Great vehicle wife loves it

The 3rd row seating was the selling point for me but also it is a Honda which I bought and trust we needed the extra room

Great suv but console could be better.

Great suv in terms of comfort and performance only downside for me is I've had older cars with more amenities (ex. Nav. Back up camera premium sound etc.)

Comfortable SUV

It has been awhile since I have owned a Honda and I must say I do see why people like them. The Pilot is easy to drive and the layout of the vehicle is well thought out. Nice and roomy especially since it has the 3rd Row Seat option. Who ever owned it prior took very good care of it and I plan to do the same.

liked how it handeled and how much room it has.

I like how this car can seat 8. Also that it is a 4wdr. I also like how I sit up high and is easy to see out of. It feels like a sturdy safe family car.

Great all around vehicle

The Honda Pilot is a great car for the everyday family. It's a great commuter car as it gets decent miles per gallon. It seats 8 people although it should probably only seat 7 more comfortably. If you are not using the back row then there is plenty of storage space. If you have to use the back row for seating then your storage space is very limited. The option to fold down half of the seat is a great option. The 4WD option is kinda fake as it doesn't have true 4WD capability, it's only if you get in a sticky situation then you might be able to get out when it is activated. The vehicle needed more cup holders as there are only 2 for the front seat. The roof rack was great quality. The AC worked. I would go back to the Pilot.

Most reliable SUV out there

My wife & I have owned this Pilot for about 5 years now. Bought it from a Honda dealership as a CPO vehicle. We've put about 60k miles on it, and with regular maintenance, have never experienced any significant issues. The 6 disc cd changer is clunky, but other than that, the Pilot does the job carting around our two boys. Almost certainly going to keep it another year or two, and then trade-in for another Pilot.
