2010 Honda Pilot Review: Unreliable Year With Serious Engine Problems

Alex Showalter

Sep 6, 2022

The 2010 Honda Pilot only lasts around 200,000 miles with some serious engine and steering issues. At $10,135 to $12,601, it’s too much money for an SUV with so many mechanical problems.

The Good

The suspension is smooth, there’s plenty of room for passengers in all three rows and the V6 offers good power.

The Bad

The steering has a disconnected feeling, it can’t tow much weight, and braking distances are long.

Is the 2010 Honda Pilot a Good Used SUV?

No, 2010 is a bad year for the Honda Pilot, receiving a poor overall rating of 6/10. Owner reviews complain about issues with the engine, high ownership costs, and worn-out interiors.
Interior scores are average at 7/10. A lot of the cloth and leather options feel cheaper than other SUVs, and the stereo system is basic.
Reliability ratings are bad at 6/10. Pilot models from 2009-2010 both have a lot of engine issues, with improvements for 2011–2015.
Performance is okay from the standard V6 engine, but the towing capacity is not as good as some other SUVs.
The Pilot is a safe SUV, earning an overall 5-star rating in government crash tests, getting 5-stars in all impact tests, and a 4-star rating in the rollover risk.
Fuel economy is average for a midsize SUV at around 19 MPG, which should get owners about 399 miles of range out of the 21 gallon gas tank. Fuel costs are $30 higher than average at $265 per month

Positive Owner Reviews

Suzanne S

Honda pilot is exceptional.

My Honda pilot has over 170k miles and is still going strong! I love the safety and security of the car as well as the performance. I have had very few problems with the vehicle and it even survived a high impact crash. I would definitely consider buying the same make and model again.

Jenna R

I like how it is easy to drive. It has the 3rd row seats and works for my family of 5. I do with though it had an easier access to the 3rd row seating.

It can fit 3 car seats in it. This includes all in one row.

Hadas H

Why you should buy a Honda!

I barely have problem with my car. It is strong and reliable. I traveled everywhere with my car and always felt safe to go anywhere with it. After 11 years with my car I never felt different about buying a Honda pilot! It was a great choice for my family and myself.

Brenda D

Honda Pilot is a Great Overall Vehicle

I have loved everything about my vehicle. The only thing I've had issues with is the leather on the center console has started to peel off.

Stev C

This car is going to run forever

Large Suv, tow hitch, 4 wheel drive. 3rd row seating. Love it.

Carson D

2010 Honda Pilot with Third Row Seating

I love my car. I think it's incredibly reliable. I've never had any issues with drivability or starting it. I do occasionally have issues with the sensitivity of the low tire pressure light. I think my one annoyance is that my gas mileage isn't great, but I think that's more because of where I drive than the car itself. My car feels very safe, and I would recommend it to anyone!

Courtney F

My Honda pilot is great for large families and comfortable for long rides.

I love my pilot because it is big enough for my family even with 3 car seats the children still have plenty of room. It is easy to let the second row down to get in and out of the 3rd row. My children love the sunroof and DVD player which comes in handy with long rides! I love how smooth it drives and it is very comfortable it is overall a good vehicle and my favorite so far out of all my other vehicles owned.

Samantha K

Best SUV for everyday use - perfect for anyone.

I honestly cannot say enough about this truck! Not only is it reliable and dependable, it is relatively affordable and economical to fix when problems arise. It performs well in bad weather and has an overall smooth ride. Bonus- there is plenty of storage, and it has an overall comfortable and spacious interior. I may be sold on Hondas forever.

Negative Owner Reviews

Lil R

My great and reliable Honda pilot.

Great, reliable car. Even at almost 11 years old it is running fine and gets me to where I need to go. Although I can tell the engine is running down it is still a great car but the air conditioner and heat struggles. The interior is nice and comfortable.

Molly G

Study Honda with some quirks.

The compartment for the wiper fluid is so tiny that I can only use it three times before it is empty. The seats are ripping, I like the way it drives though, very smooth and the Honda team is really good about contacting me about recalls. The car seems like it had some corners cut but some how some things are high end. It is a study little Honda with some odd problems some the result of being 10 years old.

Juliana M

Seat warmers, adjustable seating, and ability to put back seats down is great.

The car runs great and has great features. The only thing that I would change is how much room the third row of seats had for their feet. I wish there was more room for their feet in the back seats. Other than those small changes that I would make, I love everything about it!

