Reliable and functions well.

This SUV is great for families. It has a good design and functions well. It drives smooth. It also has 3rd row seating, which allows for up to eight passengers. Overall, this vehicle is a great everyday SUV that provides reliability, basic needs, and functionality for a family.

Best SUV for family of 8!

With six kids, including one in a rear facing infant seat, this was the best option. With 8 passenger seating we can finally alll go places!

Best Family Vehicle EVER

I have 130k on my Pilot. It has never let me down. Easily and comfortably seats 8, heated seats, sunroof, ice cold AC. Seats fold flat for moving large/bulky items. Excellent mpg for such a large vehicle. Perfect for family, kids and clients.

Keeps on running

I really like my Honda Pilot because it has always been reliable for me. I'm the third owner, but it's been a great vehicle for me the the last 3 years. Plus with the 4 wheel lock option, nothing stops it.

Love my Pilot!

I love this car. I would not be getting rid of it BUT we recently had twins and then we have two growing boys and there is not enough room for the carseats, stroller, and my car is my "office". So I am sad to say goodbye. It is a GREAT investment!

Very Reliable, Functional and Economical

This vehicle served our family well for more than 10 years and still has plenty of life. It is a great travel vehicle. Can be used to haul or even carry a small sports team to and from games. Never had to use it in deep snow until 2015 and the vehicle traction was better than my Jeep. With the right truck tires it handles and rides great. And of course, it is very reliable.

Excellent used car

We needed a vehicle that could handle our growing family without going minivan. Enter the Pilot. I love the Honda reliability and build quality. The interior design and some of the esthetic features are spartan and could use some more comfort, but for a family of 3 kids it's amazing. If you're on the fence just go for it, you won't regret it.

Bad gas loud interior

Got this car at 76000 miles went from a suburban to a pilot and not impressed it's just as fast as a v-8 but that's about all it has 4wd and it failed me got stuck in my yard did nothing but spin in snow there is a constant engine knocking no one can tell me what it's from I know this is a Honda so it will last along time but I can not wait till this car is done with also interior sounds like your in a cheap subcompact it is so loud
