Need help picking out a car for a friend!

I've always heard questionable things about a Honda V6/Automatic combination. That said, I know a few families with Pilots and they've been okay. The Odysseys (same motor/trans) are known for glass transmissions though.

thats not exactly 100% true. Like the RSX 6 speed and the RSX/EP3 5 speed... they share parts and housings/casings but arent exactly the same.

but Honda is known to have issues with all auto trans around 180k miles.
