Great family SUV

We needed a bigger car for our expanding family and this Pilot EX-L just fits the bill. Great amenities and tech in the car and most importantly, my wife really likes it.

Economical compared to the and performance.

We researched and shopped hard for this car. Good gas mileage, plenty of power and performance. Plenty of interior space and efficient design.

Comfortable, stylish, and dependable

Handles like a car, has the room of a van, and built tough like a truck. Lots of room and comfort all packed into this one great vehicle. The electronics not only entertain the kids but also meet the needs of the adults from the driver to the passenger's in the last row of seats.

Your average Honda Product 2013 Pilot EX

This is my second Honda Pilot and about my tenth Honda product. I've never had any major issues with any Honda product and this one is no exception. Loved the original 2003 Pilot, as it was one of the groundbreaking multi-passenger car or van based SUVs of it's time,but after 10 years, it was time to trade in. The 2013 looked bigger, but actually the space inside seemed to only give a little extra space than the 2003. Not the prettiest SUV on the market but it has it's charm, I guess. It's comfortable enough for a 10 hour trip to N. Carolina from northern Pa, giving me no trouble, and got 28 mpg, highway anyway. Usually I averaged 18-19 mpg all around. It has a stumble or hesitation and a grumble sound at low RPMs but nothing that the dealership could diagnose. Can't say anything really bad about the vehicle, but again, there's nothing to really rave about either. It does it's job without complaint. Power is adequate, stereo is below average sound but not horrible. Like I said it does everything with no problems, but no pizzazz. Got a great deal on it too because many people were tired of the looks, and I suppose, were waiting for the re-design.

Honda Pilot 2013 - owner review

Great car in almost all aspects. People complaint about the fact that it looks like a shoe box but the car is wider that most of the SUV, Gas is 19 miles per gallon, I only replaced tires and break pads and disks in 4 years.

Great Size - Great Value

I would love to own one again! Definitely, take a look. You will love this car. Honda runs great deals on 0% interest. We went in for a used pilot and got a brand new one cheaper!
