Most reliable car I have ever owned

After driving the Pilot, i realised It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 28.8 mpg. If you're looking for a new SUV in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive.

Honda Cars Are the Way to Go!!

My Pilot is just right for me since I'm retired and like to travel. And it's great for taking my great kids here and there and gives them a lot of room to move around in. I love all the safety features and the added features on the dash and screen. I love my Pilot!

I don't have a new Honda pilot. Hope I win!!!!

If I had a Honda pilot, I would be happy to write a sensible and serious review. However, since I have never owned any type of Honda, I don't know why I appeared on the reviews list. But, hey, I am a good sport and I can make up something. I'll bet this is a fine vehicle which meets all of my needs and looks AWESOME.

Best for the money.

Honda did a great job with the latest Pilot. I feel like I am in a Luxury brand. Big enough, quiet ride, decent gas mileage and all the latest safety technology.

Great value

We just bought this vehicle about 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it. We test drove other SUVs in this class and the Honda Pilot was the clear winner. It has a lot of features for the price and insulates road noise very well. The lane assist and adaptive cruise control work very well. It feels very luxurious and feels more like an Acura than a Honda. The entertainment systems is easy to control and Android car play works well and is easy to use. The only thing I can complain about so far is that it is not super powerful. I think they reduced the engine size from previous years. Our old Pilot had more get up and go.

Best Value in an SUV

After checking with Consumer Reports and test driving the top recommended SUVs we were impressed with the styling, cargo capacity, headroom and space of the Honda Pilot. The technology incorporated into the Pilot was a big selling point. It also happens to be a great looking SUV!

So far, an amazing value car

I tested a number of 3 row cars with 2nd row captains chairs. Most were not spacious enough to be usable/comfortable. It was down to the Buick Enclave, VW Atlas and the Honda Pilot. The Pilot ended up winning based n the features and value. They really made a great family car. Maybe not luxurious, but practical and then some. From all of the lane assist and USB sockets to the blue light-up cup holders, trunk compartment and adjustable arm rests, this car was built to be used. My only gripe is that the space between the two captains chairs in the second row is a hump/table that is hard to squeeze between and step over to get in the back row. The 2nd row chairs are designed to slide/flip forward so you don't have to though.

Smoothest ride and great tech for safety

The pilot rides very smooth. Lots of great tech on the inside for safety and entertainment. I would highly recommend this car to anyone. Great price too.
