The body style is great looking. Handles great!

This vehicle has 3rd row seating. There is lots of room for everyone to be comfortable. It is a very comfortable ride! Would buy this kind of vehicle again.

Super reliable and very spacious!

Plenty of room for kids! And I love the look of it! It has been a great vehicle for my family of four. I would highly recommend this SUV.

We've only owned it one day, but so far we love it

This is the third Honda we've purchased and this one will probably last the rest of our lives. Honda's run forever with very little maintenance required.

I love Hondas

This is the second Honda Pilot we bought. These cars are so dependable. From daily trips to work, and kids practices to driving on the sand in the OBX and dirt roads in the Finger Lakes, these cars provide comfort and dependability. My teenage girls have plenty of room to spread out, and they love the stereo sound after connecting their Bluetooth. I feel secure in this vehicle, and it is so easy to drive, it feels like a car. It is very smooth on corners and has good pick up. I love this Honda, and I can count on it to get my family and I where we need to go, and do it safely.

Best car we have ever owned!

We have owned many different models of cars and this by far is THE best! We have had many issues with other models but this car has never given us any issue and we have driven it thousands of miles. We usually trade in after a few years, but we will never get rid of this. Fits many, comfortable, great gas and reliable.

Love the reliability and ease of use of all Hondas

Very comfortable. Great for towing a utility trailer. Rides very quiet. 3rd row is tight but great for extra gear and children. Roomy enough middle row of seats.

Honda is a perfect blend of function and style!

The Honda Pilot is well built, comfortable, but not overly complexed. I've owned 6 Honda cars over the past 20 years. In my opinion, they are perfect combination style and function.

Has been a dependable care for wife ands grandkids

I love it, we have 130000 plus miles and would not hesitate to take it on a long trip. We have just returned from a trip of around 1200 miles with no problems. The interior is leather and has not deteriorated any since purchased new in 2012. Loving this Honda!

Single Owner; Never broke down

Loved this vehicle, I bought the vehicle new, and I never had a single issue with it in the over 5 year I owned it. I changed the oil, bought new tires, rotated the tires, changed filters, etc. as needed, and it just ran like it was brand new. It still has a 6 year/100,000 mile warranty on it, which is good for another 11,000 miles or approx. 11 months.
