A New SUV that suits our needs w/many Extras!

We test drove in Greenacres, Fl, a Honda Pilot, & Honda Minivan. We tried in West Palm Beach ,Toyota Dealership, the Toyota Highlander, but was too small for our needs. The new Nissan Dealer across the street from the Honda, wanted us to buy the Rogue Outright, w/NO Testdrive on either the Rogue or Murano! We went back, & bought a Honda Pilot for it's comfortable ride,& the Salesman's ease of not pushing us into a sale, as we did tell him originally, we were not buy that day & checking out various models. :-) The Pilot has much smoother ride than our old SUV The Cheverolet TrailBlazer. We love the Back-up ,& Side cameras & hubby is getting used to keyless starter,& electronic speedometer besides the music/telephone/computer system. A lot of nice Safety Features ! The Safety Lane Feature was in the Mini-Van but felt too big to drive! My hubby cut the testdrive short! Our old TrailBlazer, had none of these! Honda Pilot's Gas mileage is better in the city than our old TrailBlazer! If you don't need the third row seat you can stow it away inside! That We did that to create more Trunk space! There is also an inner Well Space, you can open up to put your groceries into it, not worry about them, moving around while traveling, from the store-home! That's awesome as we used to bring a Tub in Old SUV, to put certain Groceries in, to prevent them from moving around! :-) This is a Multifunctional- 1 family Vehicle! Hubby uses it for: his work, his occasional weekend side work, an occasional set-up @ the Flea Market, & most of our Vacations as Hubby hates flying! :-)

New favorite car!

I should have went for this car years ago. It?s totally beautiful inside & out with plenty of room for passengers & greyhounds! I would totally recommend the Honda Pilot & Honda in general.

Very Dependable

We enjoy the room inside the vehicle, color and how it operates. The dealership is very friendly and we have had very good service. Jeff Armstrong was a good salesman in that he provided the information we needed to make a decision and did not put pressure on us to lease.

Zero issues - Nice Ride

This is the second Pilot I have owned. The first one also had no issues other than normal wear and tear. Very nice to drive and handle well. Very comfortable.

Pilot Rocks

This car meets all my needs without being overblown with gadgets etc. My wife and I have the EX-L model which suits us perfectly and provides all the necessities we needed. This will be yet another Honda in my family for a generation.

So for so good.

This car meets our families need for a bigger vehicle. With our kids getting older we needed something that we could haul them and any equipment from soccer to camping.

Absolutely love this car

It's got lots of room. Drives great, handles like a champ. Drove it to Michigan and it was a nice ride. I feel safe in it. Has apple play and all the updates.
