Love our new Pilot!

Just traded my 06 EX for a 17 EX and wow, love the new design. This car has a better turn radius than our 14 Accord. We would have appreciated the leather and some of the other features on the higher end models, but for the price we paid we feel like we got a lot. We didn't get Honda Sensing, but the Honda Lane Watch is neat. And the technology in this car allows you to plug your phone in and use google maps right from your app, essentially eliminating the need for navigation. Overall, we love our new Pilot and recommend it!

Honda excellence continues

We purchased the 2017 Pilot to replace a 2002 Odyssey that served us very well for 15 years. We are currently driving the Pilot on a road trip across the US and Canada. It is ideal for long distance travel.

I enjoy this SUV

This is Pilot Elite, most expensive Honda. But still have to pay extra for things included in even cheaper Hondas.

Bought New

I purchased a new(2017) Honda pilot ex-l. This car seats 7 adults comfortably. Tons of room. Love the the 8" screen. The apps are easy and uncluttered. The ride is smooth and comfortable. All around fun practical car. If you have a large family or lots of friends you should test drive this car.

Can't beat a Honda

Love the Pilot, Just wish we could remove the 3rd row seats. I do not see the complaints about the 9 Speed Transmission.

The best car I had

It's a great vehicle. We love how it drives how it handles. It's very spacious and most importantly I don't think he 9 speed gear has the problems that a lot people are saying. It just needs same adjustment especially if you drove before a six speed or similar. It's a great car.

2017 Pilot

Although not the best on gas mileage this truck is so comfortable and take bumps and rides like sedan. The only weird thing we have found so far and we both noticed, is that you have to press hard on the accelerator. I know, so what, but my ankle get tired. We have to see if it can be adjusted.

Safe on the road and comfortable

Love it so far. It is comfortable, secure and seems very safe. I love the fact the I have a big screen, where my phone can be plugged in and it shows on the screen. My kids love it since it is very roomy on the back and plenty of outlet to plug their phone, pcs. Love that when I put on the signal my camera comes up I feel so safe and alert!!!

Honda makes reiiable cars.

Honda makes great cars. My Pilot is proving to be excellent!! It's comfortable riding. I love the sound system. It has the smoothest ride of any vehicle I've had. It has plenty of room so I can travel in comfort!
