2007 Honda Pilot Review: The Best 2007 Mid-Size SUV for the Price

Gilbert Smith
Apr 4, 2023

The 2007 Honda Pilot is in the running for best mid-size SUV in this model year. The Toyota Highlander does some things better, but it doesn’t do them two-thousand-dollars better. Reliable, comfortable, and easier to handle than most mid-sizes, the 2007 Pilot remains a sought-after daily-driver to this day.

Front angle medium view.
likeFilled The Good
A perfect synthesis of wagon, SUV, and minivan, the 2007 Pilot is practical, fun, nimble, and comfortable.
dislikeFilled The Bad
The Pilot is a dedicated city-driver. Off-road performance is modest at best, and you can forget doing any real towing.

Is the 2007 Honda Pilot a Good Used Car?

  • Overall Rating 8/10 – If it’s not the best mid-size SUV released in 2007, it’s at least the best for the price.
  • Interior, Comfort & Cargo 8/10 – Interior space is surprisingly generous for such a nimble SUV.
  • Reliability 8/10 – The 2007 Pilot has fewer than 200 complaints on file with the NHTSA. Major repairs are few and far between, and basic maintenance is dirt cheap.
  • Safety 8/10 – Anti-lock brakes and traction control come standard, and the SUV earned a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
  • Gas Mileage 8/10 – The Highlander gets a couple extra miles to the gallon, but at the expense of around thirty horsepower.
  • Value 9/10 – Simply one of the best deals on the market today.

Vehicle is very dependable and reliable and I am very satisfied with it.
I've had this vehicle for two years and the only issue I've had is the starter which was easy fix, no other problems nor issues just yet, I get my oil changed when I am suppose to, I may not get the entire tune up completed due to finances but up keep on oil and tires I make sure to complete.

This vehicle can handle a variety of situations.
It's big and spacious. It pretty great on gas for its size, and it needs minimal maintenance. It's a very nice family car with a large trunk space and extra seating if needed. It can be used for light towing. It can definitely take a little abuse.

Love it. No complaints about it. High and stable enough especially in the snow.
Never had and issue with it. Very comfortable and good in gas. Love the GPS screen and able to add my satellite radio. No Bluetooth to radio. A lot of space in the second seat but no the third one. Can fit 8 people easily and the ac filter needs to be changed regularly.

This car is perfect for singles and families of all sizes.
I love my car. I have owned this car since 2007 and it is absolutely perfect. It has an entertainment system for the kids, great speakers too. The operation of this vehicle is smooth. Gas does not drain too quick. 4 wheel drive. Good for short and long distance drives. It's also got a third row of seats and big trunk. It's wonderful.

Best for parents with small family. Also good for families who like to travel.

Honda pilot has numerous things to offer!
I like my Honda pilot. It comes with a third seat for extra people. The third seat also lays down so I can easily haul things that wouldn't fit into a regular size car. My pilot has a sunroof that lets me open to feel the warmth of the sunshine on nice days. All of the windows are large so I don't have to worry about having any blind spots.

accountCircle Mackenzie R
Good overall performance and capability, falls short on small details.
The wheel is heavy and more difficult to turn than most other cars I have driven. The buttons on the console have very little shape/texture variation, so it is very hard to be able to push the correct button without taking your eyes off the road. This car can hold a surprisingly large amount of people or luggage which is very nice especially for a car that is not really huge. I wish it had more/better air vents for the back seats. It takes a long time for the back of the car to be able to warm up or cool down.
accountCircle Hope C
Bad city miles, bad a/c, ok gas mileage, and 3 row seat bonus
Car runs fine. I rated 3 stars because yes I like my car, but it takes a good bit of gas for city. The plus side is the car comes with 3 row seats and heated front seats. The negative side is I have had issues with the a/c mode not being able to change.
accountCircle Tanya F
It works for me and it is totally paid for. I feel safe in it because it is of good size.
I like it because it handles well in snow and there is plenty of space in the first two rows. I dislike that there is no leg room in the very back and I also dislike the gas mileage that I get.

What Do Critics Say About the 2007 Honda Pilot?

