Honda Pilot Change Vehicle

"Easy to handle. Holds the road very well. Acceleration is not the best with the V6."

"Not enough power, but the ride is very comfortable. It handles well in the snow."

"Good handling rides smooth"

"Road noise"

"It handles very well."

"The breaking feel is real soft feels like you have to push break peddle just about to floor, no stiff resistance feel to the break petal"

"Acceleration is great and handling is unbelievable!"

"I enjoy driving it on the hiway. It is a pleasure to drive."

"The acceleration in highway passing conditions is marginal. other routing situations it is acceptable for such a large car."

"Excellerates well for a SUV"

"I am very impressed how responsive it is when accelerating, and also when driving in the mountains"

"It drives just fine, I have not problems at all with handling or acceleration."

"Acceleration is poor from 0-60 average from 30-60. handling is mediocre due to size of vehicle."

"Well its an suv so it handles like a truck which it is built to do"

"Poor acceleration Handling ok"

"Honda has an excellent safety record. The height & weight of this SUV are reassuring. I do wish there was more “road feel‿ with the steering. The brakes are soft - pedal going far down towards the floor boards. However despite the above preferences, the vehicle is steady & stable in sudden stops."

"Good in the snow and all around nice handling. Has all the power that we need."

"Acceleration is somewhat sluggish unless gas pedal is almost floored. The Variable Cylinder Deactivation system (for improved mileage) is terrible. It cuts in too soon, causing the engine to labor, and is very noticeable as it activates and deactivates."

"confident driving in heavy traffic because good vision around vehicle and ample acceleration."

"Drives fine."

"Brakes could be stronger. Everything else is quite good."

"This vehicle is awesome. The best vehicle I’ve ever had. Just wish MPG was higher."

"Absolutely terrible braking at highway speeds. Otherwise it is a great car."

"solid feel to the steering, stable at all speeds; for an SUV it's pretty forgiving on the curves"

"Average acceleration and braking, soft ride, good AWD"

"Big engine is poor with gas mileage but does accelerate well."

"The ride is comfortable for long trips, but the road noise is a bit on the loud side. The only other complaint is the eco mode tends to make it feel like the engine is underpowered and slow to respond and the transmission hunts for the proper gear. Its not unbearable at all but could definitely need some refinement."

"Good turning radius and easily handles towing within the vehicle limits."

"Excellent turn radius. Good acceleration. Great high speed stability. Responsive brakes, even at high speeds."

"amazing acceleration for its size."

"Very good"

"It's pretty much problem free and does what you want it to do. I will say the Pilot has those breaks that initially feel like you hit an air pocket or pillow in normal driving before they grab."

"Acceleration has always been sluggish. Vehicle does not downshift appropriately since new, so probably just bad design. Somewhat jerky."

"excellent performance for size>"

"A little underpowered . . . could have more horsepower."

"Acceleration is not as good as the 2009 Pilot we previously owned"

"Comfortable smooth and has all great features for long distance driving"

"acceleration is a little sluggish"

"Slow acceleration for the size engine. Handles wonderfully though."

"The Pilot has a nice ride, but the acceleration is slow. That is important when you are trying to merge into traffic."

"Pilot handles very well, especially for such a large vehicle. Superb on wet roads."

"very good handling, road noise is load"

"poor rear/side rear vision"

"Uneven acceleration when shifting in and out of Eco mode."

"Under powered"

"The Pilot drives almost as good as it was the day we bought it with regards to ride, handling and no noises."

"I sometimes pull a boat (2500 lbs.) and the Pilot still gets about 18 mph."

"Good acceleration"

"Quick acceleration and handles well for a large car."

"It drives like a truck, acceleration is ok, but braking distance is long enough I'm considering trading it just based on that factor alone."

"Good acceleration when you need it. Handles very well, but brakes are a bit touchy. Rather have brakes that work too well, than not at all. :P"

"Comfortable seats first and second row"

"Very comfortable ride."

"High road noise. Stiff ride."

"Very roomy and comfortable. It's great for long road trips. Plenty of cargo space and room for 5."

"Super comfortable seats across all three rows, and surprising low wind noise."

"Rides like a boat. there are a number of squeaks and rattles after 5 years"

"Both great"

"Seats a little hard"

"Seats sort of pinch my bottom"

"Seats are leather and are extremely comfortable as well as provide great support. Ride is smooth, takes bumps well and holds the road very well. Road noise can be a little loud at times."

"Seat are very confortable and the specious interior of this vehicle makes it great for long drives."

"Very comfortable 'family' car."

"The driver's seat is very good but the passenger seat is a tad too narrow. The ride and noise are very good."

