Great family SUV-a lil bit more power would help.

The 2013 Honda Pilot is a very practical family ride. We travel quite a bit on weekend trips of 5+ hours and really enjoy the comfortable ride! The touring model offers lots of options including the entertainment system, sun shades, towing package, navigation, roof rack-just to name a few that we use quite a bit. Pros: great bang for your buck, plenty of storage space, low maintenance costs, comfortable ride. Cons: a little underpowered-especially when towing a trailer, VCM isn?t the best, stock front rotors warp quickly.

GREAT Family Car

Awesome family car. Has all the space, storage, accessories you need. Great clean look! The gas millage isn't so great, and the power is on the lower end. Functionality, comfort, and reliability is a 5 star!

My favorite car ever!

This is my second Honda Pilot. My first was a 2013 Touring. We were hit on the expressway by someone who jad fallen asleep at the wheel going 85 mph with the cruise control on. I was alone with 2 children and a dog. No one was injured in the least. The Pilot took the full impact and barely showed damage. In the end the interior frame had crumpled and the car was totaled, but there was no doubt that I would be getting another Pilot. I now have a 2015 Touring and it is amazing.

So happy with my Pilot!

I just purchased my 3rd Pilot after having been in an accident. I was hit by a very large utility truck on a snowy road and my car was totaled, however my passenger and I were not injured. I feel very safe in Pilots, they handle well in snow and I love the interior room/storage and 3rd row of seats. Plus, their resale value is great.

Best SUV yet

This car seats 8! It is easy to access the rear and 3rd row seating. The seats are nice and flat making it easier to accommodate multiple car seats!!! It may seem a little bigger however it drives like your average size SUV! I LOVE it and so do my grandchildren!!!