Consumer Reports found the 2007 Honda Pilot to be an excellent blend of SUV, minivan, and wagon design concepts. They praised the SUV’s comfortable ride and quick acceleration, they liked the versatile, intuitive interior, and they found the fuel economy impressive for a midsize SUV.

Kelley Blue Book users give the 2007 Pilot a close-to-perfect 95% recommendation, with special praise for the SUV’s longevity and spacious, comfortable interior. One driver reports hauling everything from firewood to construction materials in the Pilot with no problems.

Edmunds praised the comfortable, spacious interior, with seating for eight that folds flat for big cargo jobs. They praised the car’s handling and acceleration, as well. They were less impressed by the car’s middling towing capacity and merely-adequate entertainment features.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Honda Pilot Have?

The 2007 Pilot has generated just 190 complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Around one in four of these complaints are for airbag issues with drivers reporting failure to deploy. The last few of these reports were registered after seven airbag recalls were issued.

With 19 reports on file, electrical complaints take a distant second place behind airbags. The main issue here is problems with the low beam headlights failing out of nowhere. The high beams still function in these instances, but the low beams will completely fail due to a problem with the wiring harness.

There are 14 complaints on file for vehicle speed control, with drivers reporting power surges or sudden loss of power while in motion. A 2019 recall addressed accelerator pedals getting stuck in position, but it is unclear whether this covers every one of these complaints.

The 2007 Pilot has 9 recalls on file, which sounds a bit high, but 7 of these are for airbags, and there have only been three airbag complaints since the last one went into effect. All told, the Pilot’s NHTSA numbers are remarkably low for a vehicle from this model year.

How Long Will the 2007 Honda Pilot Last?

The Honda Pilot, being a Honda, can easily last more than 300,000 miles with excellent care. But, in a used model, expect to reach a top mileage of 250,000 before the really expensive repairs pile up, and that’s if you can find one in good condition and you never skip an oil change.

Repairpal estimate an annual maintenance cost of around $410, with the most expensive common repair being a new airbag occupant sensor, starting at around $994.

accountCircle Laurel B

It is incredibly reliable. During our travels, my husband and I had occasion to use the 4 wheel drive and the system never failed us. We have not had any problems with the vehicle in general since we got it.

accountCircle Dana S

It is very reliable. I have not had any issues with it. No problems yet. I would say that these are very good and reliable vehicles.

accountCircle Molly Z

I have had it for 3 months now and has been very reliable for me with upkeep in maintenance. It does not have any problems at this time.

accountCircle Lori C

It has been a very reliable vehicle with no real problems, just have to do normal maintenance and all is good.

accountCircle Melonie C

I have put over 200,000 miles on it and the only services that I have had to do are routine maintenance. Totally reliable. Has systems in place that let me know if anything needs be looked at. I have loved this car!

accountCircle Ron L

It is very reliable and nothing out of the ordinary ware. Had to change oil and lights on a regular basis.

accountCircle Sheryl T

The pilot is a very reliable car. I really have had no serious problems with this car. It is a great family car.

accountCircle Anna B

The Pilot has a strong engine, and excellent pickup. The only issue I have identified is a faulty A/C Compressor, which can be a costly repair, but is necessary to have during the summer months. I have maintained oil changes and brake work on the car, so I have not experienced any problems otherwise.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology in the 2007 Honda Pilot is good for the model year. CD players are standard, and higher trim levels come with disc changers and a few extra speakers. The SUV is available with a DVD player in the back, but good luck finding one on the used market.

Safety technology is pretty good for the model year, too. You won’t find newer features like rearview cameras and lane keep assist, but anti-lock brakes and traction control are standard.

Is the 2007 Honda Pilot a Good Value?

The 2007 Honda Pilot is a very good value. The SUV is priced fairly, with entry-level models typically listing at around $5,660, and the high-end EX-L at around $7,306. These prices are roughly average for a mid-size SUV of this age. It’s the low cost of ownership makes this a great deal.

If you buy a Pilot with 150,000 miles on the odometer, you have a good chance of putting another 100,000 on the transmission before you have to make any major repairs. Add low maintenance costs to class-leading fuel economy and you’re ultimately spending less than you would on a cheaper, but less reliable SUV.

