My 2nd Pilot.

I bought my 1st Pilot 7 days after Honda introduced it. I drove it 310000 miles, then gave it to my nephew. It's still on the road. This 2016 is far superior to my 2003. The new styling is great and the AWD (which was a must) is fantastic.

Great SUV

Purchased the Honda Pilot Touring Elite last year (2016). I am very satisfied with the style & comfort of this car. This car comes with a lot of features & is really great when going on out of town trips. Our new Pilot has already been to Bandon, OR and some shorter out of town trips. The car comes with leather seats & is very roomy. Love our new Honda Pilot Touring Elite.

Best SUV . They don't make them like they used to

Today's SUV's are turning out to be mini vans. The 2016 Pilot is truly an SUV. I have been trying to find a replacement, however, keep reminding myself that this vehicle fits my needs.

Love this SUV!!!

I bought this SUV new after having a 2012 Honda Pilot. I love the space offered without feeling like I'm driving a tank. I can fit whatever I need with ease. The seats are easy to fold flat for whatever my cargo needs may be. The third row is easy to access for my children. Even with the third row seats up, there is a fair amount of cargo space. This vehicle is comfortable to drive and reliable. So happy to have another Honda Pilot!!

all around best car for a family

this car gives you the amount of seats as a mini van but in a nice sleek SUV! I have it in pearl white with tan leather interior and AWD and would never want a different make and model of any car. All around the best car you can get

Most practical for any person.

Great fuel efficiency and very comfortable ride, perfect for long road trips. Very easy to handle in snow and tough terrain with good traction control and all wheel drive.

Very enjoyable ride!

We recently purchased our vehicle prior to a cross- country trip to Colorado. The Pilot drove like a car and really made for an enjoyable ride. Our family of 5 had ample room, including the 3rd row seat. We averaged 22-23 mpg with a car top carrier. My only want would be for Honda to equip the Pilot with 360 degree cameras, or at least add a camera to the driver's side mirror. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great power, looks, space, comfort & amenities

Best medium size SUV in the market period. Excellent powertrain. After reading reviews we decided for the EX-L because of the transmission... The engine/transmission combo is silk smooth... interior feels luxurious...
