Sorry to hear you aren't enjoying your pilot. In late November I put a deposit on a Pilot Touring. The order was submitted in late January. In late February I put a deposit on a CX-90 Turbo S base.
Test drove a Pilot in January and left with feelings that mirror your own. It didn't feel like it was worth the $. Seats were uncomfortable for my wife and I and the kids. Interior bland and infotainment screen that blocks some view out the front. Really wanted to like it and left very disappointed.
In early March our Pilot arrived at the dealer when we were on vacation. On that vacation we drove a Turbo S Premium and fell in love. We all looked at each other and knew it was the one. Smaller interior room for sure but just clicked with our family. Honda dealer called when we got back and we told him to give it to someone else. He was shocked, asked us to come in but we passed. Our Turbo S Base arrives in late June.
All this to say your review is like you read my mind. We could have lived with the Pilot. I am sure it would have been reliable and practical. But we had an Odyssey the last 11 years. It was fine, made life with 2 kids easier but neither of us ever enjoyed driving it...ever.
You have a great SUV. Drive it and enjoy it. When you are ready get CX-90 or 70. By then thr bugs will be found by us early adopter beta testers. You will have a better vehicle for it!
