four wheel drive Honda Pilot?

[Shelley]

I drive a somewhat twisty-turny road to work, and so traded in my sedan this summer for a 2005 Honda Pilot (also needed a larger vehicle to transport a large dog)

I admit completely that I am by no means a car expert-that's why I'm here : ) And while my Pilot is 4 wheel drive, as it turns out it is not consistently four wheel drive;. . . .I'd need to go grab the manual for the vehicle but it supposedly senses the need for 4 wheel drive vs two wheel drive and reacts accordingly? I would love if someone out there could please explain this to me, ie how it works and how good the Pilot actually IS on icy or snowy roads. Did I make a decent choice? Someone recently told me I should've looked into a used Land Rover or something else instead. Thanks.

The AWD system works pretty good. I don't like HONDA........ HOWEVER, they ARE pretty good cars.... LAND ROVER is CRAP... you made a good choice.
