Didit - Honda Pilot

gotgone · 01-29-2011, 11:33 AM

I traded my 02 Tundra in yesterday. I got an 08 mocha metallic ex pilot. The car has 30k on it. I got the dealer within $500 of what I wanted to pay. They finally threw in 5yrs/100k bumper to bumper warranty. Also got Simoniz Glasscoat paint and interior treatment for nuttin. So far I am happy. The tundra was a great truck and only had 75k on it. It didn't have abs on it. We get a lot of snow around here and I just wasn't comfortable with the brake system. The wife is happier than I am. I always took her sienna when the roads were bad.
I do have a question or two. Since it is just my wife and me, I am thinking about lowering the third seat and getting a cargo mat for that area. Any recommendations for a decent mat. I am totally anal about my cars and wonder if leaving the third seat lowered indefinitely will cause any harm to the seat fabric. Stupid question I know. Thanks for any advice.

No problems with the seat fabric. WeatherTech or Honda for the rear cargo area and you can't go wrong. I'm partial to WeatherTech as you can tell.

Beyond mat it's a vinyl seat cover in the back so unless you stab it with a knife you can't do any damage to it.

BUT I did get some non-weathertech

mat just to cover the trunk area from dirt.
