My Pilot is just the right size for a family of 6 Adults! Now that my children are now adults, we needed a car to hold the 4 of us, plus their 2 friends. Its still small enough for me to drive around town, but large enough to take only one car when we all go out. I'm on my 2nd Pilot, and I love it!
I have put 500 miles on my brand new 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L and I am very happy with my purchase. I chose the Pilot because I needed a larger vehicle to accommodate my newly expanded family and did not want to buy a minivan. I am able to fit 2 infant car seats and 5 adults (driver included). The EX-L came with a backup camera, power lift gate, tri-zone AC, moon roof, XM radio, bluetooth and iPod input. I recommend the Pilot if you need to move lots of people and don't want a minivan.
Roomy, full of options and Honda quality what more can you ask for? Maybe a few more MPGs. Fuel economy is the only negative thing I can say about this SUV. I loved this SUV from the moment I test drove it. I highly recommend it.
The mechanical performance of this Honda Pilot has been outstanding. The only deficit of this automobile is road noise. If this problem could be eliminated, this would be as close to perfect as an SUV could be. At 104,000 miles,it was time to have the timing belt, brakes, drive belts and water pump replaced so I decided to trade for another automobile.
2011 Pilot
We love this vehicle. It drives very smoothly especially on the highway. The only thing we wish is that the gearshift was not located where it is, but otherwise it is roomy, comfortable, and it even tows pretty well.Great Honda SUV
Pros: Great Ride and useful size, especially inside space
Cons: Needs a little more power
Excellent SUV for family or those that need the extra space without the extra size! Could use a little more power and mileage is about 20 MPG in or out of town. Every need feature expect sun roof which wasn't available in 04. I have owned several Honda's this one has been great from the start!Pros: quality
Cons: noice
Good car; I have it since 2004; never had problems except routine oil change, replaced battery once, and replaced tires.
