Honda Pilot Change Vehicle

"Automatic lane control needs improvement"

"Very smooth acceleration, passing effortless. Very easy to handle at highway speeds."

"All is very good. we've done 19,000 miles in last year, and ave 29-30 on the highway/interstate = Excellent"

"Clunky changing gears"

"too many repairs tranlsmission cant find right gear"

"the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance are outstanding together, especially on a CT to FL drive. Infotainment system works better than most with Iphone and Nav is exceptional compared to others"

"Impressed with the power it has for a six cylinder with third row seat size."

"trying to get used to a 2016 handling vs 2003. Very different."

"9 speed transmission is not smooth, especially at low speeds."

"With the vehicle's 9 speed transmission, acceleration from a stop is not good at all. The "auto stop" feature of the engine can be disruptive to daily driving, altho I can turn off that feature."

"Very comfortable ride. Low road noise. Good gas mileage.Plenty of engine power."

"the driving experience is super excellent. The soft, smooth ride feels like an upscale luxury car although mine is the basic trim. The braking experience is solid, without hesitation and so is like the overall experience."

"Bit hesitant on turning from a standing stop."

"it accelerates and handles so smooth. i feel like i am in a lexus or bmw"

"The nine speed transmission is outstanding on its ability to maintain speed on downgrades without a lot of braking,"

"May be the best I have ever had."

"Good fuel economy for size. Recently got 7.8l/100km over 3900km."

"Extremely quiet for an SUV. Very good acceleration, mileage with smooth 9-speed transmission."

"My previous car was an Infiniti. The Pilot seems to be quieter, smoother riding and much more comfortable than the Infiniti. Other than my Lexus LS400 back in the 90s, this is the best car purchase I've made."

"Honda Auto Sensing is outstanding. pulls 4000lb travel trailer with ease. Fantastic 29mpg on highway whithout trailer, summer, on flat Ohio and Indiana Turnpikes. Very comfortable and quite."

"I've never driven a tank before or a house but I think that's what it would feel like when driving new pilot. I've heard others say it drives better then the previous gens. It's hard for me to get use to it since my other car is honda fit. In my small town there are 6 traffic cycles or round a bouts. The fit drives so smoothly, fast, wheel handles curve like a giant bear hug. While the pilot feels awkward, loose, non responsive. If I didn't own fit I may not feel this."

"Overall steering is a bit soft, especially when cornering compared to our previous 2005 Pilot. However, the vehicle tracks well on the freeway and is much quieter."

"Acceleration is good. Handling is soft mushy. Doesn't take corners well. Very disappointed with the handling. Dodge Durangoout performs Honda in handling and performance."

"Wish it had a little more pick up!"

"Lots of power. Will drive itself but don't trust it too. Notify you if you get to close to the fog line . Beeps if car get too close in the other lane.. Slows down automatically if getting too close. Lots of features......"

"CR is very critical of the 9-speed transmission. I have found it in real life to work great and give great gas mileage."

"No trailer hitch. Looks smaller than the previous model 2015. No rear window (open). Outside noise can be easily hear when windows closed.... Thanks"

"This is a 9 speed automatic and sometimes it isn't sure what speed it should be in. I would rather have had the 5 speed."

"with eco on slight lag when starting up. with engine cutoff on...slight lag when starting up handling has some lean when turning or going around a curve..but...for a sedate driver(one driving speed limit)...handling is good...acceleration is good...plenty of "zip" in engine when needed..."

"My only complaint is the quirkiness of the 9 speed automatic transmission."

"Underpowered, very slow initial acceleration making it difficult at times to build up speed to get on a. Highway"

"A big improvement over previous Pilot. More agile and improved acceleration"

"Drives well, acceleration good for this type of vehicle"

"This is the first 6 cylinder vehicle we've had in many years. It's a delight to be able to feel the power it has when in traffic. It handles very well and corners well."

"Excellent driving comfort and gas mileage. I have owned two prior Pilots (2004, 2011). This is by far the quietest one yet. Over 12,000 miles drive so far, I have averaged 25.2 miles/gallon. This is much better than my previous Pilots."

