Reliable, Economical, Comfortable and Roomy

Very comfortable, roomy and economical. Meets all of our needs as a family. I enjoy driving it daily and look forward to taking road trips in it. My main complaints currently are the bluetooth is laggy(it is a 2013 tho), I confuse passenger temperature knob for the radio knob, and the auto air defaults to fresh air. I prefer recirculation. All very minor and personal preferences.

Have a paint problem on top above windshield.

Except from the paint peeling on the front top of th car and the braking problem the car has met my requirements. This car is less than 5 years old. The only complaint is the driver side plastic frame is broken with less than 100,000 miles.

A massive new vehicle for a growing family.

We bought the car for our now family of 4 because our old vehicle was too small. The pilot sets 8, comfortably, there is still room for storage with all those passengers. We love this vehicle and will never own anything but a Honda again.

Reliable and spacious SUV - excellent value!

We bought this car brand new and have enjoyed it for the past 5 years. We no longer need the car but, otherwise, there are no problems with the car. The 2013 Honda Pilot LX is an excellent SUV - very spacious, comfortable to drive, super reliable and handles the Chicago weather. Would readily buy this car again.

Nice family SUV

Little to no problems with the Pilot. I have well over 100,000 miles on it. There is not much leg room in the second row, and little to none in the 3rd, was great when my boys were little, but a little crowded now. I would buy a Honda again, if it wasn't for the terrible service of the dealership.

Best car I have ever owned.

The cargo space is the best I have seen. The passenger compartment is comfortable and roomy. This car has been the easiest to maintain and operate of all cars I have owned.

Lots of room

Love the room and 3rd row of seats. Would expect the EX-L to have navigation but mine does not. Phone integration not great either. Like the heated seats.

Typical Honda Quality & Reliability

My Honda Pilot has been a great vehicle. Completely reliable and comfortable to drive both as a daily commuter as well as on long road trips. I drove this car to Chicago from Phoenix and back. Great drive. I would easily buy another one.

Best car we've owned!

We wanted something with room and a third row seat, but not a full size van or suburban. The Pilot is great - very roomy in the 2nd row and enough space in the 3rd for kids. Honda reliability - looks and runs great. navigation and entertainment system an extra bonus!
