2021 Honda Pilot consumer reviews

Semi replaced my 2011 Odyssey (kept it for a spare car since it’s still running great with over 200k miles). This was a great transition. Interior is very simple yet has everything I was looking for in a new vehicle. The recent facelift of the Pilot looks good and I got the special edition which added to the appearance.

I was shopping for a vehicle for the entire family. I have a wife and five kids. Therefore I was in need of a spacious but yet compact vehicle that my wife and my teenagers were able to drive too at a glance I was not to thrill for it but when my whole family stated how spacious it was, well it started growing on me. I drove from Brownsville, TX to El Paso, TX and let me tell you it was smooth and very comfortable plus it was very economical on gas. Great overall car.

The car I now have just completed me others tell me the dash is really fascinating and I found a mp3 player with some of my music downloads.The color is great.

This is the third Honda Pilot we have owned. Overall, the car drives and handles well. It feels heavier than our 2007 Pilot, and it seems like you have to press down on the gas pedal more to get it going. Pick up is good however. Inside is nicely apportioned, comfortable leather seats. Lots of technology to get used to. The constant switching back and forth from Driver 1 to Driver 2 is annoying. The mirrors seem to have a mind of their own and are never in position for either driver. Couple of gotchas. . . the mid-range Pilots come without a navigation system or Rails. The sales guy will tell you that you can can connect your iphone/android directly which you can. Down side is that if you can't get phone service your SOL. Rails, used to come standard; now they're optional, the cheap option is decorative not functional; The higher end option requires both the rails & the cross bars (both extra). Bottom line, they've cut out a big chunk of function, you need to check if the price you're seeing or getting corresponds with a missing nav system & functional rails. The one annoying item is the eco/idle thing. When you hit a full stop, the engine idles down . . . when you start back up it shudders when it comes to full power. I personally don't like it. .. can't think it helps engine life going on & off like that. If you want to continue with normal idle at a stop, you have to keep a light foot on the break. Sales, guy said there's a way to turn it off, but you have to do it every time you get in the car. These new cars have a lot of alerts, guides (lane assist), etc. . they vary by car & they're not all easily or possible to turn off. Make sure you read up on the features & options of all the new tech. .. and whether you can disable it . . .on any of the new cars coming out. Other item is the ZAZ GPS app. . .looks somewhat dodgy. Check reviews of the app & it's functionality. . I think the dealers get a kickback if you sign up to use it. Other than that. . the car is quiet, solid, rides well. Should last a long time if taken care of.

We are so happy we purchased this car. We are excited to test it on a long distance trip. Our buying experience was great and would recommend to others.

I love this car. First thing I noticed about it is how easy it makes U turns. So tight and quick, the handling is amazing being I’ve owned a couple SUVs and they all seem the same. But the Pilot really stood out. Now the body style seems a bit outdated but I really enjoy this vehicle. The Tourning Trim has everything my family needs. I was really hoping for wireless phone charging but I’ll take Wi-Fi hotspot and be happy lol. The 8” screen is bright and seems like it was built to last. All the safety features really add convenience to the driving experience. I look forward to having this vehicle in the family for the next 10 years

With this car you have 3 rows of seats, AWD, towing ability, everything you would expect from an SUV but with all the comforts and bells and whistles of a luxury vehicle. It is an extremely smooth riding vehicle.

This car meets all my needs. I wish it had a heated steering well. Great value for you money. Very smooth ride . Lots of safety features.

The vehicle met all my needs. I have four children and I needed all this space it has. I got two car seats and a wheelchair everything fits great. Just what I wanted.

In general, the car has plenty of room in between seats, also added up some new good features, but performance wise it is not as good as it was in terms of having the driving pleasure.
