The 2007 Honda Pilot I bought
The 2007 Honda Pilot I bought in 2014 has appalling rust on the roof. Most of it is within an inch of the windshield, but a few dime and nickel size spots are scattered around the middle of the roof. The ones along the windshield started as slight bumps that broke through the paint, as though screws had protruded from inside. Admittedly we live on the Washington coast and drive on the beach a few times a week. But our neighbors' cars don't rust like this, and the first small rust spot on the side of our Pilot has remained insignificant while the roof has exploded in rust. The local body shop says nothing can be done, no use trying, it's not worth it. Barkeeper's Friend powder rubbed on the spots makes them less noticeable, but a few are going to be leaking rain to the interior soon. I like the Pilot a lot, but I'm shopping for a Toyota.
