"we are happy with the car. Feels much bigger than our old pilot and the gas mileage is better. We will have to get use to the black interior."

"after months of research and comparisons this style and size of SUV had the best over all design and engineering for our needs. the interior is very well engineered. the performance has been nothing but great. It does only have now 10300 miles the last 3500 miles was a cross country road trip and it worked like a charm. the gas miles was as good as expected for the MPH driven and size of vehicle. like us all we all would like better fuel efficiency but the industry has its hands tied by the corp. oil and fed / state tax lobby. for every extra mile per gallon is that less profit and tax revenue. If your needs are for a growing family this is the car that will not let you down. hoe this helps"

"Bought new in June 2011. I have EX-L model. Replaced a 2006 Buick Rendezvous. Had a couple of issues - inside mirror was distorted and molding around driver's side window was crumpled - dealer took care of each. Now have over 14,000 miles on vehicle. Vehicle is reliable, sturdy, and roomy. Great visibility. Not real great on gas mileage but knew that going in. Car has a back-up camera in mirror but should have back-up sensors also because camera distorts distance."

"We recently purchased a 2011 Honda Pilot EX-L to replace our 2004 Pilot EX-L. They improved the interior layout making its interior bigger, improved the second row seat adjustments, improved the 3rd row seat deployment, and added electric control to the front passenger seat. EX-L also has a back up camera with display in the rear view mirror. The rear door/ hatch has a window that opens now as well. Great family SUV at a great value."

"I have had 4 Hondas,2 CRV's, 2 Pilots. Love them both. Needed a bigger SUV, so I bought a Pilot and it's the best vehicle I have ever owned. Economical for a full-size SUV, stylish, rides so smooth, NEVER needs a repair. Honda's are the most reliable! Not too expensive. I don't mind my monthly payment because I have peace of mind. Love my Pilot, it's one of my favorite things!! And I'm hard to please!!"

"The Pilot is very well suited for our needs. It has a great deal of configuration flexibility and plenty of room. We have a summer home in the mountains, so we need to transport alot; we need good traction for gravel mountain roads and, at times, we need to accomodate 6 or 8 people. The Pilot is perfect. It rides will and has lots of storage compartments. I am proud to own it. The only downside is that I would have liked a bit more MPG."

Beware Don't Buy 2011 Honda Pilot

"Purchased 2011 Pilot to replace a 2007 Pilot and went from the best car ever owned to the worst. It was uncomfortable, the seats were hard and put me in great pain, had no storage, not even a usuable drink holder, was hard to drive. It ws so miserable, that I didn't drive it, and with less than 3,000 miles at great financial loss to me got rid of it . The 2008 Pilot is the last year the 2007 styling was used, so I shopped online and traded the 2011 in on a 2008 with only 23,000 miles 800 miles away. The 2008 is a dream car again, comfortable, usuable interior room, easy to manuever, great rear storage. Why Honda changed a winner design so much that the dream became a nightmare has me shaking my head. With such poor interior design I won't be purchasing any more Hondo's."

"I purchased the Honda Pilot Touring. So far I love the ride and comfort. We've taken it on a couple of long trips. We like the XM radio, Hands Free Link, and are getting use to the GPS. I was very disappointed in the GPS, and wished it had more functions and was cheaper to update. Gas milage is mediocre, but I expected that. It's what we wanted and we are pleased"

"i don't know... i can see the foam used for noise insulation when i open the door. it's ugly... i like the pilot but it may not be the best for the money. i got a good price on it so i bought it. i got 5K off the sticker price. engine seems well made. overall the vehicle seems a little delicate in the interior. the rubber seals seem delicate compared with previous suv's i've had. it does drive good though. very smooth. i bought an exl. the 4wd sure is unique depending on how you want to look at it."