Saa D

That any car is going to be a ton of money from car repairs to payments and then gas

It's ok but needs to much work to keep up with. Has us also super expensive

Caleb M

A brief observation of a Honda Pilot and its usability.

I like the size and usefulness of my vehicle, but the tinted windows make it difficult to see at night, and after extensive use the brakes are a bit stiff. The large size if the vehicle also makes parking a bit difficult, but luckily there is a back-up camera to help with that. It's a pretty good vehicle for the family, not really for personal use.

Ben D

The ups and downs of a 2010 pilot.

For the first five years or so, the vehicle was quite reliable overall. However, there have been multiple issues since, everything from recalls to faulty brakes. Those first five years made the purchase worth it. For the majority of the vehicle's life, it has survived many road trips, spills, etc..

Ashley J

Useful Information for those interested

Has sensors, leather seats. Fully loaded, holds a lot of things. Has a rear view camera window shades headlights are kind of dim I don't like that the turn signal is red has turns signals on the mirrors. Has multi driver seat settings which I like a lot. Power seats. Rear air control

Sammy M

The Honda pilot can fit many people and had foldable seats to extend the trunk.

The breaks give me a hard time. I have to always go get them fixed but end up having the same problem. The radio also keeps showing an error message which hinders me from playing music or using an aux cord. The car is great in that it can fit about 8 people and is good for long trips. The car has foldable seats to allow the truck to extend.

What Do Critics Say About the Honda Pilot?

Consumer Reports says the Pilot has lost ground on interior fit & finish, with lower than average owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Pilot a 4.4/5 praising the nice interior storage features, but doesn’t like the amount of buttons used on the dash for the stereo system.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Pilot 4.5/5 and enjoy the passenger room in all 3 rows, but owners don’t like the lack of premium features found on other SUVs.

What Common Problems Does the 2010 Honda Pilot Have?

The most common problems found on the 2010 Honda Pilot include engine problems, the steering system failing, and paint peeling off. These problems are more severe than other midsize SUVs from 2010, and repair costs are average.

Engine problems leading to excessive oil consumption are the most widespread complaints from around 95,000 miles. The problem is caused by the variable cylinder management system and some owners have replaced a lot of engine components to fix it, costing over $3,000.

Steering rack failures show up on some 2010 Pilot models at around 125,000 miles. The rack and pinon start to leak heavily and eventually the components wear out. Replacing the rack and pinion costs about $1,000, depending on local labor rates.

Peeling paint is another complaint mentioned by owners in the first 65,000 miles. Paint that is improperly cared for and left out in direct sunlight will start to peel as it ages. Repainting the affected areas costs about $1,000 per panel.

There are 10 recalls, which is worse than other midsize SUVs from 2010. The most serious recall is for seat belt stitching which fails, and Honda will replace the seat belts with new ones. All of the other recalls are for air bags, which is a common recall across many SUVs from 2010.

How Long Will the 2010 Honda Pilot Last?

A well-maintained 2010 Honda Pilot only lasts around 200,000 miles, giving it a poor durability rating of only 6/10. Its lifespan is around 100,000 miles less than top-rated competitors like the Toyota 4Runner. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to other SUVs from 2010, according to Repair Pal, at $568 per year.

Since most 2010 Honda Pilot models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace items including the A/C fan motor for $450, the power steering pump costing $650, and the valve cover gasket, which costs $350.

Ivy R

I love my Honda pilot. It is perfect. Reliable 100%. The only thing I have had issues with, is getting in between the driver seat and the console; if I drop something.

Heather S

It has been reliable for the most part it is an older model so it has needed upkeep and a few things have had to be replaced through the 5 years I have had it.

Shantalee S

Like all cars eventually there are some problems. The only things that have been problems have been little and easy to fix. Nothing has broken down through and have been able to get places.

Carrie A

The pilot is extremely reliable! I have only had issues with the alternator- I have replaced it 3 times in the 9 years I have owned it (original owner). Other than that, it handles great in the snow or any adverse weather, and is very comfortable!

Lauren K

Yes it is very reliable. I recently changed the battery and the old one had lasted 5 years beyond its rated date. No known problems other than the aforementioned ECOsystem.

Peggy A

So far the only problems have been with normal maintenance required to keep up a car. There is a recall on the airbag that I need to have fixed.

Robert C

The car is very reliable, the car has a lot of useful gadgets attached on it. The only problem is that is uses a lot of gas.

