Pilot Elite cost about $47,000. This could be viewed as very expensive or a reasonable amount of money, depending on your point of view.

I'd say 30-37K is the max for me. Not many choices there these days. I want AWD, reliability, ground clearance, good looks, leather, bluetooth and heated seats.
I need a raise.
After following all these entries, not why your MPG is so much worse than mine, even though it's a AWD. Over the holidays with, granted two passengers , two pets, and two suitcases of luggage, I received 26.4 MPG. I regularly get 22-23 in the city easily. Maybe if I loaded it down more?
Very happy, but 47k? Cars prices have gotten crazy, pretty common to see mid-30s on three row (limited options) SUVs.
We also looked at the Sorento prior to the company's update a year ago. Biggest complaint was that the third row is lacking compared to some of these other options though, but better than NO seating options at all. Still great value.

As small as absolutely friggin' possible. I'd be looking used and trying to find a reasonable balance between depreciation and condition/miles. There is no way, whatsoever, I'd pay $45K for one of these flavorless and fat wagons. It's a depreciating asset that I'd be bored with every day I owned and lost money on it. If I needed 3 rows, I'd be exploring ex-rental minivans or seeing if deals could be had on the outgoing Mopars. If AWD were necessary, it would be whatever model depreciated more rapidly but doesn't have black dots next to it in Consumer Reports. $45K is nuts to spend on a transport pod, whether that is typical or not.
