Owner Reviews
The Honda pilot feels like a luxury vehicle at a non luxury vehicle price!
My 2017 Honda pilot is sleek, smooth, comfortable, roomy and high tech! I previously owned. 2015 Honda pilot and hated it because it didn't not have the features that I felt it should for the price. I was happy to see that Honda upgraded the 2017 pilot with all of the features I wanted. I fell in love with my 2017! Now I feel like I got exactly what I paid for the car play makes driving and listening to music a breeze. The seats fold up quickly and easily with little to no effort at all! The only problem I have with my heated seats is that they are not as hot as I would like. I love the built in remote start, side mirror and reverse camera! The back seats are very spacious even for adults.
Safe, spacious, comfortable. It is a smooth drive in a all types of weathers.
I currently own a 2018 Honda pilot. This is by far the best car I have ever had. The drive is very smooth and comfortable. It is very spacious especially if you have babies and have to haul around car seats. The trunk is very big and expands if you put the last row of seats down. The cameras are convenient for reversing and very helpful when you park. The in-lane feature helps you stay in your lane and is especially handy when you are driving on the highway. The key fob has a convenient feature to start your car without having to go to your car. This is great for winter season.
2018 Honda pilot- a perfect fit.
Excellent gas mileage and performance on in town drives and long out of town drives. Beautiful detailing of exterior, Bluetooth hands free system which is great. Heated leather seats with lumbar support makes a luxurious ride. Good pick-up for passing v6 engine. Consistently good mileage, even traveling to Arizona and back to Wyoming. Excellent service package and warranty. I will always sing the praises of Honda pilot. Three row seating, so easy to put down and raise seats. Also, slide-forward second row access makes this car a dream when carrying grandkids and dog.
