You should be able to answer this. Has she not allowed you to drive the Pilot? If yes then you know the answer.
My bro bought the Pilot and having driven it myself its a fantastic car. Its quite nimble for such a large car and also gets 24MPG on the highway. The only thing I dont like are the seats which are quite hard.
I would definately accept the gift and if u dont like it sell it and get another car.
