Honda Pilot - 2007 Reviews

The Pilot is my first SUV after having driven mostly quick, sporty coupes.  I was looking for an SUV because my growing family had outgrown the coupe.  This is the third Honda we have owned, and I don't think we'll ever get a non-Honda vehicle because in our experience, with regular maintenance, Hondas last forever. 

As with any non-hybrid SUV, the Pilot's gas mileage is not great.  And it can feel a little bit lumbering as it goes up steep hills.  However, when it's not having to work too hard (i.e., when it's on level ground, travelling at a steady speed) the engine switches to running...

OK, let's face it - a minivan is never "cute" or "stylish" or even "fun to drive" but it's practical because you can fit six kids in the back and all the stuff that goes along with kids. If I didn't have kids, I probably wouldn't buy a Honda Pilot, but I do have kids and I wanted a car that was sportier, cuter and more fun to drive then the minivan I had before and I am very pleased with my Honda Pilot. 

It's not great on gas mileage, but it's easy for my children to climb into the back, the doors are easy for them to operate and they can work all the seatbelts in the back seats, even the middle...

After driving a Nissan Pathfinder for ten years I was in the market for a new car.  I did not like the new model of Pathfinder so I set out to find an SUV that would provide stability on the road in ice and snow.  I test drove a number of vehicles and settled on the Honda Pilot. The Pilot has handled extremely well on the hilly roads of Southeastern Ohio.  Highway driving is a dream and for an SUV it is obtaining what I would consider excellent gas mileage.  When the first snow of season hit I was concerned about the Pilot's ability to remain stable on the icy roads.  I was overjoyed with...

I've never owned a Honda before (although my husband has) and it was time to trade in my van.  The kids are getting older so I felt I needed to "graduate" to something more grown-up. I chose the Honda Pilot and have not regretted that decision yet!  It is so luxurious and comfortable but it's the safety features that I love!  Airbags all around, the passenger seat automatically detects the weight of the passenger in case it is a child and shuts off the front airbag. It also detects if either front passenger is wearing their seatbeat and "alarms" you until it is put on.  This might be annoying...

My husband bought me my Honda Pilot for my birthday back in 2007.  It has been a wonderful SUV that is very roomy and comfy for long trips with the kids.  It has a spacious back area and separate climate control so the persons in the back can use thier own heat or air.   The few things that I wish were on the pilot are things you can do without but would be a great conveniece if they were on the automobile.  Our pilot has been reliable and we really love the appearance.  We test drove many other SUV's and they were not as roomy or have the smooth drive that this one does.
