We've had no major problems in 10 years!

We love this car. We've kept it for a second car now that we've purchased a new CR-V. We've found Honda vehicles to be extremely reliable.

Love this car! Reliable and spacious w/ 3rd row!

This car is great for a family on the go- lots of space to haul extra kids or (in our case) sports equipment. Not the greatest on gas but reliable and spacious and comfortable.

Very Reliable and Will Last Forever

I have owned this car for about 8 years now and it has been one of the best running cars I have ever owned. We just keep up on the recommended maintenance and we have never had any issues with it.

Love the space!

We needed a car (in a budget) with a 3rd row seat. This Honda Pilot met all the criteria. I love that we have an option for 6 car seat placements (being foster parents, this is important for versatility at a moment's notice.) Smooth amd comfortable ride!

Excellent Car for Reliability

This car is a beast in the snow (with the right tires). My tires of choice was the Miclelin Defenders LTX. I was able to drive on unplowed highways without a problem. I had no problems commuting back and forth through the Pennsylvanian mountains in last winter's Northeastern snow storms. For the cold winters, both the driver and front passenger seats have toasty Lo/Hi heated seat settings. The rear seats are not heated. I currently have free oil changes from the Honda dealer (for the life of the car ) so records are available. The vehicle does NOT use/leak any oil.

Over 200,000 miles and still kicking it

Bought it used with 8,000 miles back in 2009. Now has over 200,000 miles. Interior has not torn or faded and we have kids and do a lot of sports. It handles well and has been very reliable.

Best car I?ve owned

This car is everything I?ve been looking for. 4wd 3rd row but still a v6. It?s roomy an the seats go every which way for more leg room. It?s a great family car couldn?t be more pleased. I would highly recommend it. Its all around a good car absolutely love it...
