Awesome used SUV

Purchased used (10yrs old) and the car is immaculate, runs like new and has all the essential features of a newer vehicle. I am a huge fan of the Pilot, it’s roomy with just enough power and style to fit my needs. Excellent car.

v-tech engine is excellent

This is a large SUV vehicle but even with a 6 cylinder engine will tow my trailer or jet-ski effortlessly. Seats 8 people comfortably on trips. Never used the back seat video

Love this car

This car meets all of my needs. Versatility, also, very good price range for the value. Minimal- if any problems. This is the second one I have purchased, used and will definitely buy another when this one retires.

The 2011 Pilot is a safe vehicle and fun to drive!

This SUV is in pristine condition, both inside and out. I enjoy driving it. There are some great extras that came with the Pilot including Sirius radio and Weather Tech mats. I like that there’s seating for eight.

Reliable car

My Honda Pilot is very reliable and rarely needs any work, only the regular maintenance. The only problem I have with it is the Emission light turned on and does not go away. This makes the car not pass emissions but other than that, everything is great.

Most reliable car I have ever owned

Excellent vehicle, very comfortable with a lot of leg room. I would recommend the Honda Pilot as a very nice reliable suv to purchase for your family.

Good, but LX plain seats

Bought this in 2015, with 20K in excellent condition (garaged at home and work). 75K miles on it today. Total repairs and replacements: tires, one wheel bearing, battery, wiper blades, air and cabin air filters, fluids, oil and filter changes. Since I run cars up to 200K, this daily driver will be getting: new stuts with coils and shocks ( even though the ride is good). This wil help the: handling, comfort, suspension, tires and brakes.

Drives very smooth!

This car, so far, has been great! We have been on a 5 hour trip already and no problems. My teenagers were comfortable, and this is important to me!

Purchased 5/31/2019 @ 103000 Caught fire 7/27/19

So far not all that I thought it would be. I just hope it gets better soon. Alternator caught fire 1000 miles after buying it from Honda World of Louisville. Battery was 5 years old, why did Honda World choose not to replace it while it was on the lot for sale. Learned a lot about the whole experience. I'll never buy a used car if the battery is older then four years because the alternator might have been working overtime for the few months prior to purchase and possibly Honda World could have prevented an alternator from spontaneously combusting.