"The Pilot is severely underpowered."

"Outstanding vehicle, extremely comfortable ride, great handling and acceleration."

"9 speed transmission is a disaster. This transmission belongs in an 18 wheel tractor trailer. Shifting is very jerky."

"everything except price"

"I have the 9 speed transmission. It does not always accelerate smoothly from a stop."

"9 speed transmission jerks at low speeds through neighborhood. Bumpy shifting between gears. Unable to permanently shut off Eco system and engine shuts off at every stop unless press button. Extremely frustrating. These two things alone would had I known would have kept me from purchasing the vehicle."

"Adaptive cruise control, lane sensing, and all the other safety features have been much better than I expected."

"I find the handling superior to any car I have owned. The acceleration could be better however, it sufficient enough."

"like the lane assist and also the ways it handles over my older Honda pilot that I traded in"

"Slower acceleration from first to second gear"

"This SUV is roomy and very comfortable to drive. Idrove it from NC to CA and back. It was a great vehicle to hold 2 adults, 2 dogs and all the supplies needed. Gas milage was decent at about 23 mpg"

"exceeds our expectations with regards to the comfort, fit and finish, and controls"

"all good"

"Love the push button drive"

"I think the seat upholstery could be better."

"Stiff and harsh ride. Excessive road noise considering quality and pricing of vehicle."

"Excellent comfort and visibility. Has right side camera for lane changes and backup camera which is excellent with three different views. Noise level is very good."

"Heated and air conditioned Sears are great. Great support"

"ride needs to improve."

"Honda really stepped it up with this redesign. It has a refined ride now not like a truck in days past. It also rides as a lixury SUV. The air conditioning runs well but does not seem to be well situated to cool the front as evening as the back. But it is really a lovely vehicle."

"Climate control complex and lacks fine adjustment for distribution of air"

"The arm rests on the captain chairs is too narrow. The salesman touted them as being "adjustable". You can adjust them, but only one way so if the armrest is high enough to prop your wrist on, your elbow is at a 45 degree angle. My husband and I hate the arms rests and consequently drive with them up most of the time. In effect, we do not have arm rests. The car is WAY TOO NOISY. It's ridiculous. You can't even drive with the sun roof open because then the noise is unbearable. We had Hon"

"The Honda Pilot Touring Elite edition: the climate control is horribly programmed. There is no Max AC feature, so to crank up the cool on a really hot day you have to manually toggle down three settings. Turning on the back seat climate control puts the front seat fan on high. You cannot select both the face vent and the windshield vent at the same time."

"it is a totally different vehicle from the 2013 pilot we had. which is reason we traded for it."

"The seats are not as soft and comfortable as they really should be for the level of this car"

"Shortly after taking possession of the new pilot, we took a ride and activated the heating elements of the two front seats. We both have back problems (mine are severe) and the heat provides a distinctive level of comfort. However, nothing happened. I brought the vehicle in for service and after it was examined, the assistant service direct explained that Honda had not attached a regulated thermostat to control the seat heating capabilities. She went onto explain that there must be a significant"

"AC is not cold enough. Perhaps low on freon."

"The ride quality, especially on broken pavement, was a primary factor in choosing the Honda Pilot over Toyota Highlander."

"Noise much better than 2007 Pilot. Ride also better."

"have driven 12-15 hours 4 times and was never exhausted. Very comfortable to drive long distances"

"Comfortable, quiet, and smooth. Climate control deals well with very hot weather. Comfort for rear seat adult passengers is quite good."

"Seats are very comfortable, but have been unable to resolve noise in the passenger seat whenever the car turns a corner"

"The original transmission only lasted 7000 miles and had to be replaced ."

"This car has the most comfortable seats ever! Even when my back was out I could ride with no pain. Only complaint I have is that as a larger person the driver seat belt is not long enough. Why so much shorter than passenger side?"

"We traveled 3500 miles and the ride was quiet and very comfortable."

"Very roomy interior, and quite, front seats are great. The 2nd row seats are super comfortable and lots of leg room."

