I dont know about poor ratings for the 05 headrest (http://www.iihs.org/ratings/head_res...nts.aspx?honda) the 05 rated exactly the same with leather as the Ody 05/06 did, but its a 5 star rated vehicle any year you get. http://www.automotive.com/2005/12/ho...ety/index.html

I might be one of the few that actually prefers the 05 seats and headrests, but rear side curtain airbags would be worth it without question. Also I prefer the front end of an 05 better and the solid red tails.

The 2005 Pilot w/ cloth got a "poor" rating, while the leather got "marginal" according to the IIHS. Part of the problem is that the headrests on the older Pilots weren't adjustable. The 5-star ratings for the 2005 Pilot was only for the front and side impact.

My only complaint about the headrests on the 2005 is that they aren't adjustable. I definitely do not like the styling changes that they made for 2006... especially the grill and tail lights.
