TCC’s Bottom Line

Despite the 2014 Honda Pilot's truck-like exterior, it's one of more practical and family-friendly models on of the market today.

The 2014 Subaru Tribeca is a solid choice if you're a family who needs all-weather handling, but its old design and poor fuel economy may leave you looking elsewhere.