"Seating is comfortable but road noise is a bit hgh on extended trip."

"Smooth, solid feeling vehicle."

"road noise is bad"

"We constantly are amazed at how nice of a ride we get in the vehicle."

"Very comfortable for an SUV."

"The ride itself is a bit noisy and I don't like where the cup holders are placed not convenient."

"Very comfortable seats and ride. The only issue is the power reclining feature. The seat frame connection to the seat back is weak and has been serviced several times."

"Touring edition has held up very well and remains a comfortable riding experience"

"The heated seats are amazing and so comfortable. I have chronic back pain but can drive for hours in my Pilot with the lumbar support and heated front seats."

"Needs some insulation to lower road noise!"

"it rides like a truck."

"I have made several 8-12 hour road trips and I am very happy with the seats. Road noise is more than I would like, but it is an SUV. The ride is smooth for such a big, heavy vehicle."

"I indicated that I wasn't TOTALLY satisfied in this area, but the source of my satisfaction level does not lie with the vehicle itself, but with the replacement tires that I put on it. They result in a harder ride and more road noise. With my low usage it would not be financially wise to replac them again anytime soon."

"The seats are very adjustable, including height adjustments under the legs. Lumbar support also is excellent and can be adjust. Most comfortable, smooth riding vehicle for long trips - no driver fatigue after a full day on the highway."

"Good seat comfort and pretty good outside visibility."

"wind noise is loud handling and ride are very good"

"Very hard leather seats, uncomfortable on a long trip."

"The cheap morons didn't include an automatic drivers seat adjustment when you change drivers even on the EX-L model. Seats are very comfortable after manual adjustments."

"Too much road noise."

"Very roomy vehicle with three rows of seats. Lots of storage room, legroom and headroom."

"Very comfortable seating and good ergonomics. A lot of road noise"

"The noise has always bothered me. It is very noisy and it is the only thing I have not been happy with."

"Good lumbar support in drivers seat."

"We've owned several Hondas over the years, and it seems there was a period of time that their vehicles had a tremendous problem with road noise. The Pilot has an exceptional issue - especially with highway road noise."

"After 6 years and 123,000 km, the driver`s seat has lost much of its support. My previous car was a 1997 GMC Suburban SLT. After 15 years and 385,000 km, the driver's seat was still very firm and comfortable..."

"Loud road noise at highway speeds. Ride is bouncy and jarring... not very comfortable. Seats are comfortable"

"Comfort, room, adaptability, dependability"

"A little top heavy and some pronounced road noise"

"This car does not ride particularly well. More like a truck."

"My Pilot is fully equipped. I found only after delivery, that a heated steering wheel was not included, nor available. The leather on the driver's seat does not extend down the right side of the cushion. Very cheap feeling."

"quiet ride, leather seats are comfortable even on long trips"

"Leather seats with heaters feel great all year."

"I owned a 2004 pilot it had a lot of road noise, where the 2012 has very little road noise. The ride also has improved a lot."

"high seating position. good lumbar support on driver's seat. ample room for children and their gear."

"Cabin noise seems too much for this suv. I like it quiet!"

"Smooth ride and responsive handling."

"Comfortable seats and reasonably comfortable ride, but there is too much road noise."

"slightly anoying modest yet noticeable wind noise, sounds like a window is barely open"

"The transmission or cylinder management system on this vehicle makes it run rough at certain speeds - 40 - 45 and 60-70 most notably. That makes it have some annoying vibrations that I've learned to live with, but for a nearly $40,000 vehicle should not exist."

"Interior Noise level / tire noise too high."

"Excessive road noise Very rough ride on uneven surface"

"Seats have a great range of adjustability, perfect for my 5'[2" frame. AC/heating vents allow for easy change in direction and volume."

"The leather seats are wide and comfortable"

"The accelerator seems to be a bit too far to the right. If I am in a travel situation that requires constant acceleration (rather than smooth traffic that allows for cruise control), I end up with right knee pain. I have noticed that my leg is unable to be perfectly straight. I have no history of knee pain nor events that may contribute to the pain that does occur during travel."

"Very comfortable on long trips."

"The only thing about the Honda that I don't like is the road noise."

"This vehicle is advertisez as an 8 passenger car. The real capacity is 6. The middle place on the second ant third rows are narrow and realy uncomfortable, even for a child. The floor of the luggage compartment is not flat. We regularly have items roling out when we open the back door."

"The seats are very comfortable and easily adjustable. The ride of the Pilot is almost as good as it was the day we bought it with regards to ride, handling and no noises."

