Problems with cylinder cutoff engine.

Sadly, the Honda Pilot with the variable cylinder cutoff system, is an unmitigated disaster in my experience. This engine has had major breakdowns 3 times, and should have been recalled. It is a shame, as otherwise it is a great car. Would only buy a normally aspirated 4 cylinder Honda (if any Honda) in the future.

Love it

Full size room but feels like a mid size SUV. Able to transport two large dog crates. Gets good gas mileage. I would buy another one.

Very functional and reliable, this year burned oil

Great family car, has a lot of interior space For the size and everything is functional. This year burned oil which was frustrating but I am a fan of the line.

Logan Day picked the BEST car for me.

Will take me a while to master all the tech features, but the driving is a dream. Has room for my buddies AND my gear.

Love my Pilot!!! This is the 2nd one I've owned!

This car is perfect for larger families and it is a smooth ride! This is our 2nd one and we wouldn't go for any other brand!

Most reliable vehicle I have owned.

This vehicle with its available four wheel drive system is awesome in poor winter driving conditions. It is also very safe vehicle to travel in. Big car ride in a smaller sized SUV. Very dependable, 3rd Honda we have owned.

My 04 was better..

I've owned my Honda Pilot for 6 years and have taken great care of it but it hasn't really taken care of me. It's had several problems. I now have oil disappearing inside somewhere for the second time but it's a $3000 fix that's just probably not worth fixing at this point. I've already "fixed" it once... The interior is coming apart everywhere. Peeling and tearing. I wish I had never upgraded and had just stuck with my 04.
