Honda Pilot vs Mazda CX-9 vs Toyota Highlander

It’s not even remotely true that the new Pilot was “almost universally panned” by the reviewers. The reviews were actually unusually polarized – usually there is a general consensus on a car in the professional community but in this case it got panned by some and lavishly lauded by others. Numerous prestigious sources gave it the top of its class or named it Car ... Read More...

I was recently working on our Pilot for several hours and the doors were open. When I turned the key on to crank it, the dash board lights blinked and there was a clicking sound. Just as you have described. I did notice that the interior lights were very dim. I checked the battery charge and it was something like 8.5 volts. That is a deeply discharged battery. Although ...

Brand New 2009 Honda Pilot - Won't Start?!?

Written by: matmel04 on Oct 04, 2009 00:55 PM

I just had my brand new 2009 Pilot delivered to my house yesterday. The engine started just fine when they took it off the truck and I drove it into my garage. Now... it won't start! A couple hours after I had parked it, I went out to turn it on and the lights were all dim with the lights on the dashboard all flashing sporadically. The engine doesn't even turn. We thought ...

Plastic Dashboard vs Wood grain dash

Written by: cdolan59 on Sep 28, 2009 10:51 PM

I heard many complaints about Honda's cheap plastic dash in the 2009 pilot. I agree. For about $200 I installed a beautiful wood grain dash. I ordered it online. It sticks on with 3M tape backing which is exactly how they do it when ordered from the dealership. The ones you order on line are very nice and dramatically changed the look of my interior. It gives it a very ... Read More...

Thanks for your reply! Actually my 1 yr old is currently seated in the middle of the 2nd row cus I heard that's the safest spot for children. I was just wondering whether having her near a door would hurt her badly if I need to move her seat. You are right though, it's not the easiest especially when I need the extra room to change her diaper :P Read More...
