Functional vehicle

This Pilot rides a bit like a truck in comparison to my Highlander. It does not seem to have good initial pick up. Although there are many great advantages to this vehicle, I miss the ease of drivability of the Highlander I owned. I am annoyed at a squeak with the suspension on uneven roads. Interior space is outstanding and the car has convenient features like dual temp controls. Heated front seats, etc. The exterior and interior of the vehicle are well done and attractive.

had it for a month now

like the interior & exterior design. Nice lines, great functionality. Lots & lots of ways to program the operating system, so many it's kinda confusing. Don't know if this is a flaw or not, but there is a feature that can turn off the engine when you come to a dead stop. I have it programmed to not do that, but it does it anyway. Have a button on the console that overrides? the shutoff, but you have to remember to press it everytime you start the vehicle. Good sound deadening, inside is what i consider quieter than average. Really can't rate reliability since have only had it 1 month

Fourth Honda Vehicle Owned

Car design, interior and exterior very nice. Ride and comfort excellent. Visibility out of vehicle good. Nice to drive. Will probably purchase another Honda from this dealership when needed.

Great SUV

The Honda Pilot is a great vehicle and is great for the kids. A nice sturdy vehicle that is reliable like a Honda should be.

Never thought I'd love an SUV

I dreaded finding a bigger car to accommodate 3 car seats for our growing family but now I can't believe I didn't get it sooner. The 2018 Honda Pilot is very spacious and handles amazingly for it's size. We are looking forward to more road trips now that there's plenty of room for everyone and everything in such a comfortable vehicle.

Mid sized suv

Nice quiet Suv. Plenty of room inside for our family. We took it on a long trip shortly after the purchase, and we were impressed with the gas mileage.

Not a bad SUV

It is a pretty good vehicle with alright gas mileage. The comfort is great, but the Bluetooth is glitchy and the phone never just starts the call without me doing something to get it on the speakers. I will keep it for now, but if something comes along, I will def take a look at it.

Value car

I think it is a reasonably priced, highly rated and safe car. A value car with third row seating. My 2006 has 187k miles on it. It was relatively inexpensive to purchase as well as to maintain, so I just purchased a new 2018.
