"Love this vehicle. I live in Colorado and go to the mtns. regularly. Accelerates UP the passes past others on the highway with 4 people and gear in it. Took me over moderately snowy 4WD passes where there were signs of multiple other vehicles having had to back down/turn around. Very comfortable and my mid 80's parents love to ride in it. Great windows and passengers get full views even sitting in the third row seats."

"Bought a used 2006 Honda Pilot with 110,000 miles with leather interior and rear dvd player. I just love the inside. It is very roomy and comfortable. So far only issue is radio is bad for AM only, excellent otherwise. The DVD sound system in the back seat is fantastic. Deep base, surround sound is excellent. Sounds like a theater."

"We were leery to trade in our mini van for a Pilot, but we never really loved the mini van idea to begin with. It was a choice of practicality. As our kids are now 2.5 and 3.5 years old we felt we'd try the Pilot out. I was afraid I'd miss things about the mini van (storage, automatic opening doors, extra seat in back, much more room. To some extent I do miss the room to "roam about the van" if kids need me back there --- but that is all I miss. Love our Pilot!! Anxious to see how it handles in the snowy, icy, NW Ohio winter weather."

"Most reliable vehicle I have ever had. Very comfortable on highway, pretty peppy for size and its 3.5L V6 engine. Vehicle is very boring looks-wise but if you are looking for great ride for family that seats 8 and want dependability this is the vehicle. I would ditch the Goodyear Integrity tires that comes standard on vehicle however as they just don't match up to Michelin tires which recently went with. I plan to keep this vehicle for a long time as I expect it to last."

Pilot VS Highlander

"I own both a 2006 Honda Pilot and a 2005 Toyota Highlander a were going to compare the 2 as part of the review. Both have similar specs, V6 & AWD. The Pilot is slightly more comfortable than the Highlander. It is a few inches wider, taller and longer. The Pilot is easier to get in and out of and is the vehicle I chose when I have to haul larger bulkier items. The Highlander wins the performance round, it is faster, smoother, & handles better than the Pilot. It is also way more fuel efficient. With the Pilot I never get 20 MPG, it is between 15-19 MPG all the time. Our Toyota Highlander never get below 20 MPG, it gets 20-24 MPG with similar type of driving. I think the difference in the performance is due to the difference in weight. The Pilot weighs about 800 lbs more than the Highlander (or ~20%). It feels when driving and it feels when filling the tank at the gas station. Another area where the Pilot falls short of the Highlander is the interior, (not that either one looks like an Audi). The fabric in the Pilot is of very poor quality, shows stains very easily. The lighting of the instrument panel is also lacking and it is hard to see wether the A/C light is on or off. Both car are exceptionally reliable, I have not had anything other than scheduled maintenance on either one. I would recommend both vehicles but If I had to pick one SUV over the other I would pick the Toyota. If I really needed the extra room I'd go with the Pilot."

"Totalled my yukon xl. Insurance only gave me a smidgin of what that was worth! So for the amount I pd. I got a very reliable pilot, exl version, 4x4. Love Honda! Also have an accord. Handles almost the same. A little rough on some turns. Not too crazy about the stereo, must be upgraded. Comfortable chairs. Dvd player, and it fits all of my 4 children comfortably. A little snug in the back seat, thats for the smaller kids. Overall, I am happy with my pilot. Well worth the money!!!"

"Nicknamed the "Locker Room", this car is overall awesome.It goes pretty fast and has alot of legroom.The back row folds flat for grocery bags, and is a snap to fold back up. The EX-L model has all the best features like leather.The dvd and cd player keep the kids entertained.Everybody should own one who has an SUV"
