Extremely reliable with reasonable fuel milage for

The car meets our requirements for travel, passenger and cargo capacity, performance, fuel economy and dependability. There are tradeoffs between cargo and passeanger capacity, i.e. less of one equals more of the other. But, unlike sedans, we have the capacity for tradeoffs! I have wanted an SUV for years, but the initial cost and operating expense were prohibitive. Honda has resolved that with the Pilot. Two things I would change. First, a dash that includes a 280 degree sweep speedometer and tachometer. I do like the digital speedometer and would include that with the full sweep instruments. The other recommendation is adjustable pedals. They were previously available on the Odyssey so Honda has the ability. The problem is, my five foot two inch bride is unable to adjust the driver seat and steering wheel in relation to the pedals for optimum safety and comfort.

Equally as reliable as the other Honda's I have ow

Comfortable and roomy, providing all the required creature comforts. Of major importance is room for our three grandchildren. I enjoy the economy, value and safety the vehicle provides. Not to be forgotten is the exceptional performance of a SUV with a 3.5 liter engine! I plan to buy another Honda Pilot when the time comes.

My favorite car

It is the perfect size for a big family yet not a minivan. The comfort of the vehicle is great. Love the way it drives, smoothly. Love all the bells and whistle in it.

A Great Family vehicle

As a mom, i didn't want the typical mom van, so the pilot is amazing. I can seat 8 people and still have room for luggage or groceries in the back. Plenty of leg room. Cools & heats fast. Charging stations in every row. The Pilot Definitely makes road trips a lot bearable because of how spacious it is and convenient all the amenities are.
