Did everything driven over 326000 miles before sol

This was an amazing ute. It was comfortable agile capable in towing, snow, back woods, kid friendly, pet friendly, Durable and fun to drive. I got a deal on my friends Cadillac 2 years ago and sold it. But I am sure it would have been safer than what the Cadillac put me through. So I almost replaced it with an 08 because I don't like the newer version but like the 2016 but couldn't afford that so I went with the 2013 pathfinder. So far I like it more but driving wise I think the 04 pilot was more secure in its footing. My commute was 120 miles each way and I was essential government, so no matter the weather I had to be there.

Best car ever!

Bought the car new & still have it. Outside of general maintenance I've had very few major repairs. I do a lot of driving & car is great. Only problem is interior roof material falling down, I'm guessing due to age. I love my Pilot, the most reliable car I've ever owned & now looking at another.

It lasted me 13 years and is still going strong!

I loved my 2006 Honda, Pilot. It was driven off the showroom floor for me fully loaded and has been one of the best and most reliable vehicles I have owned. It is so reliable I just gave it to my daughter and her two young sons. It currently has 227,000 miles, but I have no doubt it will go another 75-100,00 with care :-).

Reliable low maintenance car

This car is very spacious, meets all my need for travel, while being comfortable and reliable on the road, very low maintenance. Adequate leg room for my adult children when we have to travel together

Dependable Family SUV

Great for the family and long trips (DC to Orlando 5 times). Honda reliability and no hiccups in 12+ years. Felt like it could run for several more years and another 100k miles.

Trouble free

We bought this car for it's towing capacity and reliability record. We were never disappointed. We get just under 20mpg. My only complaint is that I am average height, but wish the seat went back another inch or two.
