Great comfortable looking car

Purchased brand new. So far car is smooth and comfortable. Looks great and sleek and elegant. Nice Bridgestone tires and other high end parts. Butifull leather interior and great info screen

Great Value for the Money

This car exceeds my needs! It has smooth handling, and ease of use with the two back rows. Spacious interior. I have not owned a Honda before, but I don't think I will buy anything else after this purchase!

Very dangerous

on 6 different occasion when no traffic was near the break light started blinking and the steering wheel froze pulling to the right side. Honda said they never heard of that. I had passengers in the car and if the wheel hadn't released we would have been killed. Also the seat warmers didn't work. Honda's response was inappropriate I returned the car before it killed me.

My 2nd consecutive Pilot!

I bought a 2018 Pilot Elite to replace my 2007 Pilot EX (which still runs great at 225,000 miles and has gone to my son's family). My old Pilot was the most reliable car I've owned so the purchasing decision here was a no-brainer. The Elite comes with everything you could possibly want in a car and represents tremendous value for the money. On my first extended road trip, I averaged 29.3 mpg (on Econo mode, which is great for highway driving) at an average speed of roughly 75 mph. To address some criticisms, the responsiveness of the 9-speed transmission is a little sluggish, but I overcame this by adapting my driving style. I find handling to be excellent and don't have any issues with the touch screen. I'm an extremely satisfied owner.

Very smooth

Outstanding vehicle. Great new technology in the camera options and Honda sensing. Our last Honda Pilot logged 150,000 miles without a problem. Highly recommend this car.

Roomy, reliable car for mid to large family.

Like the design in the car and the seating for 8 passengers. Price of the car was good and know that Honda is reliable because I've bought a few Honda's in my life; new and used.

Pilot is roomy and comfortable for seating & cargo

Like all the details put into the car; electronic charging methods, gear's buttons, cover for the Honda logo at the front of the car, added assistance for the driver, love the hidden cargo in the trunk, and more. Some disappointments include not being able to push the side mirrors in electronically, not having the two muffler design, lack of lighting in the trunk area, inside and outside lighting are yellow rather than florescent.