"I am very satisfied with the comfort. The air conditioner works great for the hot weather. My friends drive for me some and always comment it is a pleasure to drive. The car is very comfortable for long trips. I am planning to drive the car for many more years."

"Seats are great - comfortable and adjustable. Ride is good. Hear a lot of road noise. Don't like climate control vents - can't adjust direction to point to myself without it blowing in my face. (My 2002 Honda CRV was good at this,)"

"Love the heated seats in the winter time. Very quiet and smooth ride"

"The road noise is loud, and if the windows are down, there is an uncomfortably loud thumping sound created by the tires. Very irritating, but we just leave the windows up."

"The Pilot has several poorly fitted pieces. There are several areas where poor fit causes rattles. The USB connection stopped working."

"the front bucket seats are very comfortable. They are very supportive even driving long distances. Ride is great. Climate control is right on target when in AUTO and is easy to use when not in AUTO. A little noisy at highway speeds."

"Somewhat noisy at highway speeds. Type tires may be part of the problem."

"My only wish is that the driver's seat would tilt forward a little more so I could have it back more but tilted down. It cuts off circulation in my legs on long drives"

"The seats are very uncomfortable for adult passengers in the front passenger side and back seats. Trips over six hours are brutal."

"More road noise than I would like"

"Road noise is too loud."

"Seats are very comfortable and has numerous setting to insure comfort. Quiet rise but a little truck like in ride."

"Noise level could be improved"

"The Pilot is built for a man not a woman. Also, the seats, especially the passenger and rear seats are very uncomfortable. It is a "utility" car for sure, not for comfort. Also the seat heaters are horrible either burning or cold."

"Road noise is a little worse than I had hoped for."

"Excellent value for the price paid. Great engineering value."

"Excellent value for money. Completely reliable. Zero issues in 5 years of ownership."

"Very dependable. We've had it 5 years and still going strong. Plan to keep it for at least 10 years."

"It is a well built, well thought out design, requires minimal maintenance, and is very reliable."

"Most versatile, reliable eight passenger suv I have driven"

"Great price for a specious, confortable and great fuel economy"

"Doesn't break down. Maintenance other than scheduled is minimal"

"Great value and takes regular gas."

"Excellent vehicle for long trips."

"Excellent value and very dependable. Could have paid much more and gotten less."

"The Pilot is a great SUV for the price. I got all the features I wanted and a large SUV without having to go to the huge SUVs and save money on gas. It is 6 years old, never had a problem with it and it still looks new inside and out. This car was purchased primarily to transport 3 German Shepherds in crates from my house to training and back. It gets muddy and not treated with kid gloves and still feels like I just drove it of the lot."

"EX-L RES vehicle comes with lots of upgrades built in the price. 3rd row is included in all Pilots which is why I traded in my last vehicle for this."

"Has proven to be a reliable, low cost vehicle."

"Excellent value for an SUV - has been trouble free."

"Purchased a 2012 EX model at beginning at 2013 model year. Brand new vehicle at a great close-out price. Older style square body has lots of interior space."

"engine problem, 3 pistons re-worked but w/extended warranty. bluetooth phone link has not worked."

"Very good"

"The car fulfills all of our driving needs excelling in long trips and is excellent in snow and icy conditions."

"In short, there are few if any problems, it runs like a tank, it has large cargo space with the back seat down, YET you can park it in a compact parking place, it rides like a car and for an SUV it handles extremely well. Although not opulent it has the necessary bells and whistles."

"This vehicle had almost all the options I wanted and the price was within my range."

"Eight passengers was a key factor when we chose this vehicle. We wanted this capability for occasional hauling extended family or a bunch of kids, without jumping up to a larger, more expensive purchase price, and less economical class of SUV. The functionality, flexibility, reliability have all contributed to our sense of an overall great value in the purchase of the Honda Pilot."

"great for family road trips"

"Great value for the $ although I would like vehicles to be a little less. Would be nice if better gas mileage. Love the Honda steering and handling."

"Not much deal @ internet"

"Except for the chipping paint on the doors, it has been a good SUV at a good price."

"For a 4-year-old vehicle, it was pretty pricey at $29k relative to the Durango my husband bought. i'm assuming the reliability will be good, because the 'bells and whistles' factor is not really comparable though I bought the 'Touring' model"

"Excellent value for the price"

"Excellent engineering , quality and performance for the price. Best SUV we have ever owned!"

"Very good traction and control on slick roads. Good for getting to work on snowy days."

"After having a baby, I needed an SUV. The Honda Pilot is a perfect choice, its not too large, but enough room inside to change a diaper if needed. Lots of different configurations possible in the back."
