Had driver's (leather) seat skin replaced twice in first two years because of cracked side panel. Replaced whole seat bottom including foam last year. That is three seats in less than three years. Now they say no more warranty to replace both front cracked seats. This on a car only three years old. Passenger seat is now cracked on the side panel as well.

Bought the Pilot used to replace a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4. Slid the Pilot on ice into a fence (minimal damage - breakaways and scratches only!), and rented my old favorite (Jeep) while being repaired -- found out I missed the Pilot so much! Solid vehicle, so far very reliable! Gas mileage depends upon my foot - have gotten 19.5mpg around town and 24mpg highway when driving carefully, but the 255hp is too tempting! So I average 18/22 instead! Am VERY happy for around town, long trips, family adventures - fits everything we do!

If you have ever owned a Honda, you will recognize the feel and the performance in this vehicle. It has three rows of seats and it comfortable in every one. You have great visibility and plenty of power to get you anywhere you want to go. It just "fits" perfectly. I even towed a large trailer and I couldn't even feel any difference in the performance of my Pilot.

We really like this vehicle. It really does hold 8 people! Excellant ride, fun to drive. Best milage so far is 20mpg, but that is driving 75mph. If you have a pavement surface that tends to be noisy, you hear the difference from an Acura or Lexas, but it's a LOT cheaper than them. It's just so loaded with everything you could want, and it's Honda quality. We could have gotten a few extras(fog lights, tow package, GPS Navigation, or back seat DVD player(the last two are either or, can't have both)but didn't want them.) The V6 engine is certainly lively enough and cruising at relatively high speed is comfortable. We replaced a GMC Yukon and can only say "good riddance.

The honda pilot is the best suv ever! A very smooth drive, reliable, tough, excellent quality in engineering. There are no words to explain the quality of this suv, just test drive it and you'll understand!
