2006 Honda Pilot consumer reviews

Initially I went in to view a different Honda Pilot and a Toyota Highlander and found out that both had sold that day. However, I test drove what I thought was the original Pilot. I told the salesman Brian who was working with Heidi my original saleslady (who was off that day) that I had prayed for the vehicle that God wanted me to have. This Pilot was in great shape with less miles, leather seats, a sunroof, 6 cd changer, 4x4. They knew the original owner who had all of the maintenance done at the lot, had taken great care of this vehicle and had just traded for a brand new 2016 pilot. I negotiated a price and paid for the vehicle and was out of the building in less than two hours. I did not have a way to drive two vehicles home that night, so I asked if they could bring the Pilot to me at work the next day and of course they did! Great buy! Great experience!

I bought my 2006 Pilot EXL in 2012, and when I did, it was immaculate. Only 89,000 miles on the clock, new tires, recent replacement of the timing belt, and a complete log book of oil changes, repairs, and maintenance. All of that combined with a price way below "Blue Book," and I should have had the car of my dreams. I wish! What I didn't like: 1. The interior is "Boomy." What I mean is, that you hear every little crack and crevice of the road as you drive. Okay, not the worst thing. 2. Very poor fuel economy. 18-19MPG on the highway, with the cruise set, and doing a steady 65mph. 3. For a vehicle this big, the driver's seat doesn't go back far enough for a 6'2" driver to get comfortable with. I felt like I was still driving my 1969 Chevy pick up, and was crammed against the wheel and pedals. 4. Did I mention the lousy gas mileage? 5. If you have the EXL, you get the Navigation system, only if you want to upgrade it, you need to buy a new disk from Honda for $150.00, and it's not updated enough to catch all the new roads, plus, it is a very, very, very clunky system to use. After a month of beating my head against the dashboard, I just never turned it on. 6. The radio has the worst reception I have ever had in a car! Pathetic! In my humble opinion, this might be the worst vehicle Honda has ever made, and it they offered me a new one for fifty bucks, I'd only take it to trade it in the next day. Sorry, I can't think of anything about this vehicle that I liked. I sold it after a year, and at a big loss, and do NOT regret getting rid of it. As the robot in Lost In Space might have said, "Warning, warning!! Danger car buyer!"

The dealership Imports Auto Sales made our car buying experience so smooth and painless. We love our car and can't wait to go on adventures with it.

This vehicle is very spacious. The seating is comfortable. The extra seat in the back are excellent for additional riders. The AC works well and we have been in a heat wave for the past 7 days. It holds the road well. It has automatic locks. I like the fact that it has no ashtrays, so it' s very easy to let people know that there is no smoking in the car. The CD player works well and the am/fm radio is great. Spacious room for cargo. You can even load a standard mattress in the back. Cruse control is good. Front and side airbags. The front and rear bumpers protect the car from must bumps. I love the smooth ride

Love this vehicle. I live in Colorado and go to the mtns. regularly. Accelerates UP the passes past others on the highway with 4 people and gear in it. Took me over moderately snowy 4WD passes where there were signs of multiple other vehicles having had to back down/turn around. Very comfortable and my mid 80's parents love to ride in it. Great windows and passengers get full views even sitting in the third row seats.

AWSOME SUV, super comfortable and reliable, safe and stylish.I WOULD DEFINETLY RECOMEND THIS sUV,GREAT FOR THE PRICE

They never let us down !!! Have owned 5 Honda products, and are by far the most dependable, value rated vehicles we've owned.

Bought a used 2006 Honda Pilot with 110,000 miles with leather interior and rear dvd player. I just love the inside. It is very roomy and comfortable. So far only issue is radio is bad for AM only, excellent otherwise. The DVD sound system in the back seat is fantastic. Deep base, surround sound is excellent. Sounds like a theater.

We were leery to trade in our mini van for a Pilot, but we never really loved the mini van idea to begin with. It was a choice of practicality. As our kids are now 2.5 and 3.5 years old we felt we'd try the Pilot out. I was afraid I'd miss things about the mini van (storage, automatic opening doors, extra seat in back, much more room. To some extent I do miss the room to "roam about the van" if kids need me back there --- but that is all I miss. Love our Pilot!! Anxious to see how it handles in the snowy, icy, NW Ohio winter weather.

Most reliable vehicle I have ever had. Very comfortable on highway, pretty peppy for size and its 3.5L V6 engine. Vehicle is very boring looks-wise but if you are looking for great ride for family that seats 8 and want dependability this is the vehicle. I would ditch the Goodyear Integrity tires that comes standard on vehicle however as they just don't match up to Michelin tires which recently went with. I plan to keep this vehicle for a long time as I expect it to last.
