2017 Honda Pilot

My wife loves it. When she is happy, I am happy! It meets our needs and the price was within our budget! This is our first and most likely not our last Honda purchase.

I love Honda and love my Pilot

This car is fun to drive and has a lot of new technology feature that I enjoy, like CarPlay. Its roomy with a 3rd row. I traded in my Odyssey that I also enjoyed but the Pilot put the fun back in driving!

Very nice SUV

Bought this to replace a 2012 Pilot. Very nice redesign and better safety features similar to my TLX. Looking forward to enjoying this vehicle for a long time.

I love my Honda. I have owned a Honda since 1987!

My Pilot is perfect for traveling with another couple. We have plenty of luggage room and plenty of room for all of us. It is very reliable as well and gets great gas mileage.

New to us.

Really like the Honda Pilot Elite. This thing is loaded. No issues so far. Have only had it a couple days. But we love all of the features. Very comfortable and quiet. Looks good too.

Best SUV I've owned!

The Honda Pilot All Wheel Drive Elite has surpassed my expectations. The gas pedal is VERY responsive, although a BMW v8 can beat it (slightly) you will feel the power behind this beast of an SUV. The torque is amazing. The styling is awesome inside with the leather seats, moon and sun roof, rear controls for the AC and radio..., 110V plug behind the front console, subwoofers on each row, tweeters in the front and back, center speaker and there's just too much to tell, automatic everythin... the only thing I did not have that could've made it stand out was folding mirrors and side cameras but that comes on probably the Limited Silver edition or something...who's complaining! I love this vehicle, the kids were love at first site and it's really the all around, all around SUV and for a responsive engine, very good gas mileage! It only seats 7 but the first two rows are super comfortable, third row is a little tight but seats down and you have gobs of storage space. Nicest SUV I've ever owned.

Love my Pilot

dependable...smooth ride. Drove it to Texas and back and enjoyed every minute. loved the hands free feature and the cruise control was perfect on those long stretches of highway.

comfortable but transmission is jerky

I've owned this car for about a month . The ride is comfortable but the transmission is clunky . At @ 22 mph the shifts feel like you hit the brakes , it is even worse in ECON mode . My 2004 Pilot had a transmission that shifted seamlessly . The service department told me this is normal . I don't know if I'll keep it very long .

Great Family Car - Safe and Reiable

Can't beat a Honda Pilot combing safety, reliability with a good looking and very family functional vehicle. Add tow hitch for bike rack and the kids love the DVD entertainment system.
