- Reliability (4)Honda's reputation holds up well here, though early models of this generation are known for occasional oil consumption issues related to the Variable Cylinder Management system.
- Maintenance (4)Parts are affordable and widely available, and the vehicle follows a straightforward maintenance schedule, though timing belt replacements every 100k miles add to long-term costs.
- Technology (2)As an EX trim from 2009, the tech is dated; it features a basic monochromatic screen and lacks modern staples like Bluetooth streaming or a standard USB port.
- Comfort (4)With its boxy dimensions, the interior is incredibly spacious and offers legitimate three-row seating for eight, paired with a compliant ride that absorbs road imperfections well.
- Dynamics (3)The 3.5L V6 offers steady power, but the 2009 redesign feels more like a traditional truck than its predecessor, with significant body roll and steering that lacks precision.
