2013 Honda Pilot

My wife and I are very pleased with our Pilot purchase. It was between the traverse, CX9 and pilot. Between standard options, price and reliability it was a no brainer. The only downfall is the interior styling, outdated and very plasticity feel.

Great SUV

Couple weeks ago I purchased a 2013 pilot EX-L 4WD. The only reason I went with Honda is because of their known reliability but I was quite surprised at how this vehicle performed when I took it across the country. After putting more than 3600 miles on it, I have only good things to say about the car. It is very smooth on the road and handles great in any weather conditions. Pilot is not going to WOW you with it looks, it could use some exterior re-design but it is very practical 8-seater that will provide you and your family with a great reliable and a comfy ride.

Best alternative to a minivan for comparable cost

As a family that has 3 kids and needs the 3rd row, this car has everything we need. Extremely comfortable, great standard features, super roomy and at the right price. Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a 3rd row SUV.

Great SUV

The pilot is well designed and extremely comfortable. After comparing to all others in its class I felt the Pilot is the best value for the money. My only negative comment is that I fell it may be a little underpowered thus affecting the gas mileage.

Great 4x4

I just purchased a 2013 honda pilot EX-L, cars.com's price was excellent. The pilot is the most comfortable and best handling SUV I have owned. I will always use them for any car purchase i make in the future.

Fun to drive

This Pilot has the power to take mountains in stride, is comfortable for long drives, and sometimes it seems to drive itself. It's the best car that I've ever driven in over fifty years of driving. I bought mine because a friend had just bought one, and she loved it. I'm SO glad that I did. It has lots of room, and the back-up camera is absolutely FANTASTIC.

good car

It is a good car and it is very smooth to drive and for a 8 seater car the price is perfect and the size is easy to handle and the fuel ecnomy is very good.it uses 11.1 litre petrol for 100 km.
