Definitely Reliable

I love this vehicle. This is a superior family car. Good fuel economy, Honda is always consistent with their design and sensibility. The back of camera could have been designed better and the eco could transition from the 3 to 6 cylinders a little smoother.

Mostly good.

This car has been very reliable except for a few little issues. The biggest issue is that the piston rings began leaking and the engine began burning up to a quart of oil every thousand miles. Apparently it is a common issue.

Yes she needs some minor work that we can't afford now, but for the most part this is our GOLDEE LOXZ and we just LOVE HER. THANK YOU HONDA FOR MAKING HER. Karen PERCH-MCFARLANE, FL.

Having a reliable car is rewarding

Favorite car that we have ever owned!

We love everything about our Pilot! It is roomy and great for road trips. Comfortable. Good gas mileage for an SUV. Versatile. Good for small towing jobs as well. We love the seat heaters and third row seating and our daughter loves the dvd player. I've already recommended Pilots to other people.

Brutal SUV

If you like big 3 row seats SUV Honda Pilot is great choice. Aggressive exterior and 6 cylinder engine make you feel confident on any road.
