Reliable, Comfortable car

Very nice commuter and family vehicle. Interior, while plain compared to other vehicles, is very comfortable on long trips. Engine is very responsive and the mechanical parts have been very reliable. Gets good gas mileage on highway for vehicles of this class. (Around 24 mpg)

I've owned four Pilots. All were excellent!

Fantastic all around SUV, for the family, soccer team, touring, pulling a trailer, and even for hunting camp!

Greatest car I have owned

This car exceeds my expectations. It has great legroom, great for a big family, tv for the kids, Bluetooth accessible, backup cam, sunroof and heated seats. This was my dream car I have always wanted and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Safest, most reliable car Ive ever had

I love how smooth it drives, how safe I feel with all the kids I have in it and how reliable it is. Nothing but the best with Honda.

Great for large families

We recently purchased a used Pilot EX-L to accommodate our growing family. We love the extra space in the Pilot. However, the entertainment center leaves a lot to wonder. Also, we have experience the backup camera being very unrealiable. Overall, the Pilot I just okay.

Great vehicles. Dependable, reliable and built to last. My 2005 has 200,000 miles with no problems. Honda is the way to go

Very good family SUV

Perfect family SUV. Plenty of cargo space. Interior material and style is not luxury, but it serves the purpose. Not impressed with ECO mode, will probably disable it going forward.

Best Family Vehicle you can own.

This Honda Pilot is a great vehicle, it is a very safe car, and gets great highway mileage. The interior is very well laid out, the rear seats fold up and down easily to get room for 8. When the rear seats are laid down there is great room to pack all your family essentials and wants for a drive away vacation.
