What did you cross shop and why did you choose the Pilot?

For new pilot owners, what did you cross shop and why did you choose the pilot? We’ve driven several vehicles, the traverse, grand Highlander, palisade, and pilot. I like the pilot a lot. 3rd felt smaller than the others even after I adjusted the second row, probably because of the center seat. My wife and I felt the grand highlander was just okay. It had a lot of space but the Infotainment was terrible. Also, it had the highest price and didn’t feel like it based on materials.
Palisade was nice, lots of features, rode smooth. But my perception of Hyundai reliability is not good.
I appreciate any feedback you may have to offer.
