Horrible On Gas!

I read all these great reviews about the Honda pilot having good gas mileage for its size, well guess what? NOT TRUE! Horrible! 10 - 12 miles in the winter city driving, and 13-14 in the summer city driving. On the highway I would get about 18 mpg. Where did they get 18 city and 24 hwy? I had it for not even 2 years and got rid of it. I'm not here to only insult the gas mileage. it was reliable and I had no problems with it. The Japanese still have a lot of work when it comes to the mid-size suv segment. More torque than horsepower! Is it that hard for Honda to do that? Apparently yes. I guess they should stick to small lightweight cars. Up next for me? Definitely not the '09 Pilot

Beats a Volvo V70

I have finally taken my Pilot EX-L w/entertainment system on a road trip and I'm very pleased. Mileage with cruise on most of the time was 24 mpg. The trip was 6 hours long, I only stopped once and was very comfy the whole time. I loved the XM radio and 6 CD stereo on this trip and all the space in the vehicle made placement of maps, drinks, cell phone and snacks very convenient. I had to dodge road debris several times at 80 mph and the Pilot handled beautifuly. It also rained on this trip and the handling was no different. I traded in my 2000 Volvo V70 for this and I only wish I had done it sooner. My husband drives a 2000 Accord and we are convinced Honda is the way to go.

Buy German

2006 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV 4WD w/Navigation (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Good on the highways, that's the only good part. Bought the one with a Navigation that has all outdated maps, windshield wipers that do not clean, bug paste literally sticks to low-quality windshield, lousy stereo (multiple problems with the subwoofer) and above all a not a great drive. Engine may be nice, but not fuel efficient if you want to feel a little of the rush. Body is literally made of tin !! Listen to me, buy something German, everything else is a cheap imitation !!! I plan to promptly return this after my lease, but wanted to save a few souls from getting into a similar trap !!!

This Honda is in great condition at a great price. The Seller was great to work with and made sure mechanically that everything my mechanic recommended was done. Very easy purchase. This car is for my grandson, he's extremely happy with his first car and off to college a happy guy.

I bought this vehicle for my wife. It is our first SUV. We went from a Mitsubishi Galant and I have had several pick up trucks. My wife loves this thing and so do I. I am pleased w/ the engine, smooth ride, and the overall features and roominess of the vehicle. Looks great and rides great.
