Enjoyable Ride

The 2016 Honda Pilot is really comfortable, quiet, and the side view and rear view camera's are wonderful. My wife loves this vehicle and our 700 mile trip we made was great. Normally, I start fidgeting after 6 -7 hours but we were both comfortable after 8 hours. My wife loves the large flat console for a place to put her purse. That believe it or not was a selling feature for her.

Sheer perfection!!

This car is so beautiful. The seats from and back are comfy! Car drives so smoothly. My main reason for buying this car was its crash test rating.

Love Honda Pilots

This is my third Pilot and have no reason to change brands. I think it has a classy but casual look, it's a comfortable ride and has all the features I like in an SUV. I feel very safe in a Honda Pilot.

Safest car I have ever owned

I upgraded from a 2016 Pilot EXL to a 2017 Elite to get the safe driving features. We love driving this car. Three things I would like changed: 1) I don't like or use the paddle shifter buttons. 2) I don't like the push button shift. I causes me to take my eyes off my surroundings and look down to shift. 3) I think the engine kill switch while stopped should be reversed so that I would have to push it if I wanted to select that function.

Best car I've owned

I love my pilot, it's very roomy and comfortable. One of my favorite features is the touch screen! Extremely stylish on the inside and outside

Great value for a mid-size SUV

With a growing family we were looking for an 8-seater but not necessarily a full-size SUV or minivan. We decided on the 2016 Honda Pilot when they just came out and it has been a great choice so far! With the exception of minor issues with the first run of a new model, we have been quite happy with the purchase. Great ride and handling, tons of space, good fuel mileage for the vehicle size, and just enough technology to feel you're not being left behind.

In a busy SUV segment Honda Pilot excels

In a mid-size SUV segment teaming with choices, the Honda Pilot rises to the top. The Pilot has a bold new style, competent performance from a V6 engine, the latest tech features, and comfortable seating for 8 passengers. This SUV wrote the book on how to succeed in this market segment. The Pilot line offers models ranging from the entry level LX starting around just $32,000 which offers a nice complement of features including alloy wheels and 8 passenger seating and blue tooth connectivity to the top of the line Elite touching $48,000 with every bell and whistle included. With it's bold new style and a plethora of standard features, this vehicle offers something for everyone and competitors will have to pull an Emerill Lugasi and Kick it up a notch to compete.

2016 Honda Pilot - So far so good

Powerful, Intelligent, well behaved. Has been using the vehicle for 16 months and have not seen any issues. The only thing missing from the interior styling was wood trim, apart from that the car interior and exterior is perfect looking.

Great Car!

I love this car very much! We got it in September of 2015 and we have had absolutely no problems with it. I love the Serius XM radio and the audio system. Great touch screen display. Hondas last forever so I believe we will have this car for a good many years. I totally recommend this car. Great for kids. Easy access to the 3rd row. Just go and buy it!
