NOTHING But HONDA!

As our favorite dealership, Hendrick Honda, knows, we strayed from Honda a few years ago, leasing an expensive luxury car, but I came back remorsefully. I will admit that it was the biggest mistake I've made in vehicles in the last 20 years! We've had CRVs, Pilots, Ridgelines, and even an Element and a Passport. Many years ago, I had one of the early Honda models that was about the size of a thimble and it was one of the most reliable cars I ever had, and wish I still had it. Now I have the comfort, the convenience, the "bells and whistles" and real quality that I need and want. There's no need for us to try any other automobile, because experience has taught us you can't beat Honda!

Honda Is Always Quality Driven

We looked for several months before we located our new Pilot at Jack O Diamonds. It has the equipment that we wanted, at a fair price, and as always, it`s a Honda

A big disappointment

The 2017 Touring is our 2nd Pilot and has been a big disappointment. The underpowered engine has a tough time accelerating into traffic and the 9-speed transmission hard-shifts instead of a smooth and seamless shift, jerking passengers in the car around. There is an embarrassing and annoying rattle in the left front that the dealership can?t seem to figure out and another one coming from the steering. I feel like an idiot having paid what I did for this tin can of a car.

Only owned a week but very pleased so far

The ride of is smooth and everything is so easy to use. Comfortable seats and plenty of room. Three kids fit great in the third row to my surprise. Very happy with this purchase.

Check out the Pilot

The 2017 Pilot is like a computer on wheels. I went from a 2012 Malibu to the pilot. The Malibu doesn't even have a backup camera. This pilot have back up cameras with different views, blind spot cameras, break assist, lane assist, crash warning, android auto and a ton of other things that will take me a year to figure out. There is the room of a minivan in the pilot, but the functionality of an SUV. It has a quiet and comfortable ride, plenty of power with the V6, and backed by the reliability of Honda.

Love my Pilot!!

I previously owned a 2015 Pilot, but I?m loving my 2017 even more!! I was hesitant because I wasn?t in love with the new body style, but I?m glad I upgraded! The redesign allows for more space inside! I have two car seats, one forward and one rear facing, and my passenger has more leg room now! I also like the redesign of the center console. Rides great, fuel efficient and looks great! I highly recommend this vehicle.

I really love this SUV

This is a great SUV. I have had a Lexus GX460, and I like this much better. Great ride, very quiet, and pretty peppy for a mid sized SUV.

LOVE driving this SUV!!

I absolutely love this SUV! It has plenty of space when I take out my grandchildren; but I?m 50 and single, so it?s great for when I?m out with my sisters or take my Mastiff to the park! I feel incredibly safe and sporty all at the same time!! It?s roomy, spacious, and comfortable while being stylish and sexy! I was looking to replace my 4door Accord, but when my friend suggested a Pilot, I was totally against it, until I saw it...then drove it! It was a wonderful surprise.
