My Honda pilot has never let me down it's good in the rain in the snow gets me were ever I have to go . It's very comfortable and wants to cruise control is set on the open road I have to do very little except for stay awake and steer . Honda has been very good at doing all the recalls and their service is excellent . I had all the maintenance work done on my 2004 Honda Pilot. Including the timing belt and water pump and tensioner all fluids changed or topped off. This is the best car I ever owned. I don’t want to ever sell it. Because the newer Honda Pilot are not as well built.

Best SUV we ever owned.

This is clearly the best SUV that we ever owned. Over the last 16 years we have owned over 30 cars and this is probably the best one overall of all the vehicles. When it comes to SUVs no other beats it. We have had a Durango, Liberty, Passport (both Honda and Isuzu version and CRV (2x). This is the best mix of style, room and functionality that an SUV can have. The third row pulls out easily for when the in-laws come over or the seats fold flat for the runs to the dump. Our Durango spent more time in the shop than on the road so this has been pleasant to fill and go with the regularly scheduled oil change and maintenance. Handles like a dream, even in the rough New England winters.

240K+ miles and still going strong!

I bought this car new in October 2003 and it had 31 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. I now have over 240K miles on it and the only issues I have ever had with it are: driver's door handle had to be replaced after not being able to open the door from the inside, AC compressor went out once. This car has been subject to at least 3 Honda recalls, one being the transmission issue. I will continue to drive it until the wheels fall off. My 1st gen (1997) CRV, which I also bought brand new, is still on the road today with another owner as well. Bought my daughter a new 2009 Fit as a graduation gift. She treats it like her baby! I stand by Honda, trying to decide which I will buy next.

This is a one-owner SUV, with 256,000 miles. It is our go-to vehicle for travel, because it is so comfortable and reliable. It has been impeccably maintained by the same mechanic since new. The timing belt, water pump, all belts, hoses, and fluids, have been replaced at 1000,000 mile intervals. This vehicle has only left us stranded once, in the past 15 years, and that was because we left an interior light on at the airport, which caused us to return to a dead battery! The engine, transmission and 4-wheel drive system have all been flawless, throughout the years. The heater, air-conditioning, and electronics all perform as new. The car has not been involved in a vehicular collision, although it has collided with deer on two separate occasions, resulting in minor front body damage, both which have been repaired. At my age, we don't need three vehicles, so I'm thinking of selling our 'Blue-eyed Susan', after another 7,500 vacation tour this summer. Is there a better and more reliable SUV? I don't think so!
