I like my 06 Honda Pilot yes it is older but the car only has 80,000 miles on it and the engine seems to always knock it is embarrassing the car is great inside runs well but people look at my car when it's idle because of the loud knocking of the engine I have researched the problem and turns out a lot of people have this problem on this car other than that I love my pilot!

The pilot that could

The pilot that could do anything arrived in my Facebook marketplace search and for only $3600. It had 174557 miles on it and needed some tlc on the inside (headliner, a good scrubbing, and some Apple CarPlay) but it is somehow one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven. Now some 17 months later we are knocking on the door of 190,000 miles and the pilot is still going strong, makes me really appreciate the simple engineering approaches made by the design team at Honda in the early 2000’s. We have the ex-l 4WD trim and I have to say, this pilot has done it all so far and has not gotten stuck ever. This is the pilot that could, the pilot that could do anything if you just bought one. Our pilot is the first Honda for us, and will not be the last, and with a baby on the way it makes me feel good that we have a car that will meet our growing family’s needs well I to the future. I just took it on a bachelor weekend from Jacksonville Florida to Asheville North Carolina and, being stuffed with 6 men and all of their gear, it didn’t only get us there and back but it returned -17mpg. Not too shabby. If you are reading this and considering buying one of this vintage, do it.

This is a dependable, low maintenance car that drives beautifully even after 10 years and over 170,000 miles. My two boys grew up in this Pilot. It's taken us to soccer matches, water polo tournaments and family vacations throughout the years. This has been reliable daily commuter and a comfortable long trip choice for our household. The maintenance has been reasonable and it has never stranded us. All repairs have been in line with the expected life of its parts and we kept it on schedule with recommended service cycles.

Oir Honda Pilot is the best. It is so versatile and big yet drives like a small car. We have never brought the car into a repair shop for anything more than scheduled maintenance. I swear this car will run for ever. The interior has supportive seats and after 100k there is not a tear in the drivers seat leather not even wore out. Really good on the snow stability control barges in exactly when u need it. It is really just like a box so visibility is crazy good. Rearward visibility is as good as it gets with a back up camera. The only feature I would like on this pilot is just a little more horse power and torque it never feels stressed but I just LOVE power.

I purchase my suv brand new...After putting 76k miles the car still drives really good. Just the regular maintenance and haven't have any problems. I notice a few a bad reviews about the SUV. Would it be possible that previous owner did a bad job on maintenance. I always follow the maintenance minder which saves me a lot of money. Sometimes dealership want you offer all this extra maintenance which does not require you to do it. I used to drive a X5 but the maintenance and gas killed me. I have no kids but i always enjoy driving SUV. A friend of mine drives a 2006 LEXUS GX470. I still like the ride on my awesome PILOT.
