Finally in the Honda family. Couldn't be happier!!

I needed a car that has plenty of interior space for hauling my art to shows around the state. This has plenty of space and is a very comfortable ride. I don't have all the beeps and whistles in my Pilot but I'm just thrilled to be able to plug my iPod right in to the car!

So good so far

I like the roominess of the vehicle. Apple CarPlay is great. However, the touch-screen interface is not that intuitive. The car in eco mode is too sluggish, would recommend not using it unless cruising on the highway.

Troy Dodrer most knowledgeable sales person at Gii

Drove a 2005 Honda Pilot 244,000 miles and loved it every mile. I wanted to buy another Honda Pilot. Do not like the longer, lower to the ground body style. Also a BIG minus is that many safety features (Blind Spot monitoring and others) only available on the top two trims which have a funky 9 speed shift lever. Honda,you need to offer all safety on EXL model. You did away with the EXL Limited trim! Do not like having all that glass on the roof of my car (panoramic window). New Honda Pilot was a disapointment to me.. I bought from a different manufacturer. Troy Doder was a very knowledgeable sales person at Gillman Honda. He knows the Honda products; however the Honda Pilot is not the vehicle I wanted. If I wanted a pick up, Troy knows the Ridgeline. I wanted a Pilot... but not 2018 Pilot.

I love my new car.

Love it. Only complaints are the weird arm rests and I wish Honda would put the rear ac in the ceiling not the console and that the middle seatbelt would come out of the seat and not the ceiling.

Great Car

I recently purchased a 2018 Honda Pilot Elite. I am very happy with the vehicle. The safety features are very impressive, and make freeway driving very easy. Gas mileage thus far has been about 24 mpg, based on a combination of hwy and city driving. I love the heated steering wheel, and passengers have enjoyed the heated front and second road seats this winter.

Awesome ride.

Perfect size for an SUV without being too large. Comfort and looks are amazing. Fun to drive. Bought the elite model and so glad we did. Driving with phone connection is wonderful.
