Does 2010 Honda Pilot uses too much gas and is this safer?

I'm trading my 2007 corolla for 2010 pilot, but my uncle said it uses too much gas and unsafe, is this true?

It is Honda's largest SUV and as a result it WILL use more gasoline than the smaller CRv or your Corolla. I believe it is based on the Honda pick-up truck chassis, as opposed to the CRv's car chassis.

I've not heard anything about the 2010 Pilots being unsafe, but I haven't really been looking for that sort of info either. Could your Uncle be referring to THIS particular vehicle, or was he referring to ALL Pilot vehicles?

The Pilot gets 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, and it gets a little less if 4WD

The Pilot certainly uses more fuel relative to your Corolla, that's for certain. However, it is not drastically different.

Up to 17 city / 23 highway

Secondly, the Pilot is an extremely safe vehicle, more so than the Corolla in fact.