"Seats pretty comfortable, best thing is cooled seats"

"Extremely comfortable interior. Handles well for a large vehicle. Excellent ride, quiet interior, lots of room. Versatile interior with tons of space when rear seats are folded down. 3rd row seating is better than in other SUVs with 3rd row seating."

"Very luxurious interior.Smooth driving,very low road noise. Remote trunk lift very convenient."

"AC not impressive, road noise noticeable"

"Black exterior/black leather interior is not a smart or comfortable choice during the hot NC summer. The black leather seats burn bare skin. Bought a cover up so don't burn legs. Seat backs have weird hollow yet spongy feel."

"I've always driven pilots because it provides comfort and support for my back on long distance dtives"

"The driver and passenger seats are not as comfortable for long distance drives as the 2007 Odyssey the Pilot replaced."

"Expected a quieter ride. Seats are comfortable. Acceleration is good. The infotainment system is awful. Not user friendly. All touch screen which can be dangerous when driving.Have to take your eyes off the road to see if you are touching the desired item on the screen. Easier to push a button or turn a knob while driving. Doesn't require you to look at what you are doing while driving- you can feel the controls with buttons and knobs. Also Honda could have made the ride a bit firmer. Ride i"

"The Pilot has tremendous wind tunnel noise with windows down and going over 35mph."

"Excellent seats. I'm 6'3" and the new Honda Pilot seats are so much better than in my 2000 Honda Odyssey."

"Seats are too firm, the ride is too hard, the voice control is horrible. The air conditioning is very good."

"Road noise is less then other Pilots I have owned but more than other cars I have driven"

"Seems Honda is trying to nickel and dime it customers. For my trim level, a EX-L, some things are not standard, needing another package, which costs more. Navigation comes to mind."

"Needed car in a hurry.did not walk away at dealer & come back"

"We purchased Touring trim to make sure we got blind spot sensors. Only upon delivery we realized they were not included. To have a back row DVD and a generous sensor package, but no blind spot safety system makes no sense."

"I wanted a 2016 XL Four Wheel drive. They claimed they could not get one although I waited over four months. They promised many times one was available but it never showed up. So I settled, I like what I got but it wasn't what I wanted. They sales man kept telling I didn't need a 4 wheel drive, maybe so, but that is what I wanted."

"We consistantly experience 26 MPG and have been seeing 28 MPG highway mileage. Acceleration and comfort are excellent."

"Sales experience at dealer and follow up with H Honda was absolutely terrible. Treated like a mark not a valued customer. Like, misrepresent, and cheat. I am no longer a Honda customer for sales or service.Wish I could afford to get rid of that carp car and the bad memories."

"The Genesis was 10-15K cheaper then competing Lexus/Audi/Mercedes"

"Really good value overall, I just wanted to include some of the safety items that came with the Touring without paying for all the items I didn't want."

"a few more additional items should have been included for the price such as driver one and driver two seat and steering adjustments. We could not get a radio with CD player if we got the navigation system. In general more options should have been offered for the price."

"You can't get a better large SUV for the money!"

"I was able to deal on the price from a straight out discount and then deal from a trade in on my vehicle at the price of the discount."

"A lot of money for a vehicle with a very rough suspension. Lowering rear seats is difficult"

"Pilot fills all expectations in a very positive way."

"sticker price is the price we paid...don't know if that's good...Hondas are great vehicles...had 215000 miles on the 2007 crv and sold it to a lady who loves it also"

"like way it looks and is very in style not box looking like older model of the Honda pilot"

"Awful change in style. Went from a SUV to a I'm not sure thelook it wanted."

"looks like a CRV on steroids"

"The body style is great."

"I like the styling of the 2015 Pilot much better. This ones looks like many other SUV's. The 2015 Pilot stood out among others."

"Like the shape, the height of the vehicle, the ease of entering and exiting."

"Good gas mileage. Comfortable ride. Good acceleration."

"out dated"

"Love to new style!"

"completely new look compared to earlier models."

"It's not the most cutting edge and chiseled design as its basically a minivan made to look like a SUV. I love that it has large windows which are easy to see out of, rather than small stylish windows which are hard to see out of."

"Love the look"

"Nice styling, much better looking than the Acura."
