Our '02 Sedan in much smaller than the Pilot, and long distance driving isn't as comfortable. I looked at the '05's while ours was getting serviced and they didn't look substantially bigger. Ours is a 4-banger, not the 3.0, so acceleration isn't it's strong suit, but it'll get out of it's own way. It's a pretty heavy car, and well built. Ours has averaged about 26 MPG in the last 5000 or so miles, mostly highway/city mix. I do like the integrated weather band on the radio...comes in handy traveling this time of year.
You have a couple of Subies in your past, don't cha? As I recall, they were older,though.

I'm on the fence. Totally happy with the Pilot - but unsure of the outcome of our recent accident. There is nothing in the Pilot class that I would consider other than a MDX. But I'm at the stage that I may be able to get by with less room - hence looking around at options. My main concern with the Subaru is the low seat height. I like sitting in a higher seat - easier on the legs. The Mrs. feels the same way (and you know we need to keep the Mrs. happy).
I've had 5 Subarus and happy with all ('cept maybe the Justy). Two were turbos and two were not. Love the turbo, but I would likely go for the straight Limited - not the XT. 3.0 is nice, but big $$$.