Kate G

It's been pretty reliable for me. I need new struts some other things replaced, but it's been good to me so far. I didn't think it would cost as much to fill up the tank as it does, but that's my worst complaint.

Is the 2010 Honda Pilot a Good Value?

No , the 2010 Pilot is not a good value since you’ll spend a lot of money fixing issues. Blue book prices range from $10,135 to $12,601, making the Pilot close in price to similarly equipped SUVs including the Toyota Highlander and Nissan Pathfinder. When new, the price range was $27,895 to $40,245. Depreciation is similar to other SUVs, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Honda Pilot?

The second generation of the Honda Pilot was introduced in 2009 and replaced by the third generation in 2016. There are four models of the Honda Pilot offered for 2010.

LX is the entry-level model with:

17-Inch Steel Wheels
Cloth Seating
Keyless Entry
7-Speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo With 3.5mm AUX

What Engines Come In the Honda Pilot?

The engine found in the Honda Pilot is the average 3.5L V6 which makes 250 horsepower and gets up to 19 MPG. Performance is similar to other midsize SUVs taking 7.2 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH. The towing capacity is low, at only 4,500 pounds.

What Colors Does the Honda Pilot Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Honda Pilot?

The 2010 Honda Pilot is a midsize SUV which earns a high comfort score of 8/10, and is similar in size to the Mazda CX-9 and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Passenger room is fantastic throughout the cabin with seating for up to 8. There’s also enough leg room in the third row to easily fit taller adults.

How Is the Storage In the Honda Pilot?

Cargo space is better than average for a midsize SUV and the Pilot fits 5-6 suitcases behind the third row, and 8-10 behind the second row.

How Does the Honda Pilot Compare to the Competition?

The Honda Pilot sounds like a good SUV, but there are just too many problems for the 2010 model year to recommend it to buyers. Shoppers should look at models from 2011–2015 which all have fewer engine issues.

The Toyota Highlander is a competitor which is available in the same price range. Reliability ratings are better in the Toyota Highlander, but the Honda Pilot has more passenger room in the third row. We recommend the Toyota Highlander for the 2010 model year since it lasts longer, but the competition is closer in other years.

The Acura MDX is another midsize SUV which costs about $1,000 more. Both the Honda Pilot and Acura MDX are built on the same platform, but the Acura MDX has a more luxurious interior and better technology. We recommend avoiding both the Acura MDX and Honda Pilot for 2010 since they have the same engine issues.

Do Owners Recommend the Honda Pilot?

Ivy R

Yes, very reliable from the day I purchased it. My Honda provides safety and peace of mind, for me and my family.

Heather S

Yes it is a great family car and has been a good vehicle. It has plenty of room and I love the 3rd row seating. We use it often for towing stuff and does great. Has been pretty reliable.

Shantalee S

The vehicle gets me where I need to so I would say yes it is. Its spacious too so that is another thing that I love.

Carrie A

Absolutely! This is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned! Highly recommend! I have driven newer models of the Honda pilot and I actually prefer the earlier model!

Katie B

It is mostly a wonderful car. The one major problem is the factory installed ECOsystem. In many cars the ECO can be turned off and on. It is automatic in the 2010 Pilot. Therefore at 45 MPH the vehicle shimmies and growls because of the Ecosystem. It is literally my only complaint. Drives great, handles well.

Chelsea S

Yes. I have owned this car for 7 years. The only current problem is the tearing of the leather on the middle console and driver side door.

Megan S

Yes it is a good vehicle for families since it is spacious. The car is very efficient and good to use everyday.

Shannon W

Yes, it's been pretty reliable for me. From time to time, I'll have some maintenance lights come on the dash when I know nothing is wrong with the vehicle, but it may be an electronic issue.

Shantal R on June 25, 2021

Honda pilot is the best family vehicle.

My vehicle is the best out all that we have had. It is awesome we fit all the family and can use to move if need to. It is great for family trips. It is great for hauling either vehicles or trailer. We as family love riding bike at the like and can take them with us on our vehicle.

Casi B on June 23, 2021

Plenty of room and very reliable!

I have had this vehicle for 2 years and have not had any major issues. They did have to update the computer system and replace spark plugs due to a recall, but otherwise - no issues. It is very comfortable and also has 3rd row seating. I am able to fit myself, significant other, car seat and a 10 year plus groceries/personal items with room to spare. I have a pretty standard/basic vehicle but it does have a backup camera, which has come in handy a lot more than I thought would!

