As our kids got a little older, we replaced our 2006 Honda Odyssey with the 2011 Honda Pilot EX-L to get out of the minivan driver's club. It took a little while to get used to a truck feel but she has been the best vehicle we have owned hands down. We have 156,000+ miles on the truck and with regular maintenance runs like it did the day we bought it. This truck has gotten us through tough hurricanes, blizzards, flooding, challenging and precarious road conditions and most importantly has never died on us. Make sure you do the major maintenance work, timing belt, water pump, differential service, etc. If you do this you will be a happy owner.

Honda pilots are supposed to be reliable. They promised me that nothing was wrong with it. The car broke down the next day. I have never been scammed like this before.

The pilot was very nice and roomy. Runs really well. Seats are comfortable. Has a lot of great features like navigation, power seats and dual heating. I recommend getting this vehicle.

Pros: Gas filler on driver's side. 6 CD changer. Rear window opens independent of lift gate. Gear shift isn't (quite) on the center console. Emergency brake is on the floor. (not on the center console) Very comfortable. A lot of amenities. Cons: Rear view mirror is a little low. If you're over six foot, you'll do a lot of ducking to see on coming traffic to your right. Wind shield is a bit too slanted making the A-posts a little too far forward, which also blocks your view left and right just a tad at intersections and such. Center console could have been designed better. Why hide cup holders??? and why are they so low??? a lot of small storage compartments instead of at least one larger one. Odometers, temp, and door ajar, indicator is a small LCD screen behind the steering wheel. There's a big LED screen on the dash they could have used!! Don't understand that one at all. Didn't really want a back up camera. The picture is in the rear view mirror which is more intuitive but still not as good as turning around and looking with your own eyes. And a sun/moon roof is always useless. (Why put a hole in a perfectly good roof?) The CD player and climate controls take a little getting used to. Especially when some buttons have indicator lights on them and others have an indicator on the LED screen. Taking your eyes off the road even longer to look twice- once for the button and then up to the screen to see what's being done. For all the design faults, it was still the best of what's out there. Yes, other SUVs were even worse. I would definitely recommend a Honda Pilot. Big enough for most uses, just be aware of its short comings. --- This site mandates a rating for value for money. Well, that depends on what you paid, doesn't it. This site mandates a primary use for the car. The choices are awful. "Day to day driving" would have been my choice. I don't "commute", I'm not "transporting family", Not "off roading". I may tow a small boat from time to time but its not the primary use. So I was left with "having fun". Horrible choices.

Handles well, I can see all around. Comfortable and spacious. Best of all, it starts every morning. I've owned 3 Honda Accords before this and I loved them, too.

Love my Pilot, the only thing I wish was different was that the passenger front seat had a little more room. I have a toddler and his car seat comes close to back seat and his feet seem a little squished. so if there was little more room in the front you could move the seat up more to give him more room in the back.

Great room and good control on the road Lots of leg room Very good in snow or rain Just not the greatest for gas mileage

I love my new Honda. It has everything I was looking for in a new used vehicle. Love the moonroof & heated seats. The console has a 12v outlet, USB port, & an AUX outlet. And the stick is mounted higher (up on the dash), which gets it out of the way & provides ample room between the front seats for drinks, phones, wallets, sunglasses, etc. Love all the storage space. And I love the third-row seating.

This thing is bigger inside then outside. You can fit just about anything in this truck. Truly a work horse with a really good resale value and it’s a Honda. It keeps on going and going and going.
