2013 Honda Pilot consumer reviews

This is my third brand new honda car, and fourth overall. I am fully satisfied with the quality of this new Honda Pilot 2013. Only thing I would say is the material used for the seats as well as the carpet is little cheaper than I expected. Otherwise, good value for the price. Sales person at Hendrick Honda Woodbridge were very quick in getting the deal done.

dealer was very slow about getting my licenses plates to me. it was agreed to have my plates no late than 2 weeks and it took 3 weeks, and that put a hardship on me. if you buy a new car, I would suggest you get your plates within 1 week. we were going to take a trip and crossing the Canada border and they will hold u up for as much as 4 hrs. (not good) we love our Honda pilot, touring series we have hard it 2 months now, and still learning about all the electronics on it.

Why would any automobile manufacturer make a vehicle without an outside temp and compass. Ridiculous. Why are the compartments by the glove box open for all to see and things could fly out if in an accident? I owned a 2007 and I feel Honda has cheapened the 2013. The headrests are too far forward. I should have shopped around more.

I recently traded in five year old fourunner for honda pilot. After testdriving new fourrunner and toyota highlander and pretty much everythingi n this category I settled on the Honda Pilot. It seemed to have more room than the fourrunner and the highlander for a similar price range. I have not been disappointed by the spaciousness and the comfort and layout. The gas mileage however has been disappointing and that is the reason for the four stars. The mileage claimed is average about 18 in the city but I have yet to get more than 15 between city and highway combined. Hopefully it will improve with time.

Initially when i searched online for price, it was out of my budget. So decided to go with Base model KIA Sorento (heard from friends that its cheaper with more features, 10 years basic waranty). When i test drive KIA Sorento 7 seater, the 3rd row is purely for kids, so its really not a 7 seater. 7 Seater KIA is charged little more, plus i wanted back up camera which comes in as a package which costs 2k. All in all it was coming to 26.5k + Tax + DMV => ~30k. Then I wanted to give a try with Nissan and infact Nissan has good name compared to KIA and the real 7 seater was infact was coming little lesser than KIA. Since i reached to Nissan, I visited Honda and test drive Pilot (base model has backup camera + bluetooth) with price negotiated to $27.5k. I visted Toyota which was next to Nissan and Honda dealers. Toyota sales rep was so rude I can say...he asked which car are you looking for, I said Highlander. He asked, will you buy now, I said let me test drive, he said he is busy come tomorrow. I said Thank you very much... Next saturday went to Honda and brought Pilot with onroad price for $31.5k !!!

I have owned a Honda Piolt before and I made the mistake of buying something else. And I was very unhappy with it I will stick to what I know is great ! My Piolt

As always I am completely satisfied with Wayne Thompson in sales.My Pilot was delivered quickly and I am very pleased with my deal.

Two things that I miss in my honda....My mercury mtneer had a keyless entry..i hv locked my keys in my car and i am always looking for my keys in my pocketbook or pocket! I miss the back up beeping to tell me of close cars, objects in my back up path...I hv not figured out the back up diagram and the distance lines! In snowy colorado, the backup camera gets covered w slop easily...not as smooth or comfortable as the mercury but mileage is better.

Peninsula Honda was low key and no pressure treatment...Joe was low key and intersted in making my buying experience almost enjoyable.

This my 3rd Pilot They are great and plenty of room. Gas milage is pretty good so far, better than my 2010 pilot.
