Love My New Pilot!

After test driving many, many vehicles, I leased a 2018 Honda Pilot to replace my 2017 Audi Q7. The maintenance and repair costs for the Q7 (my second Audi and my 7th German car) kept me from getting another German car. I?ve now had my Pilot for about 3 weeks and love it. So far, I?ve had no infotainment problems like many others have noted. I use the volume control on the steering wheel and don?t miss the knob. The delay in response time for the head unit is only a second or two. Apple CarPlay has worked flawlessly. The Garmin Nav works equally well. The voice control system could be improved. It?s not as quick as CarPlay. Bluetooth streaming is flawless. Seating comfort (critically important for me in light of a spinal surgery and a spinal fusion) is excellent, supportive, and not hard like most German makes. I have an Elite trim, which is very quiet. The sound system is very good. The Pilot also handles surprisingly well, given its size. Fit and finish are very good too, but my dealership (Rusty Wallace Honda) does a detailed inspection before delivery. All in all, I really like my Pilot.

Superb All Around Vehicle

After owning a 2015 Honda Pilot 2WD SE, the 2018 Honda Pilot AWD EX-L was love at first test drive! It?s extremely comfortable with all the room my family of 6 needs. My wife was not too keen on the body style at first but, she too has also fallen in love. The all wheel drive gives you confidence in any weather and driving condition! The rear entertainment and other user friendly features of the Pilot are phenomenal. We are happy to own our new vehicle and look forward to many years and miles with this new edition to our family!

Honda Pilot 2018

It has met all my expectations and I would choose Autonation first to buy a new car. All the people involved were very knowledgable and helpful in every way possible.

Very spacious on the inside, lost of room for kids

I bought this car for my wife and she loves it. Lots of tech and safety features. Lots of room for the humongous car seat we have. Very smooth ride, especially for travelling. Switching to economy mode while traveling save some gas, great feature for long trips.