Nicole B on May 5, 2021

Our Honda pilot with a family of six.

We love our pilot. Especially for the fact it fits our family of 6. It is good for gas mileage and rarely has a mechanical issues. The only thing that I wish is that it had better air conditioning in the back we live in Southern California and it can get really hot. We had to buy extra fans to keep air flow good in the back.

Lil R on May 5, 2021

My great and reliable Honda pilot.

Meghan C on April 20, 2021

Why Honda’s are the best cars.

Honda pilots are a very reliable, dependable and well made cars. I would encourage anyone to buy rather than lease, as they are cars made to last a long time. The leather seats, seat warmers, three seat rows and everything else is absolutely impeccable in this vehicle!

Danielle H on April 12, 2021

Honda pilot(s) are family friendly and safe.

I love my pilot. It is extremely comfortable. I have two children who look forward to movies in the car, as it has a built in DVD player. We frequently drive 14+ hours to visit family. Leather seats I am not too fond of in the warmer months as the seats get very hot. The three rows of seats provide enough seating so I can babysit my nephews, and still run errands. The second and third rows can be put down so I can travel with my two dogs. Very nice vehicle, will definitely purchase another.

Samantha K on April 7, 2021

Best SUV for everyday use - perfect for anyone.

claudia O on April 5, 2021

With a fuel economy of 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway*,

Reviewers said the 2010 Honda pilot is not very fun to drive, but they praised its comfortable ride and useful storage cubbies. Add in the pilot's great safety scores, and some families might decide that a used Honda pilot is right them. Hondas have always had excellent resale value, mostly due to their outstanding reliability ratings. The Honda pilot is no exception in this right. Receiving top picks from accredited raters the pilot has proven itself to be an outstanding, practical third-row SUV.

Brenda W on April 2, 2021

It is very stable and has all the extra things you need.

I love the room that it has and that it has a navigation system built in. Also that it has free hand phone and last a long time and runs great.

John P on April 2, 2021

Drives very smoothly, and has great control.

Like the size, color and handling. I dislike the deceptive size of the car when backing out. I dislike the buzzing static from the AUX cord.

Elizabeth T on March 30, 2021

It's roomy and drives well. The family can take a roadtrip and fit all that we need to take without problem.

Love everything but the cost of filling the gas tank.

Andrea Z on March 28, 2021

People should know that the car is safe. It is a good built car.

I like the spaciousness of the vehicle. I dislike how much maintained has been required. All around a good car.

Shonda S on March 28, 2021

Big truck good on gas. I can travel in it.

I had this Honda for 6 years and only had few problems nothing major. Honda are great cars to have. I have a Honda pilot it can fit 8 people. It have a DVD player so the kids can watch. Good on gas. My mileage is up there but it a 2010 SUV. I have new parts on my vehicle.

Steph S on March 25, 2021

Good reliable family car with poor gas mileage.

Very spacious & comfortable with ample storage. Great family car. Seats fold down to haul large items. Pretty stable on slick roads. Lots of neat features like back window opens so you don't need to open whole back hatch. One downfall is poor gas mileage.

Brenda D on March 23, 2021

Honda Pilot is a Great Overall Vehicle

I have loved everything about my vehicle. The only thing I've had issues with is the leather on the center console has started to peel off.

Allee M on March 19, 2021

Perfect for our growing family!

I love my Honda pilot! When I became a mom I wasn't quite ready to drive a “mom car” (aka van) but I wanted something roomier and more functional for our family - the Honda pilot was a perfect fit! Now I have three kids in car seats and it is still working for us. And the extra row of seating in the back is perfect for additional riders! Plus, our model includes the DVD player which is a must for our long road trips to visit family. Overall, this has been a reliable and comfortable car for our family.

Alex M on March 13, 2021

Great vehicle for parents with small kids!

By far my favorite car I have owned! The kids love having a TV in the car and I love having the option to listen to my own music while they're watching a movie by plugging their headphones in. There’s ample amounts of storage throughout the vehicle. I haven't had any issues with it besides basic maintenance, which is always a plus. All in all I wouldn't hesitate recommending this car to family and friends!!

Ben D on March 4, 2021

The ups and downs of a 2010 pilot.

Bruce B on March 2, 2021

Honda's are very reliable.

My Honda is generally reliable. The only issues I have had are really just general maintenance and because the car is 10 years old I am starting to have issues with small things like the window motors and the sunroof little issues like that. But I am generally happy with everything else.

