I originally looked at the Honda Pilot, but after talking to some folks in parking lots, most did not like the car. One guy just bought a new one to tow with, and said it was the biggest mistake he made in that purchase. He rattled off several major issues with the suspension. Gas mileage was not that great.
I settled on the Subaru after talking with several folks that had the car. Everyone was very happy with their purchase.
Good resale value on the Subaru. When I was selling used cars, I never saw one sit on the lot for more than 48 hours, regardless of age, condition, or odometer reading. As long as it was priced decently, of course. When one arrived, it seemed like every salesman had several prospects to call and the race was on.

We have a 2019 RDX and while they do recommend premium, they only require 87 octane. I almost always just use mid-grade which is 89 here. Couldn't tell any significant difference in mileage/performance between mid and premium. Average MPG has been steady on 24.4. Mostly driven on the highway.


Not that sold on the RDX. Entertainment system is CRAP. Sounds okay but the interface is horrid and the nav system looks like something from 20 years ago.



If I had it to do over, I'd buy a Kia Telluride.

Short version... If you either buy used or buy 1 of the end of year closeouts to eliminate the 1Y depreciation on the Acadia, the GMC holds it's value just as well as the Pilot (slightly better).

Yay math.
Holds it's value, ok then. Iff all values held, I'll still take the Honda.
