| 2009 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | price of CX was better than the mid-level Pilot that I was considering while the included features rival the top of the line Pilot. |

| 2011 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price seemed a bit high, however, this is a top notch vehicle. |