Marcus T on February 27, 2021

DVD player for long trips.

Holds value well drives great pretty good mpg. Holds the entire family and the seats fold down for some pretty good hauling space. Does great in the snow. I haven't had any problems with it. It is a great family car. I plan on getting another pilot when I need to get a new car.

Lauren O on February 26, 2021

The Honda pilot is very spacious.

I love my Honda pilot because it has lots of room. This car is great for families with kids. There are 2 backseat rows in this vehicular that are collapsible. Therefore there is room for all the kids and also lots of trunk space if needed. The style of this car is also amazing. It is also very reliable. I have had my car for ten years and it is still going strong!

Robert Z on February 24, 2021

Great family, vacation, camping, whatever car.

The biggest plus for us was the interior space, we made sure to get the vehicle in its class that had the biggest interior space for luggage. We also tested the leg room since I am a pretty tall person. We like the comfort and drive of the vehicle, there really is not much to say negative about the car. Honda is also known for driving a really long time as long as they are taken care of.

Lani T on February 12, 2021

Best SUV: Honda pilot 2010.

Nice size. A lot of room and storage space. Comfortable, adjustable seats. Great warning system on dashboard for tires, oil change, etc. Great airflow for all 3 rows of seats. Drives smoothly, with good traction control. Great four wheel drive, good in snow.

Lauren J on February 11, 2021

Perfect car for a family- safe, reliable, and affordable. The best.

My vehicle has been the absolute best. It is 8 years old and still drives like new. It has only needed minor repairs. It was perfect when I was single, in a relationship without children, and now is a perfect car for a family with children. It is extremely safe, which is the biggest priority with having children.

Sharon W on February 1, 2021

I love my Honda Pilot, it's roomy, comfortable, reliable and well made. I will keep it for many years to come

Honda stands by their product. The quality of it exceeds many other vehicles

Emily P on January 19, 2021

Perfect car for families with multiple children.

Gas mileage, space, storage. Kind of of hard to drive. Lost of storage space though. Plenty of room for kids. Very roomy. Many storage compartments.

Tina G on January 16, 2021

Roomy SUV with lots of features.

My car actually had the motor seized up. It was burning oil too fast. Luckily I had bought a warranty with it and they replaced the whole motor. It has worked great ever since then. It is very roomy and has a ton of cargo space. The third row seat easily folds up and down. The TV in the back is a lifesaver with kids. And the wireless headphones work great and allow me to listen to music in the front while my kids watch a movie in the back.

Denise T on January 11, 2021

The Honda Pilot is a Reliable vehicle for a family.

Love 3rd row, size, smooth driving, handles snow well. Compartments are convenient. Only complaint was I had a leak that ruined rugs.

Gabbie S on January 10, 2021

Honda pilot: spacious, comfortable traveling.

The Honda pilot is so much more roomy and comfortable inside than you would think by looking at it from the outside. There is plenty of storage room, and I love the third-row seating option. It drives smoothly, is reliable, and serves our family's needs well.

Brendan O on January 7, 2021

Superb safety features provide ease while driving for all people riding.

The Honda pilot is a sustainable buy. Being a Honda it can last for a long time and make the buy worth it. Honda's safety features are top of the line and are improving with each year. Definitely a reliable, safe, and efficient vehicle with many features.

Janice S on January 3, 2021

It's a Honda and Honda is known for its reliability.

I dislike the fuel economy. I like the way it drives and that it's comfortable. It also has enough space for my family. I like the Honda brand.

Consuelo S on December 27, 2020

Ideal for large families.

I like that it holds 8 people safely. Great use for camping with the family. Easy to use functions. It's perfect to travel with the whole family. Easy to put down the seats when hauling large items. Parts are affordable to repair and the work is easy to do.

Donna P on December 25, 2020

Good on gas. Comfortable ride.

I love my Honda pilot very reliable. Good on gas good in the snow comfortable ride. It has 3 rolls of seating so I can seat 8 to 9 people for a long commute. And it is very good on leg room. I strongly recommend a Honda pilot to any consumer looking for a reliable car.

Mackenzie K on December 16, 2020

Has lasted a family of 5 for 9 years now and is still running fine!

This car has been driven for 9 years constantly and has never let us down! Great car. Holds up to 8 people so it is great for families to use on an everyday basis and on trips! The stereo has an auxiliary cable option so you can listen to music on your phone or on the radio. Gas mileage is great and very reliable.

