2013 Honda Pilot consumer reviews

I love the back up camera and the gas mileage putting the seats down is very easy and the hydaulic back hatch is nice

Am very pleased with my new Pilot. The interior space had to be wide enough to haul my work; not too large as in full size SUVs; get decent gas mileage; comfort in driving; secure feel while driving and that looks good. I could not be more pleased. Having traded in an auto with a larger hemi engine, I've had to adjust to what the Pilot's engine is capable of, but that was to be expected. I really love the Pilot.

The Honda Pilot is the most car that I have owned for the money. It is easy to drive and I love the room for 8.

I have always owned Mercedes and Cadillac thinking the features and comfort had to be better since they were considerably more expensive. I was totally mistaken. The comfort and features in my new Honda Pilot surpassed both in every category. I took it on a long trip to break it in and the seats were the most comfortable seats I have ever been not to mention it was incredibly quiet! Wonderful Car.

I recently (June 2013) got a Honda Pilot Touring from Mark and Andre at Auto Nation Honda in Sanford , it was by far the best buying experience. It was stress free, everyone at the dealership is friendly and professional and Mark kept his word with the agreed upon amount, no games, no gimmicks. I live about an hour away and it was certainly worth the trip over. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in wanting a Honda.

Real nice suv .rides smooth .took a trip to mountains it got 22.5 mpg ...............................................................................................................................................

The Pilot of roomy and spacious. 3rd row seating is great for kids but, ok for adults Would be great if 3rd row could recline!!. Performance feels a little under. Acceleration and power can be improved. overall styling is very good but can be improved. Kind of generic in some respects. Needs some better lines on the exterior. Honda reliability is impeccable. Value is good for a 3rd row SUV. Needs some additional features in EX-L such as memory seats. Panoramic moon roof would be nice.

We researched both 2013 vehicles thoroughly and while the Toyota Highlander had a better paper presentation, the test drive of the Honda Pilot easily proved superior on a feel of quality construction. We own an older Toyota which we are very happy with but the 2013 has lost that quality appeal. The packaged Pilot trim level features also seemed to fit what we wanted better. We cannot yet accurately rate reliability or performance but assume these to be average as meeting expectations. Also felt the price on both brands was a little high but comparable to each other.

After my Acadia's transmission died while on my way to dropping off my three kids, I realized I needed a reliable car. I looked at the Toyota Highlander, Toyota Forerunner, and the Honda Pilot. I must say I went with the Pilot Ex-L, I thought it beat the Highlander and the Forerunner in both style, price and features. With leather and sun-roof, more cargo room, and a usable third row (eight passengers!!!), I paid $4000 less than I would have for the Highlander and $6000 less than the Forerunner. The 2013 is a redesign, and Honda really listened to what people want in terms of a usable and substantial third row; the 2011 I looked at a couple of years ago had a flimsy third row and less cargo space, two very important features for a mom of three. The Pilot has way more cargo room than the other third row SUVs; when you lift the floor in the back, the cargo space is deeper and allows for plenty more room. Also, the third row seats are substantially more comfortable and usable than the Toyota SUVs. The Acadia was comparable. With three kids plus friends and family, I need all the usable space I can get, as well as the ability to SEPARATE my kids so they don't harass each other as easily. As far as the style, I absolutely LOVE the boxy exterior, it looks rugged and less like a minivan than the Toyotas or even the Acadia and the Traverse. It reminds me of a Jeep Patriot, and seems more SUV than crossover. I love the interior storage space, there are plenty of ledges and places to put your phone, sunglasses, mints, gum, wipes, snacks, etc. And the style of the speedometer and fuel gauge, etc has a retro look, which is very appealing to me. It reminded me of the BMW Mini-Cooper when it first came out. Finally, the ride is smooth, I wouldn't say it is the quietest ride, and not the peppiest car, but it does have more pep that the Acadia. And the ECO feature allows you to save on gas mileage if you use it correctly. I am still learning how to do that. Overall I really think the Honda Pilot can't be beat for reliability, features, style and cost.

Car is nice . It rides hard and not as comfortable as my Tahoe was(Which was replaced by this car). There is a lot of plastic inside giving it a cheaper appearance. It is quiet. Giving me 22 MPG.
