Like a new vehicle

Drives, rides, and sounds like a new vehicle after 12 years and 78000 miles. Not a squeak, rattle, or shake. Tight as the day it was new. Another pleased Honda owner.

Bad windows

Replaced all 4 window regulators. Honda had a recall on these up to 2007. I wonder if honda used parts from 2007. The dealer had no answer

Love my Pilot

This vehicle is easy to drive. Its not to high and not to low. It has a great turning radius which makes parking very easy. I enjoy driving this vehicle and it has been reliable so far, 121,000miles.

Definitely is one of the most loved and reliable.

Have over 160,000 miles on this vehicle I bought used in 2012. Reliable, powerful, excels in leg room, interior and exterior quality and handling. Only complaint is the'soft' brakes which can cause a surge due to the brake pedal meeting the accelerator when depressed. Absolutely love this vehicle and still haven't brought myself to purchase a new (er) one.

Terrific Family Vehicle

Our Honda Pilot has been a great vehicle. It is comfortable and the heating/cooling is superb! We live in a snow belt area and the FWD did just fine in the winter months. The rear seat entertainment system was enjoyed by children and adults alike. It is nice that those in the rear seat can watch a move and the driver can still play the radio or CD in front. The third row seating allows the entire family to travel in one vehicle. The leg room is cramped for an adult with long legs but average adults to small children are seated comfortably in the third row. There is plenty of room in the back to haul many things when the seats are folded down. We used this vehicle daily to commute to work but also to travel and to haul a pop up camper. It's a great vehicle.

Great value

I bought my 2008 Honda Pilot last year with 147,000 miles. It now has 160,000 miles and the only thing I've had to change is the tires! The engine has decent performance for a vehicle this size. It's great for road trips. I have 3 rows and a factory DVD player. Very happy with this vehicle.

The Best Honda Pilot Ever Made

The 2008 Honda Pilot SE, and all those that came before, were the best Pilots ever manufactured. Hands down reliable, comfortable and for all intents and purposes easy on the budget in terms of maintenance. A tip to all, if you find a clean one with low miles, jump on it!
