For example, I am comparing 2 cars at the same price points, both in my state of Indiana:

2019 Honda Pilot EX-L Indianapolis IN | Carmel Fishers Noblesville Indiana 5FNYF6H52KB063125
As you can see above, the Chevy Traverse LT Leather has far more bells and whistles for the same price than the Pilot EX-L, both 2019 models, and more seating and cargo space, and both are 3 years old, neither of them are Manufacturer Certified. The Chevy is at a Honda dealership, and the Honda is at an Acura dealership. If not for my wife's bias against American cars (she loves Hondas and Toyotas if we want to keep our vehicle for 150K miles at least

), I would be leaning towards the Traverse. Every time we drove a Ford Explorer as rentals, I loved it far more than she did. She is only 5'4" and felt the Ford Explorer taxed her a bit more on long drives. Every time I have driven a Pilot, I can feel the bumps and potholes. The leather on Explorers is real nice and comfy but is not as tight as time goes on and starts showing far more wrinkles with higher mileage (noticed it when we drove a 50K miles Ford Explorer Limited for a test drive). The leather on the Traverse, Pilot and Highlander seems to be stitched tighter and holds up more as time goes on, when we drove ones with 30-40K miles (have to admit that Traverse and Highlander drove better than the Pilot in that mileage range).
If you saw the above 2 listings, which would you lean towards and why?
