Great vehicle. Roomy, reliable, functional and smooth. Used my Pilot for work as a contractor while shuttling the family around town. The perfect SUV for anyone!

Extremely Reliable Car

The 2009 honda pilot is what a utility family car should be.. It is extremely reliable, never for once have I had to go to the service shop except for an oil change or tyre replacement. Its interior comfortably seats a family of 7 plus luggage and its incorporated dvd player(touring model) makes for an engaging road trip experience for kids. Really love this car

Comfortable! Reliable!

Years ago I had a Nissan Murano. I had more problems with that car so my mechanic told me to get a Honda Pilot and that I would never see him again. lol I did and I can tell you that I have had no serious issues at all. That was eight years ago. I have 160K miles on it and I am passing it down to my son, who is getting his license in two weeks. I expect to get another 100K+ on it. It still rides tight... still comfortable... still look great!!!

Another in a long line of reliable cars

This vehicle is a God send, it is the same color as my first Honda, snd has reopened my eyes to Honda automobiles. We will be buying another Honda soon.

Can’t wait for the miles to come!

Perfect size for my growing family, reliable and not a totally mom car! It’s high off the ground and I feel safe driving it in the winter!

We just bought it.

So far we have enjoyed this car. The children love the DVD player. It?s my husbands car and he is very pleased. I have a 2012 Honda Pilot so we knew we wanted another one.

Most reliable car I've ever owned

THis car has met all my needs these past 9 years!! Seats 8 people, great for carpooling. Easy to put seats down, ample storage in back for wide width capacity, like being up high to see, Smooth rides, not too long that I can't easily park. Good looking "truck",Dash Controls easy to use and access,heated seats great! Good acceleration, No major repairs-Service costs seem expected and not out of control. Driving Technology not up to date, but who needs it if you have a iPhone. Fair gas mileage for an SUV-24miles/gal
