I love everything about my Honda Pilot!!

This car is so roomy, comfortable, sporty looking, and my kids and I are in "heaven" with all of the USB ports and drink holders. We love the indoor shade things on the back windows for the kids while traveling, the voice-activated phone system so I don't have to touch my phone, the sunroof with a cover, the camera system while backing up, plenty of power, the blind-spot notification, and the nice comfortable ride.

Roomy, comfortable family vehicle

Very smooth ride, extremely spacious, even with third seat up, i can fit baby stroller plus have room left for small luggage. Test drove the Highlander as well, which we found had a better looking interior, but didn’t feel as roomy. At the end, Honda gave us a much better deal. Looking forward for many years as it sees our family grow. Second row had enough space for 2 car seats and for an adult comfortably. The performance is OK, not a quick take off by any means, but average, once it’s going on Highway speed, is very quiet, sometimes i found driving s little faster than i thought it was. Gave 5 stars in reliability because i couldn’t leave it blank, but vehicle is new, so i couldn’t rate reliability yet

Big feel; great power

Test drive others, but liked the bigger engine and more interior space of the Pilot. Very new - only 140 miles. Went with the AWD SE for look, foot activated tailgate and roof rails.

New vehicle-very impressive

We were looking for a larger vehicle than our current one. The Pilot is just right, actually drives as a smaller SUV. Quiet and smooth.

Test drive the Pilot and was sold.

This vehicle simply is a gem. From the moment I test drove it, I knew it was the vehicle for me.. I wanted something with room and the Honda name behind it.. the ride is smooth and it feels like I’m the pilot of a Lear jet

Most reliable car I've owned.

The Honda Pilot is very roomy and has great space for hauling whatever i need to haul. It is safe and I enjoy driving it wherever I need to go. It is nice looking and I love the silver color.

Our first NEW car in over 40 years!

We replaced a 2007 Pilot and love the new and improved 2021 version! Lots of things to learn but feel very safe and comfortable! We are very happy with our purchase. The color, steele sapphire, is beautiful!
