No major problems

I haven't had major problems driving this vehicle for 10 years. The SUV is spacious, comfortable. Small problems so far: windshield spray stopped working this year. A click noise under driver side console (AC blower?). Other that that, it runs strong.

Best SUV out there for the money!!

This SUV is very stylish inside and out. It has plenty of power and has a huge tow capacity. Handles like a dream for an SUV while still having the feel of a real truck. It has a huge roomy interior and 3rd row seats. Both the 2nd and 3rd row fold down and you have enough room to fit a 4x8 piece of plywood back there. This has been my favorite SUV I've owned!!

Over 160,000 miles on it and going strong.

Great SUV. Plenty of room to haul cargo or people. Reliable, and safe. I have put over 160,000 miles on the car, and I an confident I could put on another 160,000.

9 Years and Still Running!

Although this car was not my first choice, it was a good decision and has been reliable. I like the look of the new Pilot much better.

Most Reliable Car I?ve owned!

Picked up in ?09 with 39 miles and now have close to 150,000! Been everywhere with this thing, it?s oractically a family member (one that doesn?t complain at that :)). Love the ugly utilitarian boxy look, the wheelbase is shorter than most cars out there, so I can get it in anywhere, room galore kids pile in and out like water, and it ha a rugged truck feel, not squishy couch feeling. Dash has too many buttons but adds to the ugly loveliness for me. Just love it, can?t say enough. Thanks Honda!

Love it

The 2009 Honda Pilot has met our expectations and then some. We really like the design and comfort of this family vehicle. The third row is nice option as well.
