What does it take to make a great family car? Just ask the automotive experts at Honda. They've already championed the Cars.com "Family Car of the Year" award once, with the Honda Odyssey, and this year they've done it again, with the Honda Pilot.

We here at Midlands Honda couldn't be happier to hear this either. We already know what an incredible vehicle that Pilot really is, but for it to be recognized for its family-hauling traits speaks to its real value, safety, and comfort. Of course, we should also note that this isn't the first award that the Pilot has taken home recently either. More specifically, it won the "$37,000 and Under SUV Shootout," held by USA Today and MotorWeek.

When asked about the full-size SUV's latest accolade, American Honda Motor Company Co. VP of Product Planning, Vicki Poponi said, "We're delighted to see the eight-passenger Pilot's versatility and family-friendly attributes recognized with this prestigious award. The newly refined and more fuel-efficient Pilot provides real value and surprising sophistication for anyone shopping in the segment."¹

We couldn't agree more! Of course, we also realize that you may want to learn this for yourself, first hand. That's why we invite you to contact us online or by phone at (888) 695-5814 to arrange a test drive on the Pilot or any other new Honda.

Our team here at 124 Killian Commons Parkway Columbia, SC 29203 is more than prepared to answer questions about financing or leasing specific models, such as the Honda CR-V, Fit, and Crosstour. What's more, we can even go over why it's best to maintain your next Honda through our dedicated parts and service departments.