Opal R on December 16, 2020

Simple and ready to use everyday.

I really like my car because it is very simple. In my opinion, other cars are really flashy but mine is simple and gets me where I need to be. Depending on your car, it might take you a while to get used to the gas and/or the mechanics but my car was really easy to get used to.

Steven S on December 15, 2020

The quiet pilot. Great on gas, and very roomy.

My car has never had any issues in 3 years I have had it. I love all the space and comfort that it has. My nieces love my TV that I have, and it's really useful that the 2nd and 3rd rows fold down flat. My pilot is very quiet. When I am stationary, my friends forget that my car is even on sometimes.

Kelly W on December 13, 2020

Reliable Honda pilot for mom.

My car is very reliable, does not have a lot of issues considering it is 10 years old. It drives smoothly & handles well. We like having a built in DVD player & the flexibility of the 3rd row. If we are hauling more than 5, we put it up to seat up to 8. On a normal day, I leave it down & use the back for sports gear, chairs, & groceries.

Art H on December 13, 2020

Loving and driving my Honda pilot. Car that is dependable, comfortable and safe.

Good driving, comfortable seats has extra row of seating. Rear view camera. No major problems. Cap check light blinks but have not been able to resolve this issue otherwise everything else is okay. Comes with a 6 CD changer satellite radio, wireless Bluetooth and garage door opener features.

Richard M on December 11, 2020

Very nice for family and good to use for road trip

Love it and very nice and comfortable and no complain at all

Oliver C on December 11, 2020

Honda pilot: the best car.

I haven't really had any problems with the car, if I am being honest. I have never had any issues with it. One time, when I was younger, I got into a crash, but the car protected me very well and was not even totalled, despite the severity of the crash.

sandy G on December 10, 2020

Roomy ride and great for road trips with the family.

Great comfort. Really roomy with a third row and can fit a big family for long car rides. Reliable and great car for the last 10 years. We have used it on long road trips and hope to continue using it for years to come. It is a great car and when it's time to upgrade we will consider another pilot.

Eleni K on December 6, 2020

I love the durability of this car and it feels very safe when I drive it.

I have the Honda pilot. I have had this car for 10 years and it is so reliable, durable, and drives wonderfully. The car drives so smoothly and I love it. I had not experienced many problems with the car, considering that we have had it for 10 years now.

Taun M on December 1, 2020

The most important thing everyone should know is that my car is very reliable!

I like the room it has on the inside. I like that I can haul many things by simply folding the seats down. I love the shape of it. I love the fact it holds a lot of people! I have no complaints other than the gas mileage could be a little better!

Prudence J on November 30, 2020

Manageable! Spacious! Comfortable!

I love how spacious it is! Great to cart the kids and family around in comfort! The DVD player makes it trips more fun as the kids are able to watch their favorite movies! Headphones are comfortable! Great for the grocery store haul! It is not a truck... But works like one!

Raven D on November 30, 2020

Honda pilot 2010 great car!

I love this car. I get great miles per gallon. I only have to fill up the tank once every few weeks even when I have to drive to work. The leather seats are very comfortable. The car also has a GPS system programmed in it. I can always rely on this car even in the winter with ice on the roads and snow on the ground.

Sue A on November 19, 2020

My thoughts of my Honda pilot.

Reliable, roomy, lots of storage, dependable, needs better holding areas for your purse needs a drop down for storage like the odyssey- runs great - never had any major issues with it at all—. I would recommend the pilot to anyone who was looking for an 8 passenger vehicle.

Wanda M on November 18, 2020

2010 Honda pilot -comfort, style, great price.

Honda pilot is a reliable vehicle. Third row seating for comfortable ride up to 7 passengers. Touring package includes DVD for long ride entertainment. Heated seats and lumbar support ensure comfort while driving. Priced well compared to other SUVs in the same class.

My car is the most amazing thing out there. Reliable, comfy, and spacious.

I love everything about my Honda pilot. It is comfy and the most reliable car I have had. Also great to have if you have kids or lots of nieces and nephews.

Would be even better with subwoofers.

I love this vehicle. The only thing I have not like since having it is that you cannot install subwoofers because of the active noise cancellation. The only way to allow for subwoofers to work is to cut or disconnect the anc wires and microphones. Everything else is great.

Drives great, comfortable, & roomy!

I love the size - very roomy and comfortable. I also like that it has 4-wheel drive so I can easily get around in the winter weather. I also get good service from the dealership where I bought it.