What are the Different Models of the 2007 Honda Pilot?

The 2007 Pilot is offered in just three trims, from the base LX to the high-end EX-L. All three models are available in rear or four wheel drive, so in total you’ve got six Pilots to choose from.

The base LX model includes:

  • CD player with
  • 4 speakers Cloth seating
  • Remote keyless entry
  • Manual air conditioning
  • Anti-lock brakes and traction control
  • Cruise control

In the mid-range EX you’re getting all that, plus:

  • 8-way power driver seat
  • Fog lights
  • Automatic air conditioning
  • 3 extra speakers
  • Driver lumbar support
  • 6-disc CD changer

Finally, the top-of-the-line EX-L adds:

  • Heated front seats
  • Leather seating
  • Power sliding/tilting sunroof
  • Heated mirrors

What Engines Come In the 2007 Honda Pilot?

  • The 2007 Honda Pilot comes packed with a 3.5L V6 engine delivering 244 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque. The V6 is paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission and configured in front or four wheel drive. It averages 18/24 miles to the gallon, city/highway.

What Colors Does the 2007 Honda Pilot Come In?

How Comfortable Is the 2007 Honda Pilot?

The 2007 Pilot is very comfortable, with the back seat stretching 56 inches across, the seating being nice and firm, and the suspension holding up well over the years with few complaints on file. The SUV is advertised to seat 8 people, and it lives up to the promise.

How Much Storage Space Does the 2007 Honda Pilot Have?

The 2007 Honda Pilot packs 16 cubic feet of cargo in the back, and you can fold the seats down for up to 87 cubic feet of storage space. That’s enough for pretty much anything you could reasonably want to carry, including light-duty furniture hauls and refrigerators.

Inside the cabin you’ll find plenty of pockets, slots, and cup holders. While iPhones weren’t really a thing yet at this point in time, the car does include slots for cell phones. Whether your phone will fit, you won’t know until you try. If not, you’ve got a handy pen holder.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The 2007 Honda Pilot was the second to last of the nameplate’s 1st Generation, running from 2003 to 2008.

2004: The biggest changes for 2004 were adjustable second rows and heated side mirrors.

2005: Stability control and tire pressure monitoring were made standard features for 2005, and the steering was overhauled.

2006: A facelift year for the Pilot, 2006 saw the SUV getting a new front end with bolder headlights and grilles. The EX-L model got an automatic sunroof in 2006, too.

2007: No big changes for 2007, though Honda added Nimbus Gray Metallic, Dark Cherry Pearl, and Formal Black exterior color options.

2008: There were no major changes for the final year of the Pilot’s 1st Generation.

2009: The 2nd Generation Pilot was 2.9 inches longer than the previous model, steering received an overhaul for sharper cornering, and new features included rear sound systems and HondaSensing lane-keep assist.

How Does the 2007 Honda Pilot Compare to the Competition?

The Toyota Highlander was arguably the best mid-size SUV of this era. It’s a little cushier and a little more fuel-efficient than the Honda Pilot, but it’s not nearly as powerful, and it typically lists for a couple thousand dollars more than a comparable Honda.

A 2007 Ford Escape is usually a reliable alternative to the Honda Pilot, listing in the same price range, but 2007 wasn’t a great year for the SUV, with lots of transmission problems and potential for early breakdown.

The Honda Pilot is a contender for best 2007 SUV overall, and it’s the hands-down winner for best SUV for the price.

My old Honda Pilot-ready for a new one
The car has been great, but it is super old, so problems are starting and it is rusting. We have never had to do any major repairs until recently which is pretty good!

Extremely reliable! Handles very well and is spacious!
Very comfortable. Spacious. It's a heavy vehicle so brakes wear out faster than some other vehicles. Very reliable. Never had major issues.

This car is extremely reliable if you take care of it.
I like the size and the way that it drives like a car. It's been really reliable. Since we bought it used and it's an older vehicle it doesn't have the newer tech which would be nice.

It is a fantastic vehicle and is definitely low maintenance.
I mostly love my Pilot. It's spacious and reliable. I wish it got better gas mileage though.
